Anyone backing Delve?

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2012515236/delve

I'm undecided, Rahdo's run-through was pretty incoherent.

By Order of the Queen is knocking down stretch goals very well at the moment!

Nope!

While I love tile laying and especially Dungeon Crawls, (on of my favourite genre's), this just isn't clicking for me, maybe its the competitive nature. Dungeon crawls for me are best as coops. Not sure exactly what else but the theme and game play just seems a little too contrived for my taste.

On top of that, right now there seem to be a plethora of games with similar tile laying mechanisms, like Honshu https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/207336/honshu, (which I've preordered and really look forward to) and even Capital https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/206803/capitalhas some similarities in the tile laying.

I like certain aspects of Delve but in the end I've decided to pass on this one.

Thanks Franks! Yes - it seems to not be ticking a box for me either. I think Clank! might be more fun. I watched a 'Watched It Played' video last night and it looked more interesting!

I watched a few of the Delve videos and I must say my interest decreased the more I watched. I think the rooms are just too cluttered with treasure and what not. It would be cool if the tiles had some bad guys on it so that I could place them in a room where my wife had ownership or something like that. The other issue is the amount of time it takes things to resolve. You can place a Carcassonne tile that closes a big city, a road, and possibly a few cloisters. At most it takes 30 seconds to add up the points and return the meeple. With this you can add a tile, close 3 or 4 rooms and forget whose turn it was by the time everything is resolved.

I was hoping for a Zelda Carcassonne or maybe a HeroQuest Carcassonne, but this isn't either.

Any love for Dwarves: Dig, Delve, Die? I had completely forgotten about it but I just got the reminder email. Dice and dwarves is a pretty nice combo

The art doesn't ring any bells on my wallet and with Dice of Crowns and Sagrada on the collection not sure I want to step on anymore dice.
But if you back it I'll we can play it

I'm also reserving my March KS allowence for Quodd Heroes.

The custom dice might have put me over the top...

Two nice little fillers with tile laying action:
Dragon Dodge
Ore-Some

Damn you Chooselife! These both look pretty cool at first glance, I'll have a deeper look at both. Also, the meeples from Dragon Dodge look like great pimping opportunities for Princess & Dragon and Mage & Witch!

Edit: Having looked a little deeper, if I had to choose one, I think I'd choose Dragon Dodge. I backed for $1 so I could ask a question in the comments section, so I'm half sucked in already.

I am more interested in ore-some, but not at that price. At $20, I would back, but at ~$43 not happening. I do love the little mine carts though.

An update on these two:

I've backed Dragon Dodge, which is about halfway to funding with 26 days to go. I think it's an interesting little game because there are a few aspects of tile-laying in this game (namely the ability to rotate already placed tiles and the ability to remove and subsequently replace tiles) that seem to be quite new and innovative compared to the usual landscape building games (e.g. Carcassonne, Cacao, Isle of Skye) or route-building games (Tsuro, Karuba, Indigo etc).

I haven't backed Ore-Some, though it does look like a cool little game. It's 75% funded with 20 days to go.

In what might be the first huge KS of the year Empires of The Voice just got funded in 31 minutes.
I'll need more info about the overall game play but being a huge fan of Above and Below and craving the arrival of Near and Far, I'll keep a very close look into this one, and any Red Raven releases for that matter.

That looks interesting, but I don't quite know what to make of it. I was planning on backing Alien Frontiers, but my wife found that Stone Age was back in print and talked me into getting that worker placement game instead.

Chooselife · « **Reply #373 on:** March 02, 2017, 04:20:52 AM »

But why don't the schedule the KS campaigns to end on the end of the month?

?

On top of Empires of The Voice with just released gameplay videos, Raiders of the North Sea Expansions were also launched this month. While the "North Sea Saga" is a thrilogy and there is a take it all pledge of 260EUR, I've to say that Raiders is of the three the only one that caught my attention, so I would love to back the game plus the 2 expansions pledge for 125EUR.

I think I'll let you do that and I'll come over and play your copy.
