Apex on Kickstarter https://www.boardgamenewswire.com/apex-on-kickstarter/ https://www.boardgamenewswire.com/apex-on-kickstarter/#respond Sat, 01 Jun 2024 12:06:26 +0000 https://www.boardgamenewswire.com/?p=303 Hello,
We’re happy to announce that the Kickstarter for Apex has just started.
Apex is a 2-to-6-player strategy game set in a unique and strange science fiction universe. Various civilizations vie for galactic dominance through influence, technological advancement, and warfare. But a cosmic Enemy is now forcing them to unite to save the Galaxy.
Apex’s minimalist rules and fast gameplay (30-60 min) make this 4X accessible to a casual or family audience (10+), while symmetrical mechanics and minimal randomness pose a serious challenge to seasoned strategists. Apex is accompanied by Outsiders, an expansion allowing for solo, coop, and legacy play.
Apex has been designed by Julien Vaucanson, illustrated by Veronique Meignaud, and is published by Borderline Editions.
The Kickstarter offers the game alone or with its expansion, both at a discount price and with a Kickstarter-exclusive free add-on. Apex and Outsiders both contain rules in English and French.
The campaign will last only 10 days, closing on June 10.

A fast-paced, mouth-watering game for the whole family!
“¿Cuántos Tacos?”

www.BonkaGames.com

Bonka Games, founded and created by Rachel Mayne in 2022, is excited to unveil its latest creation, ¿Cuántos Tacos?, which is set to be published through an upcoming Kickstarter funding campaign. Inspired by a passion for games and a love for tacos, Rachel Mayne embarked on a journey to create a unique gaming experience that brings together family and friends for a fast-paced, dice-chucking fiesta.

¿Cuántos Tacos? is the brainchild of Rachel Mayne, whose inspiration for the game stems from her love for tacos and the joy of playing games with her husband. Combining elements from their favorite games, Rachel embarked on the journey of designing her first game prototype. After a year of rigorous playtesting and tweaking, the final product, ¿Cuántos Tacos?, promises to deliver endless fun and excitement for players of all ages.

Described as a fast-paced, dice-chucking fiesta, ¿Cuántos Tacos? invites players to compete against each other in a race to make as many tacos as possible. With every roll of the dice, players must strategize to fulfill taco orders worth various points, keeping the game engaging and unpredictable.

In ¿Cuántos Tacos?, players take turns rolling six dice, each representing tortillas, proteins, toppings, and sauces. Players have the flexibility to keep or re-roll dice to complete their taco orders, while also utilizing bonus actions such as re-rolling or locking dice on other players’ turns. The game continues through a set number of rounds, with points awarded for completed taco orders and deducted for incomplete ones. The player with the most points at the end emerges as the winner, making every game session a thrilling competition.

Bonka Games, founded by Rachel Mayne in 2022, is a game development company dedicated to creating innovative and entertaining tabletop games for families and friends to enjoy.

Press Release: Seventh Son Publishing has launched Kickstarter for SAKE (Sorcerers, Adventures, Kings, and Economics) TTRPG Full Rulebook https://www.boardgamenewswire.com/press-release-seventh-son-publishing-has-launched-kickstarter-for-sake-sorcerers-adventures-kings-and-economics-ttrpg-full-rulebook/ https://www.boardgamenewswire.com/press-release-seventh-son-publishing-has-launched-kickstarter-for-sake-sorcerers-adventures-kings-and-economics-ttrpg-full-rulebook/#respond Tue, 09 Apr 2024 11:21:15 +0000 https://www.boardgamenewswire.com/?p=276 Press Release: Seventh Son Publishing has launched Kickstarter for SAKE (Sorcerers, Adventures, Kings, and Economics) TTRPG Full Rulebook

Kickstarter page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1710384861/sake-sorcerers-adventures-kings-and-economics-rulebook

SAKE is a fantasy roleplaying game with elements of a strategy game. In SAKE, you play the ruler of a domain, a merchant prince, a pirate lord or start as an adventurer with the goal of rising to power.

SAKE (Sorcerers, Adventures, Kings, and Economics) is the game for players who want:
• Play a pirate, adventure on the seas, trade with faraway cultures, and battle the imperial navy trying to catch you.
• Or play a warlord: build up your domain, hire armies, and construct castles to wage war against your rivals.
• Play as a sorcerer deeply interested in dangerous magic, not afraid to enter the Otherworld in search of more power.
• Or play as a priest as a sort of collector of gods, haggling with alien and fickle deities to channel their immense power.
• Campaign of building and managing a kingdom while its inner politics are in turmoil, and its powerful nature god wants the blood of its rulers.
• Campaign of trading and adventuring on the seas, with a ship as your home.

You delve into dungeons, explore pockets of the Otherworld to find treasures, make pacts with fickle gods, study dangerous magic, scheme to assassinate rivals, trade to gather resources and raise an army to fight wars.

SAKE is a full pointbuy system, which means all character development happens by buying skills and abilities using EXP gained from Your character’s personality traits and events during gameplay.

SAKE is designed to take place in an early modern (fantasy) world, with muskets and plate armour, cannons and galleys, rising capitalism and waning feudalism. With magic and gods mixed in.

The game’s rules support more serious types of campaigns, like balancing between different political interest groups when playing domain ruler, or deciding how far one is ready to go when meddling with gods or magic for power that could save their party and/or domain.

Meeple Inc coming to Gamefound! https://www.boardgamenewswire.com/meeple-inc-coming-to-gamefound/ https://www.boardgamenewswire.com/meeple-inc-coming-to-gamefound/#respond Wed, 10 Jan 2024 16:22:24 +0000 https://www.boardgamenewswire.com/?p=259 After the success of their last games, Solar 175 and Luddite, which raised over $260,000, Cogito Ergo Meeple are returning to Gamefound in March 2024 to fund the printing of their next game Meeple Inc. Meeple Inc is a Euro style worker placement game for 1 to 6 players. Meeple Inc sees you play as CEO of a board game production company using your meeples to build tiny tabletop games.

Overview

In Meeple Inc players take on the role of Board game publishers collecting the perfect mix of artwork, components and mechanisms to build the greatest board games in the world. Enter an alternate 1970’s where meeples and humans have co-existed for millennia. The mix of human ingenuity and meeple industriousness has created a new golden age of tabletop games and you are in the right place at the right time. As CEO of a board game production company, you will be assigning your meeples to jobs across the fabulous board game factory. You will be hiring specialists, crafting components and manufacturing mechanisms all in a bid to publish the most popular games, win tabletop awards and, of course, gain victory points.

Meeple Inc will be delivered with the highest quality of components people have come to expect from Cogito Ergo Meeple products. The base game will have tiny board game boxes, screen printed wooden tokens and triple layer indented miniature board game tables. These even come with their own felt linings! For those who back the Gamefound campaign, a separate deluxe box takes things even further with metal trophies, hundreds of custom wooden upgraded tokens, acrylic standees and even a full wooden board game shelving unit!

Meeple Inc is a fast paced worker placement style game which is quick to learn but offers a rich depth of experience in the gameplay. A huge design emphasis was placed on replayability. With multiple paths to victory, a wide player count and nearly 70,000 unique starting conditions, no two games will ever be the same!

Meeple Inc’s Gamefound campaign will also see the release of the Golden Pear expansion, this will add even more complexity and nuance into games of Meeple Inc. Adding further replayability and more deluxe components including metal miniature pear awards.

Lovecraftesque is live on backerkit crowdfunding! https://www.boardgamenewswire.com/lovecraftesque-is-live-on-backerkit-crowdfunding/ https://www.boardgamenewswire.com/lovecraftesque-is-live-on-backerkit-crowdfunding/#respond Wed, 11 Oct 2023 15:22:33 +0000 https://www.boardgamenewswire.com/?p=243 Hi folks

I hope you’re well. I wrote to you earlier in the year to tell you about Lovecraftesque, the classic A storytelling card game of creeping cosmic horror. We launched our crowdfunding campaign yesterday and have already smashed our funding target.

Lovecraftesque is designed to allow a small group to create a compelling horror story from scratch in a couple of hours, including the time required to teach the game. We think it will be of interest to story-curious board gamers who like the idea of imaginative play but find traditional tabletop roleplaying games offputting.

The game uses card prompts to create chilling eldritch mystery tales built from clues the players create at the table. A compelling story emerges over a single session as if by magic without any prep, planning or discussion. The first edition was critically acclaimed, won the Gioco Dell’Anno (Game Of The Year) award, and was a finalist in the IGDN indie groundbreakers. We’re crowdfunding a new second edition boxed set, building on the lessons from the first to make an even slicker, more inspiring, easier-to-learn experience, with brand new art and a plethora of exciting new scenarios for the game. While the first edition was badged as a TTRPG, the new edition is aimed at bringing on board story-curious board gamers, with a format to match.

We have a press kit here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19vbJvTNYfrxgNeR9nXTFj7fNU95BQu0xkGzQ3nwXtiM/edit?usp=sharing

Please do get in touch if you’d like to discuss further.
Best wishes

Build your faction, take down the rest in this strategic, scifi board game https://www.boardgamenewswire.com/build-your-faction-take-down-the-rest-in-this-strategic-scifi-board-game/ https://www.boardgamenewswire.com/build-your-faction-take-down-the-rest-in-this-strategic-scifi-board-game/#respond Tue, 22 Aug 2023 14:46:38 +0000 https://www.boardgamenewswire.com/?p=226 For immediate release

‘Rising Storm: The Starborne’ launches August 25

DPH Games is pleased to announce the release of its 9th board game, ‘Rising Storm: The Starborne’.

Play with 2 – 4 friends as you assume the role of a faction leader on a planet in turmoil. Four factions vie for control and you must take it. Build your faction from a draft of cards, gather assassins, diplomats, merchants, and emissaries to take out the other factions over 3 challenges.

The best part about this game is it’s easy to set up and play, making it perfect for game nights. But while it’s easy to start playing, players interested in strategy will love tinkering with the hand-building element to counter, capture, and defeat certain cards.

Summary:
-This game has space vampires (one of four factions you can choose to play as)
-It’s a card placement game where each player drafts cards to build their faction, then uses those cards to dismantle and take down their opponents
-Game takes place over 3 rounds
-Easy to set up and takes about 30 minutes to play (making it great for game night)
-Plays with 2 – 4 people
-Ages 14+
