Giochi just launched the campaign for Vital Lacerda's CO2: Second Chance. Can't link via my phone, but it should be accessible through their site.

Well that kills Gentes for me, I have wanted CO2 forever. Now I know how everyone feels when an American game gets backed. 15 euro shipping....

I guess I like being crushed by cardboard I back Neanderthal at the last minute.

CO2 is saved but the shipping is a killer, what are the odds it will be available at Boardgame Needz, CSI, or Miniature Market?

It appears like they plan to have the game itself available at retail but there are a number of stretch goal items, including "expansions" (unclear what scope these have), that are marked as limited content. Not limited to the Kickstarter, specifically, and they haven't clarified precisely what that means yet, but you might well miss out on that stuff. Note that the shipping will be charged separately from the KS pledge and there will be a post-project pledge manager, if that helps.

I will wait and see how they clarify the limited content and if they address the shipping costs. The problem isn’t that I cannot afford the game, it’s that the shipping feels, sounds, or is unreasonable.

It's a lot, but shipping is kind of terrible in general in my experience. Just checking my Evil High Priest pledge, they ended up charging $25 in shipping. 7th Continent was $18.50. Darkest Night was $19. I don't think CO2's 15 euro is terribly out of line with that.

Amazon ruined me...

Aeon's End: Legacy looks really good. The base game is well received, and... there's mystery boxes. I'll cop to being a total sucker for mystery boxes. They're also selling "full reset" packs, which I like, even if I probably won't use.

I'm not sure about its "Kickstarter Value" proposition on this, but I'm excited for the game.

I have been debating this one myself. I do wonder if its the best introduction to the game? I know that if we like it I will want to pony up for everything which appears to a few hundred bucks..

To fair it could just be me or Rhado video but it appears to be nothing more than a really long fancy hand management game, with a lot of extra stuff piled on to pull in more backers.

On the other hand the Dice Throne game appears to be a game my wife and I would enjoy so maybe I will toss them some cash.

Looks like Spirit Island digital extended its campaign, but cut out some of the major stretch goals, including online multiplayer and Branch and Claw. I'm kinda meh on it now. Seems like they should just launch a KS, as lovely as that is to say.

They should lower the price, $20 is to high for a digital product.

homullus posted:

does it ... does it hurt to be this wrong?

Not at all, let me rephrase.

In this case I feel like $20 is to high for me to pay for a digital product that will eventually be abandoned. I have the physical copy of spirit island and consider it to be one of the best purchases I have made gaming wise.

I do own Civ and all the expansions on the iPad but that is not a game the ports well to cardboard. Maybe I am not the target audience for the digital version of spirit island.

I backed it in the first like 10 minutes of launch. What can I say, I like dice? We're even giving custom dice as wedding favors at my wedding next spring.

edit: to be fair, most of my dice have a special meaning to me. They are a reminder of a special event or memories of a beloved convention or game or something. My mother also sells dice on ebay so I partially picked these up to see if it would be something worth her carrying (not like there is any chance she is going to get any at this point).

Can you share the details / photo of your custom dice?

Sure, though the only thing custom about them is one of the sides. We are getting 2 done. The first is a 16mm D6, this is the final sample:



The 2nd is a 34mm D20. This is the first sample, we need to fix the vector image so it looks more crisp (the sample was also done on a factory reject so the die looks a little wonky). Also the inking will be in red, not the white shown here:

The piece that's sitting on top wasn't cleaned, so that's why its not sitting right.

Terraforming Mars is an incredibly good game and if anyone doesn't own it, this is a great time to fix that problem.

Tokyo Metro is a favorite of mine, your opinions on cloth maps may vary, I usually just weigh down the corners to hold it taut. It's a cheerfully cutthroat little game, with managing liquid funds being really really REALLY important. It also honestly plays well as a solo score challenge-the slightly random deck setup means each game has slightly different actions available at different times.

Tsukiji Market hasn't made it to my table yet, I have to try to get a group of heavy economic game fans together for it, and that's s kinda hard under pandemic conditions...but it seems solid and I've watched a couple of YouTubers play it.

Overall I really love all of Jordan's work, and any campaign of his is an instant-back for me.

Which expansion, along with the base game, would you suggest to someone who was interested in this get?

Good for two players?

Ropes4u
May 2, 2009

jivjov posted:

Metro plays well at 2, my wife and I have gotten mileage out of it that way, so Metro base game plus its expansion would give you a lot of game. Per Jordan, the expansion map and action cards make the game a little quicker and a little tighter (and the base game is already pretty well tuned) so there's some variability in setup. And from what I understand, you can play either map with either action card set, so there's 4 different setup options (Tokyo normal, Osaka normal, Tokyo w/new actions, Osaka w/old actions).

Osaka Metro can also technically be played as a standalone if you proxy in the player markers and stations (and track money on paper or something?), so that'd be a budget way to play the game without getting both boxes.

Thank you I will watch a few play throughs

I decided to pledge to get a spot in line, and can always pull it later.

I tried to pledge for May 2021, about 5 minutes after they launched. That failed, because the tier filled up while KS was processing my pledge. Then I tried to pledge for July 2021. Same thing happened again. Finally got a spot in the October wave.

It's over $4 million already.

Wonder how many disappointments $4,000,000 buys?
