Is to celebrate African game artisans, offering them Blackhards: a sanctum to both monetize and spotlight their genius. Alongside, we endeavor to serve gamers worldwide, introducing them to the rich tapestry of African gaming tales.

Possible Solutions ✅

A basic listing platform for African game developers to showcase their work.

Global integration for an extensive gaming platform showcasing a dedicated segment for African games.

An exclusive marketplace for Blackhards to specialized online marketplace for African games and in-game items, promoting a direct link between developers and gamers.
