On April 22nd, 2017, Daniel Aronson had an idea. It was an idea not just for a game, but for a world full of strategy and combat, twists and turns, victory and defeat. Working with two of his friends, Michael Howard and Nick Tompkins, they quickly sketched out the first prototype on scraps of paper and borrowed pieces from whichever games were within reach to start making the world in their heads a reality. A few months, multiple prototypes and hundreds of play tests later, they couldn’t believe what The Island of El Dorado had become and knew that they needed to share it with the world. On August 29th, 2017, they launched a Kickstarter campaign and were overwhelmed by the support they received from all over the world. Fully funded in less than 20 hours and closing with 1000% of their funding goal from over 4500 backers, El Dorado Games was born. Daniel, Michael, and Nick absolutely cannot wait for our amazing supporters to explore their own islands and write their own stories with their friends. We hope you love El Dorado as much as we do!
