Denied from an institution he seriously wanted to get into, Andy’s creative and innovative mind directs him into the creation of CRYPTO CARTEL, a perfect tabletop game that practices strategy.
Today’s episode of the Knucklehead Podcast is a comeback interview with Andy Mazeika. From a budding entrepreneur, his product is now labeled as Amazon’s Choice and setting up a great avenue for family entertainment. His entrepreneurial spirit leads him not only in the genesis of the Crypto Cartel Card Game but also looking to get Crypto Cartel Comic Series with comic book artist Manuel Martinez.

CRYPTO CARTEL is a Card Game where players must establish resources in order to exchange them for Cryptocurrency -- or Crypto.

Enjoy!
Favorite Quote:
“This is why I did this game ultimately, to begin with, is because I didn’t get into USC. I applied twice, didn’t get in. One of the things I’ve learned along the way if you want to create something, you really need that entrepreneurial spirit, to build something, to get things together, to keep it going, cause you want it to be self-sustaining.”
