I had the honour of meeting games-designer-legend Alessio Cavatore at a Mantic Open Day last year, and the opportunity to interview Alessio Cavatore when his chess-variant game Loka was up on Kickstarter. Now, the game is out – since late last year I believe. Today, I came across a rather devastating review from YouTube’s (arguably) […]
The DreadBall Xtreme Kickstarter is now live! Mantic Games are gearing up for their 2nd DreadBall Kickstarter, DreadBall Xtreme. Allegedly, it will launch on February 21st and, if enough funds are raised, push DreadBall through Seasons 4 to 6 and a total of 12 new teams (4 per season). Moreoever, Mantic Games have launched a […]
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 game was the product of a (tiny, by wargaming-standards) Kickstarter last […]
How time flies! Exactly a year ago, the miniature wargaming world was in turmoil, as ex-GW’s legendary game designer had taken to Kickstarter with his vision of a sci-fi miniatures wargame – Beyond the Gates of Antares. It was an ambitious project in almost every way conceivable. An incredibly high goal of half a million GBP […]
3D Printing is rapidly becoming a far more readily available and affordable technology. For a while now, speculations and forecasts have been going around on how 3D Printing with change the tabletop wargaming world. The implications seem obvious, but so far, nobody has truly cracked the secret of making 3D-printed tabletop miniatures fly for a […]
It’s been a while since there have been official DreadBall news, given that Mantic Games has been busy with Deadzone and Mars Attacks. 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! […]
