About GeekStack
GeekStack is a one man startup from Chicago. The mastermind goal is to create a market for informal education. The first attempt at that goal is to create a collectible trading card game featuring the heroes of science and technology.
The first series of cards will be about Computers. It’s what we know so we can focus on game design and building the site and the business rather than research. When we’re making the next sets,about fields like Math, Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, Biology, etc, there will be plenty of opportunity to contribute to the content of the game. The cards will feature the history, people, concepts, discoveries, and events in each of these fields. Sports stars receive loads of fame, money, and attention for the entertainment they provide. Why shouldn’t scientific achievements, which have completely transformed our world, receive some of the same?
We’re still developing the site and the game, but we’re hoping to be ready for playtesters in by the end of the year. If you’d like to be included as a playtester, sign up for the email newsletter (in the right column) and watch the blog and Twitter for announcements.
