Crowdfunding

Lots of animals in this month’s games: from critters battling for trash in alleyways and food in the forest to animal newspapermen filling the front page with woodland news.

This month on crowdfunding sites we have backstabbing pirates, evil scientists, and solo adventures that fit into your pocket — plus three new games from BoardGameTables.com, a domino-inspired abstract game, and a tile-layer over on Gamefound.

This month on Kickstarter, Pandasaurus brings a new game from the designer of Wingspan, Floodgate Games introduces a legacy adaptation of Sagrada, and much more.

In Ryan Courtney’s latest network-building game, 1-8 players will construct various paths for travel through the great outdoors.

This month, Kickstarter is host to two escape room games, duck-centered alien abductions, wizard duels, pirate battles, river adventures, and (just for a change of pace) organizing your junk drawer.

Flu Season and Flu Season Dice are two games currently on Kickstarter that are seeking to be "super spreaders" of fun.

We’ve found a very nifty-looking game on Kickstarter, with a unique twist on flip-and-write (you’re writing on a globe!), as well as deck-builders, murder mysteries, and quirky cheeses!

Pick-and-pass is a popular mechanism this month on Kickstarter, including in the newest game in the Tiny Epic series. There are also games of breakfast foods, hunting fantastical creatures to add to your nature park, a tactical skirmish game played with just eighteen cards, and a solo roll-and-write about safe cracking.

Drive your cart through the streets, collecting trash, to clean up the city. Or at least the part of the city you care about. Because, of course, you want to clean up your streets faster than your opponents — so there’ll be bombs, explosions, and backstabbing as you try to set them back.
