-Northguard: Uncharted Lands
-Endless Winter
-Bardsung (late pledge, I was sold by the writers collaborating)
-Townsfolf Tussle
-ISS Vanguard (on Gamefound)
They all look promising, but time will tellā¦

As of last week with receiving my War of Whispers KS, I have nothing pending and no plans to back anything for the foreseeable future. I have plenty of games that sit unplayed, and I hope to remedy that rather than purchase more. Any expenditures will go more towards expansion content for games I already have and enjoy than new stuff.

Well, it looks like All-Aboard Games will be getting more of my money:
Iām a big fan of 1862, Mike Huttonās sequel to 1860. 1860 is often cited as the ābestā 2-player 18xx game. Itās been tragically out of print for quite some time, after ZMan published it and it did not do well. Fortunately, 18xx has had a resurgence and small publishers like All-Aboard Games is capable making a go of it.

11 to go! 
Or, 10, I suppose, since you want to be under 12.

Alternatively, for an authenic 1860s feel, go to the actual Isle of Wight.

I have rode the trains in Isle of Wight. Thereās the old Tube train that goes from Shanklin to Ryde. If Iām not wrong itās the only commercial passenger train, and it runs on the eastern side of the island.
Thereās also the cutesy touristy steam train. I forgot where it was exactly

Hmmm, the Isle of Wight, nice memoriesā¦ Is there no board game covering it specifically?

Stone Age?
Seriously though, I have been to the Isle of Wight a few times and it is quite nice there, but even in the late 80s it felt at least 30 years had passed by without any changes.

Last I was there was probably 2017 auditing a small meat processor (on a Friday of course) and the feeling is still there, the gap probably extending from 30 to 40 years behind. Which is nice.

I donāt think anyone posted the edition of Martin Wallaceās Tinnerās Trail. I hadnāt heard of it before and it doesnāt seem like anything particularly unique when there are so many options for Euros out there. But it does look very nice:
It seems fairly heavily redesigned from whatever Wallaceās original game mechanics were, though presumably retains the core experience which I think is an interesting approach.

Iāve heard uneven opinions on Tinnersā Trail and, to some degree, suspect some people like it because it was, until the last couple of years when it was reintroduced to the zeitgeist, a lesser known title from a famed designer.
Definitely one Iāll be keeping an eye out for when it hits retail.
