Local Entrepreneur Creates Space-Themed Board Game




Stephen DiMare, owner of The Hyppo Gourmet Ice Pops + Mayday Ice Cream, has released Black Hole Rainbows with a 30-day Kickstarter Campaign

ST. AUGUSTINE, Florida (February 3, 2022) – Local entrepreneur and creative, Stephen DiMare, owner and founder of popular brands such as The Hyppo Gourmet Ice Pops, Mayday Ice Cream, Cousteau’s Waffle and Milkshake Bar, and Mustache: Merchant of Man-Crafts, has created and released a luxury, collectible board game called Black Hole Rainbows, produced under new brand June Dune Games. The space-themed board game officially launched, Wednesday, February 2nd, at a Kickstarter Launch Party at The Fountain of Youth in St. Augustine. 

“I’ve been working on this board game for just over two years,” DiMare explained. “I started it right before the pandemic began and it became a creative outlet during some pretty unprecedented times. In all my projects, the quality of the products and branding is incredibly important to me. I want people to be able to feel that each time they pick up a game piece or experience a high point in the game. This is an heirloom board game that people will hopefully keep for generations.”

Described as “An Energy-Packed Strategy Game of Cosmic Proportions!,” Black Hole Rainbows is suitable for ages 8 and up, ideal for 2-6 players, and takes between 20 and 40 minutes per game. The game retails for $60 and will be sold on Amazon after the Kickstarter campaign ends. DiMare worked with local illustrator and graphic designer, Tommy Davis, to create all of the artwork and design.

“Each player is an intergalactic being that is trying to save the Universe from being slowly crushed into nothingness by Supermassive Black Holes,” DiMare said. “Players will go around the board collecting gems, trying to win supernova coins the fastest, and even engaging in some friendly sabotage to get ahead. I think with the age of space exploration we are entering right now, Black Hole Rainbows will resonate with and bring a lot of joy to players. And, if nothing else, it’s a great occasion to bring friends together to learn a new game!”
