Guild Ball – Interview with Mat Hart

Zweischneid — Tue, 25 Feb 2014 21:06:59 +0000

Guild Ball came – seemingly – out of nowhere to enter the crowded field of miniature sports games with a bang. The Guild Ball Facebook page appeared a while ago, with lots of fantastic artwork and in-depth posts about designing a the world and the game of a Tabletop Medieval Football Game. Than, last week, the […]

Interview: Robert Burke on Draco Magi

Zweischneid — Sun, 02 Feb 2014 07:44:01 +0000

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, […]

Interview – James Hewitt Talks DreadBall Ultimate

Zweischneid — Mon, 16 Sep 2013 15:43:19 +0000

News about the latest version of DreadBall – DreadBall Ultimate – has been everywhere. I looked at the new Season 3 DreadBall teams before (I am still not sure which one I should paint; though Nameless with all those tentacles are my current favourite). The bigger (!) addition to the game are clearly the DreadBall GIANTS (only […]

Miniature Bids – An Interview with Gavin from Tor Gaming

Zweischneid — Mon, 09 Sep 2013 14:35:55 +0000

There is a new auction site for used miniatures, wargames and all other hobby-related things in the making: www.miniaturebids.com. Miniature Bids will offer a much more affordable alternative to eBay to buy and sell used miniatures and games. Given the ever-growing prices of eBay (where I sold my share of used stuff), this certainly piqued […]

Carnevale on Kickstarter – Interview & Artwork Preview

Zweischneid — Wed, 14 Aug 2013 12:06:27 +0000

Carnevale is a miniature game set in Venice at the eve of the 18th Century, albeit a Venice beset by cthulhu-esque horrors and other supernatural monstrosities. The game is made by Vesper-On Games, a Barcelona-based miniatures company. Carnevale made a huge splash in the 18-or-so months since its release, both for the absolutely gorgeous miniatures […]

Interview with the Makers of Zombie Pin-Up Poker Cards

Zweischneid — Tue, 06 Aug 2013 08:51:02 +0000

Time for some light-hearted and morbid fun. Not every Kickstarter needs a hundred quid or more to get you a new game. Sometimes Kickstarter is a great place just to pick up some fun things that break the mould. Some unique dice perhaps. Or Zombie-Pin-Up-themed Poker Cards! Seeing the latter on Kickstarter at the moment […]

Interview – Maki Games Modular Wargaming Terrain

Zweischneid — Tue, 28 May 2013 07:55:16 +0000

It has been a while since my last interview. However, there is an interesting new project currently on Kickstarter: Maki Games’ Modular Wargaming Scenery. The concept is brilliantly simple. Using a deceptively modelst core-module of a container – or Makitainer as they call it – a stunning range of wargaming scenery and terrain can be […]

Zweischneid — Mon, 06 May 2013 16:38:35 +0000

Mantic Games are now running a Kickstarter for their Sci-Fi Miniatures Board Game Deadzone. Deadzone is Mantic Games’ fourth game on Kickstarter and, judging by its popularity so far, their most successful one yet. Like the fantastic DreadBall (which I hope to play next week at Mantic’s Open Day), Deadzone was designed – or better, is […]

Interview – Ghosts of Hefei

Zweischneid — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 16:05:24 +0000

Among the great things Kickstarter brought to the miniatures wargaming niche, besides lots of interesting new miniatures, are the wealth of interesting game ideas the crowd-funding platform has helped bring to market. Some of the highest-grossing tabletop Kickstarters have been co-operative miniatures games, a genre that – a few years ago – would’ve been considered […]
