This month brings games of cozy critters and wrathful factions. A classic co-op is getting the legacy treatment while an even older game is getting a modern update. There are also two microgames for solo gaming fans this month.

There’s a wide array of games this month on Kickstarter, with themes built around sea dragons, alien species collection, nature walks, and pottery studios. There’s also a collection of historical games and a new roll-and-write.

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.
