Eon Products
Eon Products was an American game company that produced board games and game supplements.
History
[edit]In 1972, Peter Olotka, Jack Kittredge, Bill Eberle, and Bill Norton came together as the game design cooperative Future Pastimes.[1]: 188 Seeking to publish their board game Cosmic Encounter, they met Ned Horn, who offered to invest in the game; several weeks later, Olotka, Kittredge, Eberle, and Horn created a new company, Eon Products, and Cosmic Encounter went to press in 1977.[1]: 188
The company also produced Hoax, Ruins, Quirks and Borderlands. The latter was implemented as the computer game Lords of Conquest (1986) published by Eon Software, Inc, and was re-released by Fantasy Flight games as Gearworld: The Borderlands. The Eon design team also designed the Dune boardgame for the Avalon Hill Game Company.
