Zanzibar Ham posted:I'm in a group buy for it. It's by the makers of Trickerion, which I hear was good. But I'm having a few second thoughts, mostly because I'm really cutting it close with my budget. Sort of in the same boat with a budget.. Mojo Jojo posted:If I wasn't buying a house I would have backed it. I'm concerned this game will have the same issues, but it looks so nice. Also considering Sol, which will probably not have a retail version, and This war of mine, which might be a better video game.

signalnoise posted:It's so easy to want a game and want to play it and not want to play it 2 years or whatever later. Crazy, right!? I was willing to pony out the cash for what I knew to be a light game, but I was sold as a beautiful but light game and I was ok with that. 2 years later QC issues and the publishers ability to communicate honestly have ruined the game for me.

HitTheTargets posted:As an American, I think there should be a version of the minis with giant fuckoff guns. AR-16s, Desert Eagle Mark XIXs, Thompson M1928s, and of course M60 GPMGs. As man who likes titties and guns I concur, but it's an M-16 or AR-15

Hitlers Gay Secret posted:Sagrada looks like an interesting game involving dice and pattern matching. Already funded with $44,557 of the $24,000 goal. 24 days to go, so there's plenty of time to give it a look-over. I'm likely hitting this one too, it looks perfect for my wife and I. I do wish the dice were a little larger and the price a bit cheaper.

Failed Kickstarter drama deserves it own A&E show as they appear to be filled with social rejects, deadlines, poor business decisions, and of course demanding customers. The AvP thread on Reddit is full of people who got screwed by a company that delivered to retail and now want the backers to pay a higher price. For me the issue is that many of those games never make it to retail. Scythe has me changing my mind on Kickstarter. have backed a dozen or so projects, but skipped scythe thinking I would pick it up later. Now I cannot force myself to buy the lesser quality game or pay the $200 price it would take to buy the game with all nice components.

Xelkelvos posted:A crowdfunding show on CNBC or Discovery or History seems super appropriate. Mix in some success stories with stories of failure or drama with either result and it'd be golden. Hell, I'm sure all of the tech and product Kickstarters would be enough to generate their own show as they're full of their own fresh hell. We have had motorcycle, car, fashion, cake, we almost deserve a nerd show full of melt downs and ruined friendships. Worst of all it wouldn't have to be scripted.

Agent Rush posted:Would it be good for people who've never heard of worker placement, or is there a better game for introducing that concept? It's cheap enough and a beautiful looking game, why not try it. Stone Age is also a nice worker placement game and it's available now. But you should ask the resident experts in the board game thread.

TacoNight posted:One Deck Dungeon is kickstarting their first expansion, Forest of Shadows. I'm a big fan of the original game, which is a lightweight cooperative dungeon crawler. It achieves its goals quite well using only cards + dice, as you have the feeling of getting more powerful as you explore a randomly generated, increasingly tough dungeon. There are some interesting choices to be made: fight or run away from an encounter as well as your choice of loot vs exp vs skills gained for finishing an encounter, though it is not incredibly deep. Kind of neat looking and maybe more accessible that LOTR LCG?

Evil Mastermind posted:Much more. The main thing to bear in mind, though, is that it's designed to be hard. As in winning is...not something that happens every time. There are optional "leveling" rules in the core set to help you improve your character, though. Looks cheap enough to get the full set in paper, though I wonder if by plastic cards they mean the same style as plastic poker cards. TacoNight posted:It is also easy to adjust the difficulty without trivializing the game by starting with exp or items. This is useful since I play with my five year old, whose strategy is "all pink dice" I have a ten year old I play with now and then so it's probably perfect.

Doctor Spaceman posted:It looks good, but for me it falls squarely in the "wait til retail" category because I've spent a bunch on boardgame kickstarters this year and there's nothing incredibly compelling about backing this as opposed to waiting. It does look like their other games are readily available on the web. I enjoy Energy Empire which is why I was considering backing.
