Back in the 1980s, Kristan J. Wheaton, a professor at Mercyhurst University, ran his own company designing games and later created simulations for the military. Once he got to Mercyhurst, he wanted to start designing and publishing his own games, including games that teach various intelligence concepts.

To fund his projects, he turned to Kickstarter, but he noticed not all crowdfunding creators knew what they were doing.
