2023 Ion Award Winner

Best Strategy Game

I am over the moon excited to have been awarded best strategy game at the 2023 Ion Awards. A huge thank you goes out to my friends, family, and everyone who has helped me build, refine, and playtest this “Gem” of a game. 

Can You Meet King Zarmund’s Demands and Save the Gempire?

 A Royal Decree!

King Zarmund’s capital city is in shambles, and he’s seeking a new gem for his kingdom.

Your home city is one of his top choices and as lead architect, you have been chosen to flaunt your architectural prowess and build a city worthy of being featured as the jewel of his empire… or in this case, his Gempire!

For this competition, King Zarmund has made three unusual and challenging demands regarding his future capital. The first city to satisfy two of these demands simultaneously will be named the new capital of the Gempire!

To win you must use strategy, cunning, and deception to beat out the other challengers. You must plan your city with victory in mind, and manage your city’s scientific advances wisely. Then and only then will you be celebrated with gold and riches as the chief architect of the new Gempire.

Will your strategy win out?
Do you have the foresight and adaptability it takes to beat your competition?
Will you build a city worthy of King Zarmund this time?

We’ll see…

Gempire: Zarmund’s Demands is an innovative, award winning, strategic engine builder and resource management game unlike anything you’ve ever played before.
