The NEW New Boardgames Thread

I'll git it.

I imagine there would be something darkly amusing about banging another player's wife...

His Legion of Honor wife, that is.

There's a kickstarter for a Conan boardgame from Monolith:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/806316071/conan

Conan is a miniature-based board game that pits one player, the overlord, who controls hordes of savage tribesmen, no-good lowlifes and undead minions against 1 to 4 players who incarnate the legendary Conan and his fellow adventurers. The gameplay is asymetric, as the overlord possesses a large selection of models and objectives which are his own, whereas the brave heroes are played from a first person perspective, much like in a role playing game. An adventure can be played out in 1 hour on one of the beautiful game boards (depicting iconic locations of Howard's immersive Hyborian world) as you pit your wits, daring and tactical acumen against your opponent


74 Highly detailed, 32mm, plastic models
1 Book of Skelos (Plastic overlord dashboard)
25 coloured base sleeves
9 engraved, six sided dice (3 Yellow, 3 Orange, 3 Red)
60 Plastic energy gems
4 Hero character sheets
1 Turn counter sheet
43 Creature tiles
55 spell and equipment cards (1.65x2.48in / 42x63mm)
2 double sided game boards 24x28in / 60x70cm (4 maps: Pictish village, Pirate ship, Inn, Fortress)
Over 80 tokens (doors, chests, villagers, effects...)
1 rule book (includes: 8 scenarios)

It's designed by Frederic Henry with art by Adrian Smith.

They were asking for $80,000. They're at almost $1,050,000. With 19 days to go.

They actually have seem to be having trouble adding more stretch goals (more miniatures! more characters! more everthing!).

I think I will pledge as well, because this looks beautiful, and also: Conan!

Also, you don't get often characters like these in games anymore:

No way! I own that one. Haven't played it.

You will need a lot of time sleeving and sorting the 600 cards before you try it, mind.

No do this again languish. Over the course of the outage I bought;

Nappy at Leipzig 5th ed

I already sleeved them, but I hear setup time can be a bitch.

We need to stage an intervention for 11B.  Obviously he has a problem.

Of course, we'll have to take away his games, but it's for his own good and strictly therapeutic.

I call divs on Wacht am Rhein.

[CountDeMoney]

Some of those old titles from back in the day are still some of the best games and rules systems; they're just not very flashy or, in some instances, even pretty, because they were designed to work--at least before the RANDian Whiz Kid types at SPI started to get real traction in the hobby. 

[11B4V]

Sick bastard.

You know what's really sick. Most of the KP counters are already clipped. 

[11B4V]

What have you all heard about the Huzzah! Series ?

[CountDeMoney]

Too new to really know anything about it.  Although you'd think "grand tactical" ACW stuff would start to bleed into the miniatures rules realm.

We'll find out. Should be here in a few days.
