He is indeed an early backer in fact!

This was posted on the Facebookpage of BGG. This looks really cool. But the 2-player makes me a bit sceptic, although they are looking into it for expanding it to 3-4 players with a stretch goal. Now THAT would be interesting! Looks amazing as well.

Copper Gaming Dice

These look pretty cool, but I'm going through a bit of a Kickstarter detox at the moment. Not including the Escape Big Box.  >:D

A couple of nice looking, fairly light filler card games have hit KS in the last few days:

Elevator
More of a social card game for 2-9 players.

Hoard
A set collection game where you have to cash in your treasure before waking the dragon.

I think Hoard looks really nice, so I've backed it for now. Elevator doesn't include enough information in the campaign for my liking (i.e. there's no gameplay video, rules etc so we don't really know how to play).

It's going quite well so far, more than 50% funded with 23 days to go. It's also nice that it's a project that's in the true Kickstarter spirit (first time designer), unlike the Queen Games etc projects where they just use KS as a shop.

Definitely think the production quality of Hoard looks great and it's nice to see smaller developers using the platform. There are way too many large producers on there these days.  I just watched the gameplay video and I wasn't taken with the game, I wasn't convinced there was much choice, but the dragon cards and fighting elements were a nice touch.  The artwork is nice too, reminds me of the 1st/2nd editions of 'The Hobbit'.

Hoard is another New Zealand designed game. I have played some of Julia's other games. Raid the Pantry and Granny Wars come to mind.

Just reading the Kickstarter now. You mentioned it reminded you of The Hobbit. I see the art was done by Weta Digital. Guess what movie series they were involved in.

Cute and wife-friendly, but is there a game here? Sea Turtle Scurry

I Do like a good print and play, but rarely get the chance to sit through and make it happen.  This one seems to lack reviews.

I ordered March of the Ants last week, so I'm good for the time being and a few projects are finally coming to fruition.  :(y)

I agree on the cute and wife-friendly and add the kid friendly but I don't really think there is a game here.

I backed Dale of Merchants 2 on the Catch Up Pledge and will probably end up backing Dice of Crowns. Simple and cheap enough to be a good filler game when you don't have time or enough sleep hours for better.

FYI on the Santorini front the ZEUS copy of the Portuguese Group is now on Open Auction untill the 23h59 of June 24th, base price is 49Eur and the minimum bids are 1Eur.
If someone wants in just tell me and I will liaise or point you to the respective thread.

I'm all in on: Catacombs & Castles - I don't have any dexterity games - this one looks fun and has great artwork:

Love dexterity games but have resisted this series so far. Would like to see a proper video for this new set which looks intriguing. Will keep an eye to see where this one goes.

Wanna play Carc? Can we add just one more expansion?
