$3.8 million invested in Playdek

Playdek, a company specializing in the development of mobile versions of board games, has attracted investments in the amount of $ 3.8 million. Several venture capital firms, led by Qualcomm Ventures, have “invested” in it. 

Commenting on the deal, Joel Goodman, executive director of Playdek, said that the funds received will be used for further work on porting board games to mobile platforms. In addition, the company plans to launch an online “hobby games platform”, which would give gamers the feeling that during the game they are at the table “in the digital space”. Also in the near future, Playdek plans to “mobilize” the Agricola desktop strategy.

AgricolaRecall that not so long ago it was announced that Playdek became a partner of Wizard of the Coast in a project to transfer board games from the Dungeons & Dragons line to mobile devices.
