How did we get started?

It all started when Michal met Milan at a event organized by friends from CGE, where he was showing his prototype of the game Forestry. And because it was already a great game back then, the guys thought about trying to publish it themselves. To do that, they needed to start a publishing company. Many people discouraged us from doing so, because there are quite a few board game publishers and a lot of games are released. Especially in the Czech Republic, which could compete for the title of the highest concentration of board game publishers per capita. But that didn't deter us. We didn't want to sell the game only in our country, but offer it literally to the whole world. We believed in ourselves and naively jumped into it. But why wasn't Forestry our first game, but Galileo Galilei? When we had our first meeting about the possibility of founding Trubadúr, Michal brought Tomáš along. And believe it or not, no one knew him at the time. But when Tomáš showed us the prototype of Galileo, we all fell in love (with Galileo, not Tomáš). And it was clear that this would be our very first game. And when we realized that we were all equally crazy and that we all enjoyed it immensely, it was clear that this would not be just a one-off project, but that we would continue. So here we are, in all our glory!
