Fans can look forward to new crowdfunding projects in the field of board games this week. If it was comparatively quiet in the past two weeks, there is now a little more choice. Some top-class titles that might be worth keeping an eye out for include: Dice Theme Park from Alley Cat Games, for example, and thus a title that transports the dice placement from the hospital to an amusement park.
There wasn't really much going on in the last two weeks, at least in terms of the number of crowdfunding projects launched. The “swarm” was more or less able to take a little breather – unless they agreed to support the million-dollar project Monster Hunter World: The Board Game, which has now reached the three million euro mark Kickstarter could crack. Also Warchief Gaming's auroboros will continue to be supported, but the pace of the pen-and-paper game has slowed significantly. The start of another tabletop miniature skirmish game is likely to have gone under the radar many times this week: Outlaw gangs. The project from the hands of a small team has got off to a good start and focuses on a comparatively unspent topic: biker gangs.
The spotlight this week is the theme park dice placement "Dice Theme Park" by Alles Cat Games, which is not least due to the good predecessor.
SPOTLIGHT: Dice Theme Park
Dice Hospital is followed by a strategic board game, Dice Theme Park, in which the diceplacement is simply moved from a hospital to an amusement park. This time behind the game are Daryl Andrews (Sagrada, Bosk) and Adrian Adamescu (Sagrada, Titanic). Above all, the collaboration already at Sagrada allows the conclusion that Dice Theme Park could also become a top-class board game.
One to four players manipulate dice against a colorful backdrop in this somewhat more complex game. The basic idea remains the same: players use their dice to trigger actions. However, the authors build a new trick that allows combos. Because the dice can now "wander" over the adjacent attractions, renewed activations and thus multi-level chains can be triggered. A second challenge is hand card management, since the cards available in the active round vary.
The The crowdfunding campaign for Dice Theme Park has already started and - hardly surprisingly - already exceeded the targeted financing target of around 17.000 euros. More than 80.000 supporters have already poured almost 1.250 euros into the Kickstarter project. But this campaign will probably not be a rollercoaster ride: due to the good predecessor, Dice Theme Park should only know one direction. Fans have until May 21 to vote for or against a pledge. The cheapest version is around 45 euros, the deluxe version costs the equivalent of 67 euros. If you want, you can secure the comprehensive "Dice X" bundle - which then costs just under 185 euros - at no additional cost.
