Lucky you. I just got Tokaido Collector's Edition yesterday, 18 months late. I paid for it in March 2014.

Wow, I saw a Collectors Edition in Orc's Nest in That London a few months ago.

Seems someone saw the Game Canopy and liked it. So they made their own, and is going to provide the plans for free.

Nice! I use a padded printer bag I got from work. It's perfectly shaped for 4-5 boxes high and space down the side for smaller ones.

I saw these guys demonstrating it live and it looks like a good time. I'm on the fence about backing right this minute because I'm a bit poor but �50 seems a good price.

A stretch goal add-on should be a 9 x 6 foot board, and long sticks.

It gave us Tucker's Law: "If some oval office can gently caress something up, that oval office will pick the worst possible time to loving gently caress up because that oval office's a oval office."

In the most recent Fog of Love update the makers of the game are reaching out to the LGBT community for story cards or issues focusing on LGBT themes (item 7 in the update). So, you know, if that's you and you're interested...

Games that have caught my eye!

Status Report! - a social deduction game about guessing which of the other players is an AI bent on Killing All Humans. Not yet funded.

Dark is the Night - a fun-looking, quick, 2 player hidden movement game. I'm a sucker for hidden movement games, and this is right up my alley. Not yet funded, but close.

Khan of Khans - reprint (I think?) of Reiner Knizia's family 2-5 player game. Funded with stretch goals unlocked.

Tao Long - dragon tile placement game, based on the I-Ching and elements. Rules have me slightly glazing over, but I'm sure that's more on me than the game. Funded, with stretch goals unlocked.

Sub Terra AKA The Descent: The Game - Co-op survival horror game that's already funded many times over with loads of unlocked stretch goals. Core edition is a decent price, but the leap to the next bracket with expansions is a bit much. Also, shipping isn't great, even if you live in the same city it's being made. :argh:

Two Rooms and a Boom: Necroboomicon - The much beloved 2R&aB's first expansion, and it has Lovecraftian themes! If you own the base game already, this is only $5! If you don't, the combined pledge makes the expansion only $2!

SUPERHOT - The Card Game - Uh, ok? It's already funded, it's small and it's cheap.

Tortuga 1667 - Did I do this one before? Either way, this looks great (fake book box!) and pirates!

A quick browse on KS right now reveals these gems:

Stop, Collaborate, and Listen - an inane card game about asking your friends dull questions.

Chardonnay Go - does your mother like getting drunk on wine? This is the game for her!

The Great Wall of Mexico - jesus gently caress

Sing What? - the details about what this is are so slim, I have no clue.

Can't anyone tell these poor sods that they shouldn't even bother launching the KS? They're never going to get funded unless the goal is like $10.

I've had a bit of a look, and surprisingly, the only air cargo island hopping game I can find is called Air Charter, and it's from ~1970. You'd have thought that was a theme rife for exploitation.

So it looks like Sigil - Powers of War isn't going to make it. They're going to be doing a lot of retooling (hiring Gloomhaven's graphic design team to do new layouts, faction specific player boards, etc.) and will relaunch eventually.
