Friends and fans of board games! We had a lot of interesting games and previews from Kickstarter in august and there were a lot of strategies, survival horrors, wonderful indie games and other magnificent stuff. Let’s look at what we’ve done!
Oni
Current Status: Funded
Oni is the game which you can play with small amount of people. The setting is the feudal Japan where it is possible for you to play as a demon (or an evil spirit if it’s more appropriate). This demon hurts humans and steals gold. This game will help you to think in strategic way and to develop your memory and it’s going to be fun and easy! Also, each player has secret objectives on cards and it makes a lot of intrigues in the game play!
This project has successfully collected $8, 698 out of 7,000$ within 31 days. It’s even more than they wanted! Keep it going, guys!
Shuffle Heroes
Current Status: Funded
Shuffle Heroes is a game from Czech Republic. In this game horrors and dark fantasies are offering you an action to destroy your enemies! This game has six characters and each of them has his own skills and abilities.
The rules in Shuffle Heroes are not so difficult. You can do whatever you like with your cards – replenish them or play them in each turn. The game continues until one player eliminates the characters of other players or reduces their health points.
This game is one of the most successive in august tops because it raised 15,332 € out of 5,000 €! That’s an amazing result!
Necrovirus
Current Status: 30% Funded
Necrovirus is printable, customizable, 3D and 2D designed, different every time, immersive board game! Yes, it is possible! NecroVirus has all this stuff, be sure!
Apocalypse theme could be rather old for cinema or board game industry. However, this game is revolution. Full-color components represent a post-apocalyptic city and streets may be wide and straight. Also, you can make them crooked and narrow to create a guerrilla war against zombies with hideouts, ambushes and all that stuff. You can install each object at the new position each time you play. You will never play the same game again! In this game you will take a chance to save yourself with a small group of people.
This game collected 28,390 $ out of 100,000 $… It is quite good but unfortunately it is unsuccessful and campaign is over.
Soccer City
Current Status: Funded
Soccer City is something new in the board game industry. Gonzalo Rodrigo and Lisandro Nembrini are two usual friends who like football and board games. They had a brilliant idea of a game where every action and situation is possible. Everything is possible after three years of work on this game. Dribbles, tackles, tactics, yellow cards, shots, extraordinary goals, some external factors, arbiters and even… the very miracles which are called the goalkeeper save may turn any match upside down. This game is fully different each time you play it. Also, this game is an innovative football simulator.
This project funded €28,481 out of €25,000! And it is successfully for these two guys! Let’s see what they are going to do next.
Hipster
Current Status: 20% Funded
Hipster is an innovative and funny board game! Jacob Lindborg made it with kindness and a lot of humor. This game is about popularity and intrigues between your friends. Your goal is to become the best hipster among your friends. What will you need to do that? Not so much, I guess. It’s 30 minutes to play, one friend or more, 10 location cards and 30 character cards.
The game consists of rounds. Each round you can play five items from your hand to get new ones. An item has a special feature or bonus in combination with another one. If you have a successful combination you will have a better chance to win the game!
This game funded 10,593 kr DKK out of 50,000 kr DKK and the campaign is over now… Unfortunately, it is not successful but this game is amazing!
Insurgent Squad
Current Status: Cancelled
Insurgent Squad is a combination of four board games. They are completely different but with the same idea. These four parts of Insurgent Squad are – Silicon Anarchy, Real Villain Game, Historical Conqueror East and Historical Conqueror West. You can play each tabletop game separately of four games!
So, you have five board games with 16 personalities. You can call them heroes or anti-heroes. The maximum player quantity is 16 and they are famous politicians, prosperous businessmen and creative inventors.
This game funded 1,964$ out of 50,000$ and it is cancelled for now… It’s quite disappointing.
Outdare! Color the Rainbow

In this game the world has run out of imagination and lost all its colors. Even the rainbow has faded to dark gray… Every player should find new friends and bring more imagination to the world to color the rainbow again!
