Aw, a cute little bunny…that’s trying to eat you. As is the zombie groundhog over there and that zombie moose. It seems your fun evening of camping has turned sour and you and your friends have to race out of the forest and to safety! But where zombies are involved, it’s everyone for themselves and only one of you can make it out of the Nightmare Forest alive — coming soon to Kickstarter.

Fantasy takes center stage this month, with magical creatures inhabiting dungeons, attacking cities, and even playing a few rounds of baseball.

Dice games are nicely represented this month, with three games on Kickstarter that feature various amounts of rolling the dice. Between that, looting vaults, and pitching films in a party game for 4 to 10 players, this month offers a wide variety of casual games seeking funding on Kickstarter.

This is the month for cooperative games on Kickstarter, with three of them making this month’s roundup. Also present is a two-player strategy game, and a tribute to 80s' horror films.

One of the best tools in gaming's arsenal to expand the range of people playing games is an engaging theme. A game may be incredibly well designed, but it's hard to tell that from the box, and so its theme often has to do the heavy lifting of drawing in potential players.

There are a wide range of genres this month on Kickstarter, with casual games featuring press-your-luck mechanics, tile laying, bluffing, bidding, and more.

Are you the roughest, toughest cowboy in the Wild West? Prove it! There are bandits causing havoc in town and you can earn money and power from the townsfolk by bringing them to justice.

This is the month for lovers of card games and deck builders or just people who love some awesome animal artwork in their games.
