    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.

    There are specific rules for a solo play, as you dont have the mystery of who is performing what actions each turn. Basically it makes the game a little stronger, beefing up enemies a bit.

    Just roll up 3 of the 6 starter characters and play away, you can actually run multiple parties within one campaign system (just roll up new characters from the leftover starters or use any unlocked ones). Not sure how it works for scenario selection, though you can play any standalone without the connections or extras from the story driven "campaign" ones. Plus there is a deck of cards to generate random dungeons if you want to play a one off game.

    Now we have "City of Kings"as well.I've been playing gloomhaven with someone else's copy ,so I might go for Kings for myself.

    Looks like May will be a bumper month for kickstarter ,with a ton of great games coming out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 372 ✭✭JD1763


    There's serious kickstart overload at the minute and the previews up to June show its only going to get worse! Currently in for Hardback, Brass, Rise to Nobility, Gloomhaven and City of Kings. Zombicide Green Horde at the end of May is a guaranteed one for me as well since I love Black Plague and while it is questionable at this stage to still be KSing given their success, CMON to be fair tend to give a lot of content on their kickstarters.

    At this stage, I'm just glad I stayed out of Kingdom Death so I have the funds!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,014 ✭✭✭Paddy Samurai


    Zombicide Green Hoard +1

    Heroes of Land ,Sea and Air looks great as well.

    Kickstarter may preview below......



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,230 ✭✭✭Greg81


    Not confirmed yet but there is a big chance it will appear on kickstarter.

    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 :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,014 ✭✭✭Paddy Samurai


    I also backed Clans of Caledonia. Its a mix of Terra Mystica and the Voyages of Marco polo.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 372 ✭✭JD1763


    Finding it hard to resist clans but its competing with Hannibal...

    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! :)

    I went in, still debating whether to keep the pledge but I probably will at this stage. Have The 7th Continent arriving soon hopefully.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,014 ✭✭✭Paddy Samurai


    Decided to back this one ,as I was a big JRPG fan.I Played most of the final fantasy games and a few others way back when.



    Still 5 Days to go if anyone is interested.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,695 ✭✭✭DinoRex


    The Deadly Premonition game is looking good.

    https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/615312068/deadly-premonition-the-board-game

    Love the video game, so looking forward to this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,067 ✭✭✭Gunmonkey


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,230 ✭✭✭Greg81


    Lords of Hellas are live, founded and gathering more and more money. Pledge in first 24h and you will get Leonidas for free.

    https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/awakenrealms/lords-of-hellas


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 372 ✭✭JD1763


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,499 ✭✭✭Sabre0001


    My latest kickstarter arrivals. Was hoping superhot would arrive but no joy.

    🤪



  • Registered Users Posts: 114 ✭✭Apollinaris


    Backed both Green Horde and Lords of Hellas. The miniatures look real nice in LoH. Broke now, but hopefully will be happy in a few months!

    Anyone backed & received The 7th Continent yet?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,147 ✭✭✭mise


    Backed Flash Point at the highest tier. Biggest KS pledge yet for me. Pretty safe bet i think tho


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,067 ✭✭✭Gunmonkey


    Oh...oh how this dread site makes off with all my money. Have about 4 games pledge managers closing within a week of each other....people still pay for blood/organs/bone marrow right?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 372 ✭✭JD1763


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,695 ✭✭✭DinoRex


    There's a Resident Evil 2 game by the guys who did the Dark Souls one. Have heard very mixed reports about the Dark Souls game though.

    Re:Dark Souls
    Has some amazing miniatures ,but seems to be a lot of dying ,repeating levels and grinding to level up.A lot like the video game apparently.Seems that people love it or hate it ,no in between. One of the mates got rid of it after a couple of play throughs. I hear if you liked the video game you should like the boardgame.

    I will probably be all in for this one.:D



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,067 ✭✭✭Gunmonkey


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,695 ✭✭✭DinoRex


    That's a lot of plastic for that price.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,230 ✭✭✭Greg81


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,014 ✭✭✭Paddy Samurai


    I ended up backing this as anything samurai/ninja and I'm in. ;)

    Yeah me too.I think it should be delivered in the next two weeks............Hopefully:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,014 ✭✭✭Paddy Samurai


    There's some good ones on the way before the month end. I will be watching the Batman by Monolith ,and Nemesis by Awaken Realms.

    https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/167355/nemesis

    Western Legends by Kolossal also looks interesting.

    https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/232405/western-legends

    As does Rambo by Everything epic games.

    https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/226506/rambo-board-game

    Too many games.....not enough time.......or money :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,014 ✭✭✭Paddy Samurai


    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.:confused:

    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 :)

    mine was delivered on Friday - it's soooooo good. Fantastic quality, got a couple of short intro games in and it plays really well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,433 ✭✭✭NomadicGray


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


  • Registered Users Posts: 114 ✭✭Apollinaris


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 272 ✭✭Twigster

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,230 ✭✭✭Greg81


    Did anyone here backed Lords of Hellas? I will be trying it on Friday night and would like to hear any feedback before if anyone played it.

    I got Rising Sun since, also backed ZGH and the core box has arrived too! Happy days!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 272 ✭✭Twigster

    Still waiting, game night tomorrow so probably next week before I get to play.

    Also backed Tiny Epic Zombies last night, looks like fun.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,585 ✭✭✭brevity


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,067 ✭✭✭Gunmonkey


    Got update that Street Masters done and on the boat from China. Cant wait, looking to be a great game.

    Roll on March/April.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5 byproduct


    Star Realms Frontiers should be arriving March/April. It's been delayed a few times so they can refine the cards but at least they've been keeping everyone in the loop.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 272 ✭✭Twigster


    Anyone banking Deadwood 1876? Looks ok, but was thinking of picking up Tortuga recently but can get it as an add on and works out fairly good value, including postage probably works out about 15-18 euro. Can also pick up their first game Salem, but not too sure on that one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,474 ✭✭✭Niska


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

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

    Did anyone here pledged on 7th Continent? Did you got an email with the tracking number? Is it active?


  • Registered Users Posts: 50 ✭✭Kensei


    Can anyone tell me if it's allowed to post links to campaigns? Charter link for that is dead, and 404 isn't very helpful when it comes to rules. Mod is kinda slow at responding to my DM.
