Tasty Minstrel Games was founded in early 2009 by Michael Mindes for the publishing of games. Our mission: "We Make Games For Gamers, Their Family, And Friends." It is wonderful to find so many people loving our games and to be receiving emails about how families become closer while playing our games. We have enjoyed bringing Deluxified™ titles to your table for a few years now. Some of the Deluxified™ titles previously delivered to Kickstarter backers include, Orleans, Yokohama, Chimera Station, Flow of History, and Crusaders. As long as we can continue to bring great games to you, we will do that. Thank you for your support.
