Yoe, Pennsylvania – June 1st, 2021 – The new tabletop simulation game Vulgord’s Tower was successfully funded on Kickstarter and will be released on the Steam platform on August 10th, 2021.

Vulgord’s Tower is a turn-based strategy game designed and developed by the father and son duo Brian and Gage Magar. The pair began work on Vulgord’s Tower when Gage was just eleven years old and together spent nearly four years developing the game. Their story recently garnered the attention of local media, helping to propel the Kickstarter and support the addition of new content into the game.

In Vulgord’s Tower, players progress through four realms on the board acquiring keys to unlock each realm before ultimately entering the tower. Players must accumulate gold and warriors, upgrading their attacks and battling enemies to amass an army large enough to defeat Vulgord – all while racing their competitors to be the first player to enter the tower.
