Frontier X Studio announces its political board game, Lock 'em Up!, coming to Kickstarter on October 4th

Lock 'em Up! is the first board game that lets players put politicians in jail! The Kickstarter campaign will feature the game at $35 plus shipping charges added in the Pledge Manager after the 30-day campaign is funded. Early bird backers will be able to get significant discounts.

About the Game

Lock 'em Up! is a fast-paced, family-friendly, bipartisan tabletop game where you use all the dirty tricks in your power to put your opponents in jail before they put YOU in jail.

The game sparked as an idea during the Mueller investigation. Everybody in the country wanted to put someone in jail, but everyone had a different opinion of who it should be. So the home game version of a trial was born.

Unfortunately, characters in the real world were changing so fast there was no way for a game to keep up! That's why our characters focus on titles instead of names. Some of the mid-century style characters may look familiar but in a generic sort of way.

How to Play

The game has 162 cards split into two groups: the Characters, the people you're trying to keep out of jail; and the Actions which give you power to make strategic moves.

Players choose which characters they want to control — the White House, Military, Law & Order, Progressives, Conservatives, or Lobbyists. Players take turns drawing from the Action Cards deck, using those cards to indict or save characters. When the courtroom game board is full, the convictions start. Turn by turn, the characters on the docket are sent to a jail cell, and out of the game. The winner is the last player standing.

Details : 2-6 players, age 8+, 30 minutes to play

GameStop Frenzy Cools, E*Trade Considers Roaring Kitty Ban

GameStop (NYSE:GME) continues to cool following a trading frenzy that drove shares up by 75 percent between the close of trading last Friday (May 31) and the start of trading on Monday (June 3).

The brief rally, which took GameStop shares to US$40.09 on Monday morning, was sparked by a Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) post made late Sunday (June 2) by an account tied to the video game retailer's most prominent supporter, Keith Gill.

Gill, who ignited the meme stock craze in 2021 and is known as Roaring Kitty on other platforms, posted a screenshot on Reddit's Superstonk subreddit that shows a purported US$175 million position in GameStop shares and call options.

Top Trends Shaping the Canadian iGaming Market

From emerging technologies to evolving regulations, the trajectory of iGaming has changed substantially in recent years as the market has experienced significant growth.

In 2022, Ontario's provincial government introduced game-changing legislation that established a regulatory framework for iGaming. Due to this legislation, regulated iGaming successfully displaced the unregulated market, according to Attorney General Doug Downey, creating over 1.6 million active player accounts across more than 70 operator websites as of April 2023 — just over one year following the change.

Ontario's regulation has also laid the groundwork for widespread change in the iGaming space across Canada. As iGaming continues to evolve, it's important to have a deeper understanding of both new and existing trends that will shape the industry's future, as well as regulations.
