Browsing Kickstarter, I came across a wonderful gem of a card game: Draco Magi. The appeal – obviously – where the fantastic dragons that give the game its name. I had a look at the game-play video, which looked equally exciting. Long story short, I wanted to know more. So I sent the Robert Burke, […]
Wow. Beyond the Gates of Antares was silent for a year, but now things are coming blow upon blow. First we’ve seen some painted, finished Boromites. Now, Warlord Games previews renders for the Algoryn Faction (which I don’t remember from the Kickstarter). The Boromites had a kind of retro-charm, but the Algoryns … they are […]
Mantic Games’ second Kickstarter for DreadBall, specifically the gritty and Xtreme Season 4 of DreadBall, is (presumably) creeping ever closer. A little teaser-picture of one of the teams, the Convicts (possibly just the temporary internet title) have appeared online. #1 – The Convicts The guy (presumably guard?) in the back is a bit strange. I […]
A short review from the non-miniature side of gaming! SOS Titanic is a game that ended up in my house on Christmas. It’s a more-or-less patience (or solitaire in the US) based card game with a few twists and – obviously – a Titanic-theme to it.

The implications seem obvious, but so far, nobody has truly cracked the secret of making 3D-printed tabletop miniatures fly for a […]

Now, things are on the move again, with a small DreadBall expansion at the end of this month and a second DreadBall Kickstarter a month or two after that. #1- DreadBall Galactic […]
People say there’s rarely every anything truly new in gaming on Kickstarter these days. Well… occasionally there are still new ideas. Dustcloud is clearly one of them. It’s not a miniatures game, but a game to play cops & robbers assassins in the great, wild “real-life” outdoors…. with smart-guns and blue-tooth connection. Have a look! […]
Gamezone’s Fantasy dungeon-crawler board-game, riding on the old Heroquest brand-name, unlocked several hundred thousand dollars on Kickstarter before being shut down. Ever since, they’ve been chasing opportunities to get back on a crowd-funding platform. On the other end, Twelve Elements of War, with a freshly developed fantasy game, great concept art and promising miniatures has […]
Aaaand it’s back. GamesZone is back with their Heroquest 25th Anniversary Edition on the Spanish crowd-funding platform Lanzanons. #1 – Third Time Lucky? In case you don’t know what I am talking about, here’s a little summary of the story so far. Spanish miniature-making company GameZone have (it seems) secured the (Spanish?) rights to the […]
