I'm backing both at the moment, but not sure I'll invest.

The first one is actually 3 games.  The first is a bunch of small games to be had with the components, they look neat, but not sure about longevity.  The second is a meaty rail game - I need to watch the playthrough.  The third is a puzzle game of sorts that looks a bit like nmbr9 - but for $33 I'm thinking it's a tad expensive.

The abstract game looks good, I got an early-bird on it, so will sit for the moment.  I'm not sure I'm a fan of all the layering of skills and abilities of the pieces, seems to play well as a computer game, not sure how fiddly it will be as a boardgame.  Overall design looks nice.

Indeed, it'll fit in nicely with the family, easy to learn and play and up to four people but good for two.

The Japanese thing looks good and a total of nine games all mixing with each other. If you go for it will you get the rest?

I'm not sure, I'm more likely to go the other way, if I'm not interested in one, i might forget all 3  :(y)

Well, here it comes one of my very first pledges: Tiny Epic Zombies - A Game of Brutal Survival.

I couldn't resist but back for the deluxe version. It seems it packs a lot of fun for the price tag and endless play. I really like the artwork too!

It's already funded and the stretch goals are quite nice.

Dwar7s winter (message from Vesuvius Media)

Quote
Counterfeits!

Please BEWARE! We know it sounds crazy, but we have been contacted by a couple of players who bought Dwar7s Winter from a shop in Italy!!! We saw the photos that prove it! Of course the game didn't include the miniatures, but there were cards, player mats and the rulebook. We were shocked! How was this even possible since we don't have the final artwork yet? Apparently someone is running a scam by printing the cards and the rulebook from the campaign page, and selling pretty much an empty box!

Please watch out and do not be fooled!

BUT, if you do come across a copy of Dwar7s Winter for sale in a retail store or games market, please take photos of the box and the store (!), and send the information our way.

People say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, but we want to make sure our players have the best quality games... we are not feeling flattered.

Lots to contend with atm:

First up: Valeria: Kingdom Cards
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dailymagicgames/valeria-card-kingdoms-shadowvale?ref=CarcC

I've put down a couple a few quid to get the 'premium' Print and Play to allow me to catch up with promos and exclusives not available in retail.

The Scarlet Pimpernel:
I love the over production of EGG games, so I need to give this one a proper look-at:

Gentes Deluxe:
Heard good stuff about this one, but need to see if it's anything more than a pretentious cube-pusher

Endeavor: Age of Sail is live. I probably won't back it in the end because I'm trying not to buy many games in general anymore and especially those that will be hard to get to the table, and this is one of them.

I feel the same way recently. I'm waiting for my copy of 7th Continent, but i lost my fellow players recently, a good part of them being med students, they tend to move every 6 months.
I play purple !
