With a title like this you'd expect the worst and are looking to get a truly abysmal game.
- Kingmaking? Gloating? Cheating? Recursion? Silliness? Player Elimination? Broken Cards? Denial? Kibitzing? Ganging up?
How could I not back this game? With a title like this you'd expect the worst and are looking to get a truly abysmal game. A card game embracing everything one could hate about games, gaming & gamers created to be silly but turned out to be a fun little game

I am so excited that they have decided to digitise one of the best 2 player board games in existence - Their Kickstarter is a great project! Twilight Struggle inherits its fundamental systems from the card-driven classics We the People and Hannibal: Rome vs. Carthage. In that tradition, it is a challenging strategy game of medium complexity that presents new and different challenges with every game session. The game map is a world map of the period, whereon players move units and exert influence in attempts to gain allies and control for their superpower. As with GMT's other card-driven games, decision-making is a challenge; how to best use one's cards and units given consistently limited resources? Twilight Struggle's Event cards add detail and flavor to the game. They cover a vast array of historical happenings, from the Arab-Israeli conflicts of 1948 and 1967, to Vietnam and the U.S. peace movement, to the Cuban Missile Crisis and other such incidents that brought the world to the brink of nuclear annihilation. Subsystems capture the prestige-laden Space Race as well as nuclear tensions, with the possibility of game-ending nuclear war. By moving to digital platforms, players will have more freedom playing the game than the physical board game allows. The digital version will include a game tutorial to help players understand the game fairly quickly, AI opponents to allow you to sharpen your skills, pass-and-play multiplayer, and both asynchronous and real-time online play so you always have a way to fit playing time in!
A digital card and board game of heroes and high-adventure set in the fairy-tale animal kingdom of Armello!As computer and video games go; this game 'Armello' is awesome! - You get to play animal human hybrids in a medieval setting. I saw this project on kickstarter and just had to back it, because I want to play it, so bad! The King, once Armello's wise and benevolent ruler, has fallen ill to a dark and mysterious force known only as the Rot. Slowly eating his body and soul, the Rot twists him deeper and deeper into madness. In response, Armello's Great Clans have called forth their Heroes to claim the throne of Armello; and this is where you start your adventure, Hero As a 'Hero' from one of the Great Clans of Armello, you'll quest, scheme, explore, vanquish monsters, perform the Mad King's royal edicts and face off against other players with one ultimate end goal in mind — storming the palace and becoming king or queen of Armello! There's no boring down time in Armello. After you hit the 'End Turn' button you'll be busy equipping items, recruiting followers and purchasing talents in your hero's unique talent tree. Maybe you're playing cards to the board as Perils for other heroes to stumble into or perhaps you're playing cards to strike up temporary allegiances... they're always temporary.
Cheese. I always think of the Monty Python Cheese Shop Sketch when I hear someone mention cheese. Now here is a the game of Cheesonomics made by Eagle Gryphon. What is Cheesonomics?
Cheesonomics is a cheesy original card game for 2-5 players ages 8 and up that takes about 20-30 minutes to play. It is a strategic set collecting, memory-based, hand management card game based on controlling and manipulating the supply and demand of various types of cheese from cheese markets throughout North America or Europe.
Each cheese-producing country or state has a unique pride about its world class product, and so we intend to encourage this friendly competition through the production of both the North American and European editions of Cheesonomics. Both editions feature red, yellow, orange, blue, green, cow, sheep, goat, yak and reindeer cheese, but with different states or countries spotlighted from which they can be produced and sold. I like games like Pirate Fluxx and Beanz and other card combination games that make the predictable, well.. unpredictable. I want a game like that to have a theme and backstory. I want to have fun and have a laugh with my mates playing a silly, but involving game - Heroes Wanted is a tactical card / board game combining fun with strategy. It is also unique that it has a single player option! Heroes Wanted by Action Phase is a tactical board game for 1-5 superhero hopefuls, attempting to fulfill their dreams of becoming a member of Zeta City’s exclusive crime fighting super team: The Champions of Zeta City. Each time you play, you will create a unique superhero comprised of two hero cards. You will then choose a scenario and face a different villain (or villains), but the objective remains the same: gaining as much fame as possible by KO’ing minions, completing headlines, and thwarting the villain. At the end of each game, the superhero with the most fame is the winner.
There is a YouTube video available showing the game being played. With over 1,000 possible superhero combinations, four different scenarios, and over 100 potential villains, no two games will ever be the same! Whether you are playing solo, in campaign mode, or duking it out against other eager crime fighters, Heroes Wanted offers a near limitless amount of replayability and customization. Two Rooms and a Boom! is a social deduction, hidden role game. Unlike other hidden role games, there is no need for a moderator. Each game is timed (so you know it won't last too long) and you can do whatever you want with your character card, including showing it to other players (that's identity verification).
At the beginning of a game, players are equally distributed between 2 separate playing areas (usually 2 separate rooms) and then each player is randomly dealt a facedown character card. There are 2 teams, the Red Team and the Blue Team. The Blue Team has a President. The Red Team has a Bomber. This themed card game I funded as I had Paradise Fallen from Crash Games already. It is billed as an strategy game of influence. It plays quick and it is known as a filler game. Here is their Kickstarter page.
Paradise fallen was a 'test' I wanted to know how Kickstarter actually worked as a crowdfunder and this was the result. It is a pretty decent game - it scores about 6.3 on Board Game Geek, which isn't too bad for a card game. I also tried helping them out by creating a facebook page for them. However they were none too pleased about that. They didn't give me any reasons and actually left the page as it was. But no acknowledgement or compliment was given.
