Lioness Games Debuts First Board Game Biome on Kickstarter, Races to over $200k in Days
Lioness Games, a new entrant in the board game industry, has made a remarkable debut with its first game, Biome, which has raced to over $200,000 in orders on Kickstarter within days of its launch. The game, inspired by the founder's passion for board games and nature, was funded in a mere nine minutes, attracting over 3,500 backers from more than 20 countries. Biome is a nature-themed strategy game with 120+ different plants and animals. The game is for 1-4 players, emphasising card placement and tableau building. Players navigate through the four seasons, each impacting their biome differently, as they strive for biodiversity and activate unique abilities of flora and fauna to win. As players progress through the game's four seasons, they must adapt their strategies to the changing conditions, making for a dynamic and engaging gameplay experience. For example, each Spring, players place baby animal tokens in straw nests and in Summer time, they must protect their baby animals from their opponent's predators by playing plant cards. The unique wooden components and player interaction make for a dynamic and engaging game-play experience. Lioness Games debuts first board game Biome on Kickstarter, races to over $200K in days Leonie Grundler, the founder of Lioness Games, is a former tech industry professional and a long-time board game enthusiast. She worked at Airbnb in Germany and found inspiration for Biome during her time spent in board game cafes in Berlin. "Living in Berlin is where my love for board games went from being just a hobby to a passion," recalls Leonie Grundler. After nearly 18 months of development, Biome is ready for people to enjoy. Kickstarter has proven to be an invaluable platform for small game publishers, with games being the largest category, accounting for 30% of all money raised. The success of Biome highlights the importance of building a community of followers months in advance of launching a game on Kickstarter. Lioness Games aims to bring a fresh perspective to the industry. Leonie Grundler added: "I never thought I would make a board game or run a Kickstarter campaign, but here we are, a few days in and $200,000+ in sales. I love nature and board games, so it was natural that my first game would be nature, specifically biodiversity, themed. At Lioness Games, we're changing that narrative by creating games that resonate with a broader audience. Our flagship game, Biome, is a testament to this, offering a unique blend of strategy and environmental education." The game's engaging mechanics and educational value have already garnered praise from nature lovers and gaming enthusiasts alike. Looking ahead, Lioness Games is committed to designing unique games that spark joy, facilitate connection, foster strategic thinking, and drive wonder among players. In line with the game's theme, Lioness Games is committed to giving back to nature. A portion of Biome's profits will be donated to the Wildlife Conservation Network to support their mission of protecting vulnerable wildlife.

Seven celebrates UN Women partnership
Seven West Media is proud to celebrate its fourth year in partnership with UN Women Australia as the Australian broadcast partner for International Women’s Day (IWD), with this year’s day themed “Count Her In: Invest In Women, Accelerate Progress”. IWD is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender equality. Set up in 2021, UN Women Australia’s partnership with Seven West Media has seen the network support key IWD events around Australia the lead up to the day. Across this week, the partnership has seen UN Women Australia CEO, Simone Clarke, appear on The Morning Show on Wednesday; a town hall with 7NEWS ’ Gemma Acton and Home and Away ’s Ada Nicodemou held yesterday for Seven West Media staff; and 7NEWS anchors hosting UN Women events in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne and Canberra today, with a package to appear on air tonight. When asked what economic inclusion empowerment means to them, female leaders across Seven West Media had the following to share: Sunrise co-host, Natalie Barr, said: “To me, it means empowering and encouraging women into higher levels in workplaces. When that happens, the evidence shows, more women are given more chances.” The Morning Show co-host, Kylie Gillies, said: “This is a very meaningful partnership. Marking international days such as International Women’s Day is important to highlight where and what we can do better. When we invest in women, everyone wins.” 7NEWS Network Finance Editor, Gemma Acton said: “Knowledge is power. Economic empowerment is about understanding your finances so you can make the best decisions for you and your loved ones at every stage of your life. It’s about not getting pushed around by people who don’t have your best interests at heart. It’s about setting yourself up to feel confident about your finances so you can earn, save and invest enough to live the wonderful life you want.” Chief Executive Officer, WA, Maryna Fewster, said: “One of the great things about my role is being able to champion and mentor our future female leaders and help empower them to achieve their potential. If we believe, we can! It’s up to all of us to continue working towards true equality for women in a meaningful way.” Chief People and Culture Officer, Lucinda Gemmell, said: “We are so proud at Seven that women represent nearly half of our team members and our leadership team. Continuing to provide opportunities for all our team members to flourish and have strong opportunities to develop and have successful careers at Seven is core to who we are. As the major media sponsor of UN Women’s IWD events again this year, we are proud of the work we do both within our teams at Seven and to promote the importance of economic empowerment.” Chief Marketing and Audience Officer, Melissa Hopkins, said: “While inclusion of women in the workplace has made strong strides, empowering women to reach their full economic potential is the next big frontier. Building confidence and providing tools not only drives females to reach more potential than they thought possible, but it also drives substantial economic growth and value.” Director of Morning Television, Sarah Stinson, said: “Economic empowerment of women means giving women an all-access pass: access to equal pay, access to flexible work arrangements, access to education and affordable childcare and sharing of caring responsibilities. Every IWD it’s amazing to celebrate so many inspiring females and their accomplishments. It's my hope that soon we won’t have to talk about breaking through any glass ceiling because there won’t be one: men and women will have all access to the rooftop terrace of equal opportunity.” Editor of The Nightly, Sarah-Jane Tasker, said: “We need to constantly be pushing forward so it becomes the norm that women are economically empowered; it should be a given. It not only provides them the ownership to set the course of their own destiny, but it can also lift national economies and increase productivity and have real outcomes more broadly.” For more information, please contact: Andrew Knowles M: 0449 510 357 E: andrew@skmediagroup.com.au Neil Shoebridge M: 0417 511 012 E: neil@skmediagroup.com.au About Seven West Media Seven West Media (ASX: SWM) is one of Australia’s most prominent media companies, reaching more than 19 million people a month with a market-leading presence in content production across broadcast television, publishing and digital.

Aliyyah Koloc finishes Abu Dhabu Desert Challenge in excellent 7th place at her first attempt in the Ultimate category
The Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge has once more lived up to its name. After five difficult days of what was only her second participation in this testing off-road rally, and her first in the highest class, Aliyyah Koloc finished in an excellent 7th position in the Ultimate category and 13th amongst the registered FIA World Rally-Raid Championship runners. Her best stage result was 8th on the last day, competing against the heavyweights of off-road rallying like Nasser Al-Attiyah, Seth Quintero, or Martin Prokop along the way. Being the only competitor in the Ultimate class without a turbo-driven engine and without the technical issues she faced, Aliyyah would certainly have been able to classify even higher, but she is happy with her result. “We finally finished the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge. It was a really long five days with some very dangerous dunes, so I am happy to be at the finish safe and sound. The final stage was pretty enjoyable, the last 100 km literally flew by. I enjoyed it a lot, and we finished in a good position, so I am happy.” Her navigator, experienced Frenchman Sébastien Delauney, summarized Aliyyah’s performance after the rally: “Aliyyah loves fast tracks, so she enjoyed the last day particularly. We are happy with the overall result as it was a very difficult rally. During the week, Aliyyah improved every day. In the beginning, she passed the dunes straight, but in the end, she used the car properly to slow down before the top. We focused on a safe race, and we didn’t have a lot of issues which is key in Abu Dhabi. Overall, it was a great race.” Aliyyah Koloc, the 19-year-old Dubai-born driver racing for Buggyra ZM Racing, was prepared for a difficult rally right from the start. “I expect it to be difficult, it was one of the hardest races I did last year. It is a tricky race, and it will be even trickier in the new car. It is important to be careful and safe because it is hard to read the dunes. The T1+ has more power and is heavier, so that adds some challenges. Also, the dunes are very difficult, with a lot of broken dunes where it is easy to get stuck.” Big, white dunes that make it hard to see and a lot of soft sand that makes it easy to get stuck in added to the challenges that Aliyyah and Sébastien faced. “Day 3 was quite good in the end. The stage was very tricky due to the rain yesterday. The sand was very, very soft. A lot of dunes with a lot of camber, so you had to anticipate your trajectory. But we did it. We never got stopped, we just landed on the nose for a moment and had to remove some plastic before continuing,” Sébastien explained some of the difficulties the duo faced. Aliyyah added: “Day 4 was a long day. We made a lot of mistakes, driver mistakes, navigation mistakes… It was difficult in the dunes, and we got stuck one time. We had to change the wheel once and the jack wasn’t working. It was quite tricky. Some dunes were really white, so it was difficult to see.” Martin Koloc, Buggyra ZM Racing’s CEO and team principal said at the finish: “The Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge has been an incredible race. So hard. It is difficult to compare but at the Dakar, we had two hard days at the Empty Quarter. At the Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge, we had five consecutive days in the harshest possible desert conditions you can imagine, but we handled it well. The whole team is working tremendously well. Aliyyah has been progressing at each stage; she got better and better even though it is massively demanding for the drivers to keep focused each day for four hours or more. A lot of top drivers abandoned here which is just endorsing Aliyyah’s qualities and her race development. It was really hard, but we did well.” For the next event, Aliyyah will switch back to endurance racing, with the 12h of Mugello, round 1 of the 24h Series, from March 22 – 24, making her quite a unique racer, combining such different series as off-road and endurance racing. https://www.facebook.com/BUGGYRA https://twitter.com/buggyra_racing https://www.linkedin.com/company/buggyra-racing https://www.instagram.com/buggyra_racing/ https://www.tiktok.com/@buggyra

Seven’s stars get behind free sport
The stars of Seven Network have come together in a new campaign calling on the Federal Government to amend its proposed changes to the anti-siphoning regime to protect Australians’ access to free sport content across broadcast and digital technologies. The “We are Aussies, of course I want free sport” campaign launches today and is running across all major social media platforms. It highlights that the current Bill before parliament only protects Australians’ access to free sport via broadcast TV but not if they watch TV through the internet via an app like 7plus. Seven’s campaign supports the broader industry campaign from industry group Free TV Australia that is seeking some important changes to the prominence and anti-siphoning Bill to stop free TV content from disappearing behind paywalls. Created by Seven’s in-house creative agency Red Engine, Seven’s campaign includes Bruce McAvaney, Ricky Ponting, Justin Langer, Matthew Richardson, Abbey Holmes, Mel McLaughlin, Matt Evans, Jason Richardson, Juliet Godwin, Emma Freedman and Mark Beretta. Australia’s pre-eminent sports broadcaster, Bruce McAvaney, said: “Australians shouldn't be denied access to free sport just because they don’t have an aerial. If you want to stream sport over the internet, the anti-siphoning scheme should ensure internet delivered sport is also free.” Seven West Media Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, James Warburton, said: “Seven supports most parts of the Communications Legislation Amendment (Prominence and Anti-Siphoning) Bill 2023, but there is a major omission from the Bill. “It only guarantees free sport content for Australians that have an aerial. It does not guarantee people will get free sport if they choose to stream it over the internet or don’t have an aerial. No aerial means no guarantee that Australians will have access to free sport in the future. “As the Bill is drafted now, there is nothing stopping Amazon, Kayo, Prime and Netflix from buying all the digital rights to Australians’ favourite sports and making them pay if they want to stream sport over the internet,” he said. “The Albanese Government needs to amend the Bill to include the free digital stream alongside the free broadcast stream so that all Australians can access free sport, regardless of whether they have a TV aerial or not.” Please click here to watch the campaign.
