We'll continue with new board games in March Kickstarter. Promising titles are also launching this week – or have already launched. There are no real top-class performers in the ninth calendar week, but it's still worth taking a look at the rock-solid line-up. Publishers AEG, Alley Cat Games and LudiCreations, among others, are crowdfunding board games.
Well-known publishers are throwing their projects into the running again this week, but this time too, self-publishers are starting a Kickstarter campaign. Because this corresponds to the original idea of crowdfunding, you should take a particularly close look at this campaign in order to be able to decide on support. While some
SPOTLIGHT: Eternal Palace
Alley Cat Games, which most recently crowdfunded Martin Wallace' Tinners' Tail and generated around XNUMX times the campaign's target amount, now continues with Eternal Palace, a dice-placement board game in which players create an imperial to build a palace. That doesn't sound particularly unique at first, the basic idea has already been implemented in one or the other version - but Eternal Palace could be one of the good representatives of the genre, not least visually.
With the idea of author Steven Aramini (also Sprawlopolis or Animal Kingdoms), players control the fortunes of a noble family that has committed itself to the emperor. A palace has to be rebuilt in order to gain favor with the ruler.
The basic idea is known: players collect resources and build up the components of the palace area step by step. It's a classic dice placement. Players roll the dice and then place the dice as workers on the game board. Ultimately, various tactical tricks can be used on several levels in order to act as efficiently as possible - this also applies to some extent in synergy with opposing moves. The goal: to please the emperor and win the game.
