No, never heard of it till 3 weeks ago. A friend did and managed to play a single scenario...its damn good.

Even if you leave off the Legacy elements, it has a very good fundamental gameplay system with your action cards acting like a stamina meter and the randomness of the Initiative draw. Never felt like we were getting screwed, just bad luck and had to adapt our plans to accommodate our Brute whiffing his big attack.

Now I have never played D&D so cant comment on how the campaign system might stack up against proper RPG's. It looked good from what I saw though, prosperity of the city evolving your options and event cards unlocking new scenarios (my friends had played the tutorial mission and unlocked a

sulpher mine

before I jumped in, so it was always available for us as an option).

Def gonna back the 2nd Edt since my bro-in-law is looking to get into more tabletop stuff, the dials are a godsend as could see the health/xp tracks wearing out if you play a long time and potentially replay a class.

It sure looks good, so I backed it this time around. I actually dont know what they were thinking with the health/xp design in the first printing, glad theyre changing it to dials. I'll be playing it mostly, if not all, solo, so need to see whats the best way to go about that. But all in all it looks like a very well designed game with a serious amount of content.

Welp, €100 pledged for Gloomhaven.

Now, the inexorable wait till it releases.

Probably one of the best value for money boardgames ever IMO.I am currently playing it with my group as one of them have the first edition.It will probaly end up no 1 on BGG.

I decided not to back myself ,but I am happy to jump in if I see it been played.

I ended up backing City of Kings instead.Too many games ,not enough time

Gloomhaven looks incredible. So detailed and well thought out. Basically a very structured DnD game but I love the idea of it. Convinced the gaming group to buy it so I can't wait till August now!

Welp, KS is clawing at my bank account again.


Zombicide: Green Horde is doing millions within minutes, as to be expected. Probably just drop $5 worth onto it and bulk up nearer the end of the pledge manager.

Clash of Rage looks kinda basic (traditional territory control) but have to say....miniatures are so nice looking.

One thats beginning on Tuesday I am looking forward to is Lords of Hellas, again a territory control (with lovely miniatures) but the rules seem very nice, lots of chances to shift the balance with blessings and quests. Plus, it numerous victory conditions its not a slog fight for the the sole "defining" region or item, you can achieve victory by playing in several different ways.


Also a few more I have my eye on (but might not pledge)

Street Masters, a mix of 80's Van Damme films and Final Fight/Streets of Rage, gameplay looks good (very similar to Sentinels of the Multiverse, another game I like).

Sine Tempore, a co-op dungeon delver themed around settling and exploring a planet. Seems pretty deep with each character having unique leveling up skill trees.

Hand of Fate, based off a pretty nice game on PC/console themed around exploring a dungeon made up of cards drawn by a cardmaster...kinda circular to have a video game about cards become a card game!

Roll Player + Expansion, while it is a KS for the expansion it includes a reprint of the hard to find base game. People have raved about it, lots of sites listing it in top 10 and top 5 of 2016, its essentially a game about rolling dice to create a D&D character....or somesuch.

Was interested in Hellas until I saw the price tag of $150 plus shipping for the game and the terrain minis. Just don't think it's worth it for a game that I'm not convinced my group would enjoy.

7th Continent is up on Kickstarter and already blasting through milestones. All add-ons from the first campaign will be available as add-ons in this campaign. It's not cheap and looking to be CMON levels of outlay if you want everything. Despite the price tag, this is a definite for me as I had serious regrets at missing the first one and the game itself has had a generally positive reception. A friend has a copy and speaks very highly of it.

Can't link as I'm in work but if anyone is interested in it now is the time to jump on the hype train before it leaves the station.

Saw the Gencon pics of the dragon mini included in that...thing is HOOOOGGE, something like 50cm wingspan.

15mm tabletop isnt really my thing though.

Expansion to Space Race called Interkosmos is live now.

You can get core game as well. Only available through the Kickstarter platform. Not going to retail after that.

HATE by CMON is also due on kickstarter this month.

Way to many games this month ,it will be tough choosing which one to back.

So many games. My biggest enemy here is time. At the moment I got over 10 games i did not play yet and few of them are still sealed in the boxes. Need to work on that and free some space for new boxes

Backed Nemesis though Im not fully sure on it yet, but might take the risk.

Did anyone back Zombicide Green Horde or Rising sun here? Has anyone received their copies yet? Backers in UK started getting them.

Got a shipping number during the week for rising sun, the note on it was if it's not delivered within two weeks to get back to them but i'd expect it this week.

Backed Tiny Zombies. Seems like a fun game and was quite reasonable too.

Three days to go for Batman - Gotham City Chronicles.
Some of the minatures look amazing.

Unfortunately I don't havetime (nor money) for it...
