Crowdfunding

KOSMOS has launched a new line of games, Days of Wonder has announced a new Ticket to Ride expansion, and Floodgate Games has released Décorum.

This month’s Kickstarters will pit you against giant guardians, destruction-mad kaijus, and prehistoric dangers. But if you’re looking for something a little more laid back theme, there’s also some tricky golf, bird watching, flower growing, and an abstract tile-laying game.

There is an eclectic mix of casual games on Kickstarter this month, including several dexterity games, a roll-and-write game, multiple cards games, a very creatively packaged party game, and a book of light-weight RPGs.

Hunt down a secret base or destroy a rogue AI in order to save the solar system. But you can only work together so much, as only one player can be the victor.

A world bound together by spark, contracts that cannot be broken, and a creator that is beginning to resent the growing power of those who control the spark — will you survive?

Battle it out to be the cleanest baby ninja. You never know when the round will end so you always need to be prepared!

The makers of Trekking the World have a new game on Kickstarter, as does the creative team behind Exploding Kittens. There’s also a retro-inspired roll-and-write, a domino-like strategy game, and a clever dexterity game themed around ninjas.

Black Site is a battle royale-style game played on a module board where players are trying to deduce where the other players are while also keeping their own locations a secret.

As we near the end of the year, there are still plenty of intriguing games on Kickstarter, from real-time dice games to cutthroat racing. There are also a couple of games for solo fans, a monstrous party game, and the sequel to Hanamikoji.
