Introducing Snaplaces:  discover a simple, yet brilliant design that makes traditional shoelaces a thing of the past.
There's been very little innovation with shoelaces simply because most people don't give much thought to tying their shoes.

Get the SNAP BACKER reward + two sets (4 Clips + 4 Laces) of the Kickstarter funded SNAPLACES 2.0. Faster to lace, easier to clip, and a super sleek design. The ultimate in fit! With multiple clips you can precisely adjust the tension on the laces to meet your needs.

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!

After I have backed the Scrooser on Kickstarter, I decided that I needed to ensure that when using it I was safe on the road. Reflective jackets and armbands et al, are not my thing per se.
I wanted to be seen and not become a full beacon.

The COMMUTER X4 won 2nd place in the British Inventors’ Project at the Gadget Show Live 2014!

Sometimes you come across a game concept that is just beautiful. This game was offered on Kickstarter as a entertaining game and well designed learning tool, and the art is just so polished. I still haven't got a full idea how this game works, but it it looks too beautiful to pass it by. I really wanted to be a part of it and become an owner of it. Especially as it is offered as an educational, factual game.

Migration is a unique, area-control, fantasy game where 'nations' vie for valuable New World territory over generations of conquest

Back Story
By the hundreds, creatures are emigrating from the Old World in search of hope and prosperity. The New World offers endless opportunity, but only to those who arrive first. In this clever game, players seek out territories to conquer and compete for the most fertile properties, making critical decisions to gain the advantage.
Migration is a land-grabbing game in which players play unique pieces on a board in order to claim territory. Each piece is treated differently, ignores certain rules or creates new conditions according to its type. Players continue to settle in regions while remaining careful to not upset opponents, walk into traps or restrict one's own growth options.

There is a full (Early Draft) PNP available.
It seems simple enough, and it is, but there's a real depth to each decision and no two games play the same.

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.

• Churn the right colors or animal types of cheese from opponents' hands to seize the supply of cheese!
• Produce the market's most demanded colors of cheese to milk the most profit!
• Sell the most of each kind of animal cheese to secure end game bonuses and earn the most curd cash by selling different colors of produced cheese at high market prices!

Cheesonomics was designed to celebrate the cheese industry and leading producers of cheese. They have a Facebook Page too.
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.

Yup, that is the Scrooser. This is an German engineered power assisted fat wheeled scooter. It was actually an 'accident' that I backed it. I was so impressed with the project that I pressed 'I want One Now' on the project page. This asked for my details and a credit card. However after a discussion with Anita I decided that I should just back it instead of paying a wad load of $$$$ to receive it. So I changed the backing to 'Keep Me Updated' and that was it. But it wasn't... After the project ended I was charged the FULL $$$$ for my very first selection. As it turned out I only changed the selection but not the amount paid.

After trying to backout, I became clear that with my donation I actually just pushed them over to a successful Kickstarter. I decided with the manufacturers that they will honour my original backing and I will now become the proud owner of one of these sweet rides. I can customise the colours and only 100 will be manufactured in the first run. Click here for the Scrooser project page on Kickstarter.
