Do people have any opinions about Word Domination? There seems to be lots of hype but it sounds a bit basic. Then again everybody loved Paperback, albeit only very briefly.

Placeholder art on the pledge graphic for the box and tiles is pretty low rent right now though, hopefully they fix that up pretty fast. I'm sure it will be an impressive box of stuff but there's no way I'll back after how unimpressive Dungeon Saga was

Jedit posted:Also catastrophic stupidity on the part of everyone who backed it. It's been less than a month since the project runners announced that the expansion comprising something like 25% of the first project's money was cancelled without refunds, then they proceeded to name every pledge level in the new project after the cancelled expansion. Nobody backing that POS is going to get what they paid for. It was cancelled with a refund

Reign is a pretty cheap and decent sounding bluffing game. The player count caps at seven which is a bit lower than most. I'm torn, maybe it will be too random? It needs more details of the cards really. At least they have confirmed the very badly written rulebook will be getting another look though

Japanese Dating Sim posted:The City of Kings started its campaign and I have to say I'm intrigued, though the entry fee's a little steep ($74 USD). It's like the board-game equivalent to a PC-RPG/MMORPG (also kinda like Heroes of M&M) which I know, sounds terrible, but in practice it at least looks pretty fun. The map tiles are really ugly and don't match the visual style at all. They look like they've been clipped out of Warcraft 2. Is it placeholder art?

GaistHeidegger posted:I backed Star Saga hoping on improvement, but our table of players thought Dungeon Saga was just dreadful and we gave up on playing it anymore after about six scenarios. Hopefully Star Saga makes substantial improvements, and hopefully those improvements can make Dungeon Saga better by proxy. Yeah I played the first couple of tutorial maps which were incredibly tedious then I looked at the full rules and was gobsmacked at how half arsed they were. That said the tiles and minis are the major expense, so they should be able to start from scratch to make something fun and sell a few decks of cards and a book

illectro posted:I've been a big fan of Star Realms, so seeing the new 'Star Realms Frontiers' kickstarter was an instant pledge for me. Unlike previous Star Realms & Colony Wars sets this offers a solitaire mode and up to 4 players, so it looks like it could be a good first set. Poor value though( at least in the uk with the $15 shipping). Judging from the current prices of their sets it's the equivalent of ~£25 of value charged at £35. The stretch goals would need to really blow up to make it worth backing now rather than waiting for retail.

I'm amazed at how the funding for Founders of Gloomhaven has ground to a halt. I was expecting it to blow up. It's the same thing with Argent which really limped along to get funded (although I think most of that was the awful shipping costs) Have we got peak boardgame kickstarter? Actually looking at the lovely GoT Game I suppose not. You just need to scoop on some plastic

Kai Tave posted:Someone with more knowledge of how Kickstarter operates help me out here, is the "we'll just make the funding goal a single dollar!" plan actually something Kickstarter allows you to do? I feel like this has been done before, I want to say the Penny Arcade guys did a KS like that at one point, but I don't know if they've closed that loophole since. Yeah Penny Arcade did it and it was in violation of the T&C's at the time. It also wasn't raising money for anything in particular. Kickstarter have a loose approach to enforcing their own guidelines. If you aren't already famous then the just setting a one dollar target won't work

Empires of the void 2 just arrived. I'm not sure there was a single Kickstarter update since the campaign finished outside of a link to give my address so it was unexpected. This also means I don't really remember what the hook was that got me to back It does have a design booklet though with some discussion around mechanics and theme and so on which is very nice

It doesn't seem to do much with the game issues, which are mostly how it promotes AP and you can get lots of downtime in 4 player games when you all want the same trick.
