I have no idea whether this is a good game, but man did they nail the art upgrade...  ..I'm backing it until someone tells me it's a really bad game.

jmzero posted:I have no idea whether this is a good game, but man did they nail the art upgrade... Imagine a dungeon crawling game like Descent where rather than rolling dice, looking at stats, and moving across a grid, you instead take aim and send your barbarian flying across the board to slam into the skeleton archer. Each player character and monster disc has their own little special abilities. If this sounds too silly or childish to you, you probably won't be into it, but if the concept sounds cool I don't think you'll be disappointed (assuming they don't gently caress up the kickstarter royally, but they have experience publishing the game and three expansions in the past so I'm pretty confident they won't.) I'm trying not to sound like a total shill here but it's one of my favorite games, even with the butt-ugly original art. Shut Up & Sit Down (among others) liked it too.

It looks like a fun game and I know some people that'd be really into it, but it kinda irks me that it's a Canadian project and I'll have to pay extra to have it shipped to Canada.

I'd guess they're using printers based in the States and Germany, based on the shipping structure. Still blows though, yeah.

Well, if by throw you mean "pick up and throw in an arc through the air", then no, they lay on the board like hockey pucks and you flick them with your fingers, and nothing gets "knocked over" since everything is a disc. I might be misunderstanding your wording and you're thinking of Catacombs, or you might be thinking of something else with a similar gimmick and theme, like Dungeon Fighter.

The new rules look interesting, though I wonder how they will balance it out with the fact that the first spawn point lasts all of two hero activations. That centaur hero is pretty awesome either way!

There's a new fantasy coins type KS up. The coins are larger than previous sets I've seen, have high relief, and a nice artificial patina. There's a good variety of sets available, though some of the prospective ones don't seem to be up to the quality level of the one's they've prototyped (eg. the steam punk ones feel kind of obligatory rather than something they're actually interested in). Anyway, worth checking out.

Dragon Crate This one's a bit of a potluck. You get some cards, a pair of dice, a coin and a dragon mini in a box. The maker has done a bunch of card games and dice games before. I'm not sure the dimensions of that mini make it useful for anything in particular. What it has going for it is good value, assuming it funds properly.

Baron Snow posted:..and Super Dungeon Explore is up! Nothing new yet, but it's only been up for 20 minutes. The fact that their Relic Knights kickstarter is still about a year behind schedule makes me very hesitant about backing another minis project from Soda Pop, especially without any support from CMON (which despite having bland game design, is at least better about getting product out, it seems).

Peas and Rice posted:$50 for a 13-page patent document? gently caress yeah! For those considering this, note the video's fate-drenched warning: this game will alter your perception of what a board game can achieve. This is no idle boast; he's clearly done his research on exactly what board games can achieve. On his wall he has boards for: four copies of vanilla Monopoly from 2 different printings, three(!) copies of vanilla Clue, the sought-after Simpsons edition of Scene It, a middle-edition Trivial Pursuit. Life. Risk. Sorry. He also does some graphic design work on his website. Wow.

The Tokaido Collectors Edition is in its last week. The remaining stretch goals are mostly "for fun," but I expect they'll hit a few of them. Still, the major component upgrades are pretty much all done with, so pledge with confidence. The game is also a pretty great cooldown game. Simple and elegant, although I suppose not the most satisfying thing in the world if you're looking to exercise your Machiavellian wits. Edit: And on the other end of the spectrum is Barbarossa. Let's see what the people have to say Creepy BGG User posted:Porno game? It's a deck building game with scantily clad female anime characters which is the way I like it. Are the female in the nude? No. are they coupling? No. So where's the porno in that? You see bikini clad girly magazine in the shopping centers especially at check out, is that porno? I know some people may like it, like me and some may not. Thing is this section of the forum focuses on the Japanese card game with the scantily clad females. Those who don't have an interest on it can just leave. No need to be a jerk. And this is now in my browser history. poo poo, I think I'm on a list now.

It's certainly the sort of game that's aimed at an unpleasant target audience. From what I heard through the nerd rumor mill, there are Japanese TGers who are bugged that sort of stuff is coming over and making them look like a pack of gross shut-ins.
