Have any of you played Circadians: First Light ? The KS for the second game in the series is up and I am wondering… my geekbuddy analysis just lets me know some reviewers liked it. I vaguely remember seeing it at Spiel and being interested but then I bought Architects of the WK that year and that was that.
Circadians was a nice game with some interesting mechanisms going for it. I gave it a shot and played a few solo games, but ultimately passed it on. Good, but didn’t have the hooks needed to stick around. The fact that my group was lukewarm about playing it due to the art didn’t help, though I happen to like the art.
(haven’t had time for more than a first glance. But it includes most of my favorite characters from the MCU)
But it seems like a fair enough offer for a big package of game:
$84 for the pledge (there is 1 level)
$20 for the shipping (to Zone 2, no customs shenanigans)
+19% VAT
( a couple of addons like sleeves, dicetray and playmats are also available)
No stretch goals, includes plans for how they plan to do retail… seeing how the setup of the Kickstarter was done, I feel like we’re going in a better direction with some of those recent ones.
Biggest gripe: those plastic hero trays. I am sure we could go with cardboard variants for this. But I guess that is more difficult to produce than plastic?
Resisting the hype for Skyrim the Board Game so far. Even though my search engine and social media logarithm seems to enjoy bombarding me with adds from it…
I read that they also put out an explanation on why they were launching another Kickstarter while they still had outstanding projects. Apparently came down to cash flow. At least it’s honest.
Some updates: I finally got Mainline Magazine by Traxx. A magazine for train gamers.
Received Keyper and Keyper at Sea. As I love Keyflower, I’m very keen on trying out the series.
I got hit by the VAT + Shipping on the Reiner Knizia’s Criminal Capers Collection. Oof. But Bitewings are small timers so I’m fine backing their project.
I backed Travis D. Hill’s Union Station Unlike Card Rails, this one is available to the UK. I’m happy to back it because I have doubts of getting this on UK retail.
I am still waiting to even preorder the German edition… the pre-order is supposed to launch in February. Which is when localisation apparently starts…
They just send an update… they are definitely one of my Kickstarters who tried to wait out the shipping crisis… but apparently they’ve given up on that and expect to be in a container “soonish”
I want my Factory Funner now!
You’re right about boardgametables… mostly. Kabuto Sumo is available in select retail places. Also, the good stuff gets localized and I get a second chance
As for that. The other day the announcement for the “no shipping, no customs issues” German edition of Distilled came in So I’ll be heading over to Spieleschmiede to back that–I skipped the kickstarter due to exorbitant shipping.
Well, I broke my cherry! My first landed Kickstarter is here. A little indy project, that I cannot wait to try, Badlands Wolves art looks amazing, and a handy little card game.
The Voidfall pledgemanager came in. (Mostly) Paranoid techie that I am—of course I am not using the same email address on kickstarter that I have for my gamefound account. One of them could get hacked or send my email address to spammers (case in point my ks email address has an index 2 added because this happened and I had to kill the old address).
Yay for my pledge not showing up on gamefound when I follow the links from the eMail. One should think that they might have thought about people using more than 1 email address. In one direction email addresses are unique: emails to the same address always reach that person to whom it belongs and not sometimes a different one. However, assuming that 1 person can always be identified by the same email address is just wrong.
Just had something similar with a patch submitted through github to a project that requires the email address embedded in the commit to match the one on github to match the one that signed their contributor licence agreement.
A quick email to support fixed this way too easily. I am not quite sure they had all the assurances that this was indeed my pledge. Ah well… whatever mine now shows up.
