A small price to play for a 16PT Double Sided Suede Laminate Coat and Embossed with SILVER FOIL -- 2-Card Set featuring VINTAGE MATURE 1903 INSPIRED NAUGHT DESIGN FANTASY SPORTS CARD depicting THE DREAD PIRATE PSYLOCKE draped in her Black & Gold as she goes up against THE SEXIEST drat VARIANT OF GEORGE WASHINGTON YOU COULD EVER WAVE A DOLLAR AT!!! --- Card #2 will be a Mature Showdown Mockup that will be determined once we know the Two Teams Competing in the 2021 World Series -- Both Faro's Lounge Fantasy sports Cards will sport THE WINNING SIDE LINEUP$ ON THE BACK SIDE and include a Digital Download of THREE FARO'S LOUNGE ORIGINAL COMICS #1S (FARO -- ZELDARA -- PIXI RUNNER) -- Comics & Cards Baby! -- You Can't Beat That.

Anyway it appears to be 25 bucks for two custom sports cards based on some Draft Kings event, featuring a bunch of porned out cheesecake by a porn cheesecake artist who writes like he thinks the world is a cigar catalog. Sounds like a lot of money but then again I have an original Sliver Queen (going for near 300 these days) and she's all the way naked on there so who am I to judge.

Yeah, basically. I wouldn't mind some of the promos in the Completionist, but there's no option to get them as addons and I went all-in last time, so I'm certainly not dropping $1100 for them. And I don't do playmats (except by accident with Middara's all-in pledge). So, even a bit less.

Steam Up: A Feast of Dim Sum - Everything about this looks great. Sit in a restaurant and try and pork out on the most dim sums. Deluxe components look amazing + 12 Zodiac meeples! :swoon: I'd probably back, but April 2023 delivery date is.... yeaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh

Worth a look
Snack Time - A Roll and Bite. You are a horrible sewer creature that eats townsfolk. :nyoron:
Caral - Designed by Klaus-Jürgen Wrede of Carcassone fame. Weird Peruvian themed Pyramid builder with some Euro themes, might be a bit dry?
Somewhere Under The Rainbow - Collect unicorn poop in a unique tile collector. Looks like a lot of fun if you have kids.
City of the Great Machine - 1 vs Many /w Hidden Movement. Which would normally be my jam, but this is a relaunch due to 'reasons' + I think Beast is way more interesting. Everything about it looks great mechanically though.
Bardwood Grove - Deck builder where you combo lyrics together before the tempo gets too quick and you ~sing for points~ Cool concept.
Reinforcements Card Game - Updated spin on the classic card game War. Builder towers of cards and attack your opponents Kingdoms. Cool art and cool concept.
Viking Raiders - Viking card battles in a tiny box. Cool art.
Grove - Cute little domino card layer where you combo trees to harvest points.
Dutch Resistance: Orange Shall Overcome - Multiplayer Maquis? Resist nazis in pick up and deliver gameplay. Great looking art.
Dreamweavers - Coop card battler where you enter peoples dreams and complete objectives as you try and get Senpai Morpheus to notice you.

Meh
Small Railroad Empires + Mini Expansion - Train nerds click here?
Senjutsu: Battle for Japan - Dudes on a very bland map
Kabula - Dudes on a fantasy map. Was looking semi-interesting until I noticed they put hashtags on cards. NOoooooooo . Dooonnnn'tttt. Miniatures are amusing in a 'so bad they're good' kinda way
Hamsters vs Hippos - Push your luck style tile flipper. Designer has a thing for Hippos?

loving Why
The Ultimate Adjustable Boardgame Backpack - Carry your games to your mates = Nice. Great looking bag = Double nice. ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY loving EUROS = :laffo: (Just go to IKEA and get some $1 or $5 bags)
Deck the Halls - A blandish Christmas themed game trying to release BEFORE Christmas and it is.. almost November. Good luck with that mate
Downtown Chase - Race to defeat Johnny Quick. Inconsistent artwork and game systems. A cool concept ruined by bloat that doesn't know what it wants to be?

I'm reading through the rules and page and I'm having trouble figuring out the flow.

Can you describe, I dunno, a couple turns?

You each have a single card that will show you what tiles you need to lay, and in what combination that has to be
On your turn you select one of the 4 tiles from the market and place it onto the board.
You then add clue cubes to that tile to show to the other players how many times the pattern on your card is linked to that tile. Might be 1 or more, might even be 0 (Because there was nothing in the market)
OTHER players then add clue cubes to that tile as well, to show that their cards have matching patterns
You must then guess at least ONE of the cards in each other the players hands, and does not necessarily have to be the current players.

If you guess correctly, you move the groups player marker up the number of spaces on that card
If you guess incorrectly, the Queen moves DOUBLE here current movement speed

You can then either:
- Guess again, if you guessed correctly
- End the round, and if the Queen hasn't moved yet she moves her current movement speed.

You then refresh the market + make sure everyone has a new card and repeat.
If you move past a White Rabbit, space the Queen will add +1 to her movement speed

Any idea how much of the art is in the base game? Words cannot describe how much I hate the character art.

All the art you are going YICK about are the modules.

The base game is just the board shown, minis, and tiles.

that Senjutsu game seems like the definitive "boring game with a boring board and cards, hoisting up the entirety of the Kickstarter with its miniatures" which is a real shame, because the miniatures look great and I wish they were just their own goddamn thing as opposed to being game pieces on a lame game. Reminds me of stuff like the street fighter miniature "board game" where it's just 2 or 3 figures on a flat featureless board.

I had a completely different reaction--I really liked the look of the other components, and I dropped a $1 pledge so I can peruse actual gameplay stuff and make a decision later -- i didn't have a chance to actually look at it much yet, is gameplay outright bad?

Probably not, but this might fall in the same realm as artists selling fan-art at a convention. They don't have a license for it, and technically they could get cease & desisted for it, but it's small scale sales, without any kind of retailer or storefront, that it wouldn't be worth the effort. But, some companies are pretty strict about nudity...

Looking at it now, it really is disgusting. The flesh is transparent. From the start, I had no idea if it would even make a clapping sound. So I diligently reproduced everything about human hands, the bones, joints, and muscles, and then made them slap each other pretty hard.
Looks like we're getting a deluxe Mothership bundle ($99 for the new corebook and all the official adventures) at some point soon. I wish I liked the system more because the modules are mostly good (or at least fun to read and look at, can't vouch for how they play).

I should really write something more for the game, my free psionics supplement got a surprising amount of downloads for a random free PDF for an indie RPG.

Night At The Tavern is a social adventure module set over 4 hours in a small tavern that's about to be completely destroyed. Lots of plotlines and relationships and fun stuff for player to get stuck into, printed on these big, heavy stock trifold pamphlets. We're also reprinting TEN MILLION HP PLANET, if you missed that last go around, it's a TTRPG about killing a planet with over the top anime bullshit.

This is 100% to pay for the printing of the thing, and I'm only gonna run it for a week or so.
Here's a preview of the first hour:

The only real villains in Dice Throne are the Mad King, the Fallen, and his hench-monsters :)

I would at this point be kinda surprised if there's more than one villain. We still can probably expect Cap and Iron Man, maybe Hulk (board flip?), and outside chance of Wolverine. But maybe Thanos or Ultron or Magneto or something?

There are a bunch of Tabletop Simulator modules of various degrees of completeness that you can try the game with if you have TTS, and Chip Theory are entirely okay with them. I'd definitely encourage doing that before committing TMB-level money. Especially shipping to Australia. Just know that the game's components are vastly nicer to play with than TTS could ever possibly replicate.

:siren: Games ending this week :siren:

3 days to go Beast - I'm putting this out on it's own, cause gently caress me I am very very excited about this one and I think people should check it out; especially if you love games like Fury of Dracula, Whitehall Mystery, and Scotland Yard. 1 Vs Many + Hidden Movement is basically my favourite type of board game; and I think there should be more Versus games out there. I think Beast could be something really special, and everything about this production looks amazing. The art in particular is a home run for how evocative it encapsulates the theme of 'slaying an ancient beast from some deep dark European moor'. Please check it out.

Quinns did a 10min preview of it this weekend of AwShux.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3obP8_1NUw

First time publisher as a caveat, but I'm getting 'Good Vibes' from how well they are communicating currently - and you can obviously tell they're enthusiastic about their game.

----------------------------------

42 hours left - Fractal: Beyond the Void - Yet Another 4X In Space
3 days to go Verdant - Same crew as Calico. Arrange house plants in your home. Looks great at a great price. I'm backing.
3 days to go Reap - Cute little grim reaper game where you combo soul harvesting.
4 days to go Don't Go In There - A push-your-luck dice roller + card collector. Really unique haunted house theme with a built in dice tower. Ghost dice + ghost meeples!
5 days to go Birdwatchers - Kiiiinnnda like Wingspan, but you're taking pictures of birds instead of collecting them. Really lovely artwork if you're a bird fan.

Somewhere Under The Rainbow got cancelled citing material costs from China continuously rising - and that they were operating on thin margins. Kinda sad as they would have seen a pretty big boost after beeing previewed in SUSD's Aw Shux show this weekend.

Senjutsu: Battle for Japan is now over a million AUD which I don't understand other than mini FOMO?

Here's all :siren: The Big poo poo :siren: launching this week, and I'll probably do another round up later once Tues/Wed hits and everything has launched.

Marvel Dice Throne - I've been continuously impressed by Roxley Games value for money and how well their KS campaigns are run. Buncha Goons seem to enjoy Dice Throne and now it's pairing up with Marvel. Will likely make a bajillion dollars. I've been trying really loving hard to cut down on my backing, but Roxley just make incredible stuff and push it out quick - so I can't wait to see what they add to this and make me cave to FOMO pressure.

Current heroes announced:
- Captain Marvel
- Black Panther
- Thor
- Spider-man (Miles Morales)
- Black Widow
- Scarlet Witch

Resident Evil: The Board Game - by Steamforged Games. Allegedly a 27hr campaign over multiple sessions. Will probably feature 10,000 minis in a Kallaxs worth of boxes. Will also make a bajillion dollars
Batman: Escape Arkham Asylum - Yet Another Batman Game. Play as villains versus Batman in a dungeon crawler. Mini FOMO will likely abound as well.
Hegemony: Lead your Class to Victory - Seen a couple of previews for this, and while I'm personally not interested I think it does a lot of really cool things and if you're into politically themed board games this one looks really solid.

Yeah Marvel Dice Throne is an instant back for me at whatever level gets me all the new poo poo. I'm impressed with the new character design.

Roxley's fomo is normally limited to:
* Swirly Dice
* A "Battle Chest" which holds all 8 characters in one box as opposed to 4 small ones
* A Promo Pack, which is just a single card per character that lets you roll a die; on a 6 you get good poo poo, on anything else you draw a new card. It can be safely ignored if you don't want to bother. Oh and artwork cards for hero randomization if you want to play like that. These are usually available at cons and whatnot, too, and will be available down the road.

Maybe there'll be more this time but I don't think they need it. It basically sells itself at this point.

The game is a lot of fun, and the production values are incredible. My kids and I have played the poo poo out of it - usually weekly duels or king of the hill matches. I would back just for the convenience of the battle box if nothing else.
