🐑🌾 The London Tech Catan Night #6
"Whereas tech drinks optimise for alcoholics, tech games optimise for high-IQ crowds." 🧠
You're invited to a game of Tech Catan with a crowd of high signal founders, operators, & investors, presented by Techgames.xyz.
If you're a statistically literate techy who also finds beauty in abstraction, you probably LOVE games. 🧠
Perhaps you also worked very hard this week and now you're looking to relax. 🔥
If this sounds like you, we want YOU to come. 🫵🏽
What to expect?
Standard Catan Rules - 3 games of 45'. Shuffled tables. Swiss-style tournament. 1 winner.
Curated tech crowd - We're running high-signal gaming events for you to recharge AND find the best allies to boost the odds of your venture's success.
Games + elite tech crowd = Max-ROI 👾
