About Us Carl Chudyk graduated from MIT in ‘97 with a B.S. in Math.Entering the real world at the height of the dotcom rush, he promptly moved to California with the rest of his generation. As the bubble burst, Carl returned to Massachu- setts and spent the next three years practicing game design during days as a foot messenger for RS Express, a downtown courier service in Boston. During this time he frequently attended the MIT Strategic Games Society to play favorite games and test new ones. Since Glory to Rome, Carl has gone on to publish other games including Innovation from Asmadi games. Cambridge Games Factory began in 2004 as a late night conversation at the MIT Strategic Games Society about the challenges for new designers to get proto-types into print. A year later, we published our first four Games: A STRATEGY CARDGAME BY CARL CHUDYK Glory to Rome, Ice Pirates of Harbour Grace, Splat! and Sneeze. for 2-5 players, ages 12 and up We’re delighted by the superb feedback and reviews that Glory To Rome has been receiving, especially since this helps build interest in our games without a huge marketing budget. As our company develops we’re looking to Citizens of Rome! Caesar demands ACTION! work with new designers to get their first games published, so expect to see some new faces with our next set of releases. If you’d like to be one of them, 64 AD: Rome is in turmoil – the city has been devastated by fire. Emperor why not shoot us an email at [email protected] Nero is racing back from Antium to start rebuilding Structures lost to the flames. Caesar expects your aid in his historic effort to restore Glory To Rome.
