I have quite a few coming this year (hopefully) so have been staying off KS and Gamefound over the holidays. Here's my list incoming:

  1. Dog Park - wife wanted this, looks like PARKS
  2. Super Truffle Pigs - programming mechanic caught my eye
  3. Fighters of the Pacific - PvP aerial combat, scenario based, looked interesting.
  4. Transmissions - not too far away apparently, family weight game.
  5. Marvel United Xmen - way too many boxes but I love the game and need all the characters.
  6. Long Shot - roll and write horse racing, I think we'll all enjoy this. Grew up across from the racecourse and worked there during Cup Carnivals.
  7. Wutaki - excited for this worker placement game, could be a dud, dunno.
  8. Meeples and Monsters - AEG don't make bad games IMO. Can't wait.
  9. Tiny Turbo Cars - delayed. wife wanted this for the slide puzzle control.
  10. Mob - 2P pandemic purchase, delayed. Looks OK.
  11. Duffers - deck builder, keen. golf theme.
  12. Dungeon Fighter - Dice/fantasy party game. Odd production updates, delayed.
  13. After the Empire - tower defines, my favourite style of computer game in a worker placement puzzle system.
  14. Don’t Go In There - light Halloween themed game
  15. Phantom expansion - am a Phan.
  16. StarFighter: rapid fire - RTS Dice chucker
  17. Kingdom Rush - favourite app as a board game. Got the sequel as I assume they'll iron out issues from Rift in Time
  18. Knights Tales - 2 years delayed. Not so excited anymore.

I need to see 10 games before I can get anything else I think.

25. Dawn of Madness - Horror dungeon crawler / exploration game. Delayed significantly from Oct 2021 to supposedly Oct 2022. Won't surprise me if don't see until 2023.

I see Marvel Zombies is making a zillion dollars... I really don't understand how people enjoy those games, they are so utterly bereft of fun mechanics.

I have a couple of Zombicides, but yeah after a couple of games it's pretty samey.

I don't mind an occasional game of Zombicide (I've seasons 1 and 2, both picked up second hand though, as they weren't worth it for me at full price), but only occasionally. From knowing some friends of friends who play it almost exclusively, for some it's board game for those that don't play board games.
 
I think minis can often make people lose their minds on Kickstarter. Over 400 USD for a gateway game like Zombicide is utter madness to me, yet it has the highest amount of backers.

That's nuts. I've backed a couple of Kickstarters (that had mini's) at around that price, but that's big games with multiple expansions, with way more content, both in quantity and variability, then Marvel Zombies is offering.
 
A couple of recent ones.

Yucatan - Aztec type theme of taking your prisoners and sacrifice them to the gods to gain glory. Went all in, including getting Kemet Blood & Sand, as hadn't got that previously, along with the crossover between the two.

On Gamefound Calico, Verdant and Cascadia as a bundle of the three games. Cascadia and Calico out already, but this gave the option to get Kickstarter versions of all three. For Verdant that's a KS mini expansion included.
 
There's a new solo game called Wreckland Run from the dev of Warps Edge due to hit kickstarter in a week or so, with a reprint of WE also available.

I've been getting into solo games a lot more since the beginning of the pandemic so keen to see what they've come up with.
 
The latest two backed are one each for the youngest and eldest. For the youngest - Iron Forest. From the makers of Ice Cool. It's another flicking / dexterity one, but layering a bit more complex gameplay on top of it, as well as two levels.

For the eldest - Evolution: New World. Already has Climate Evolution and wanted this one. The eldest will likely want to move out with friend not long after 18, so needs a few more games before then.

Ooh, realised I forgot to update backed The Thing. A fan of the movie, so couldn't pass this up (there needs to be a new Escape from New York board game IMO. There was a TSR one done in 1981, but what a board game was then, compared to what they can do now is worlds apart).

Yes! An Escape from New York board game coming later this year. The name's Plissken!

Think I'd need to see some gameplay of this, first time dev and a card based Captain Sonar feels like it'd miss most of the magic of that game.

Usually a red flag for me, but supporting a local design team so was prepared to risk it. I think the game will play well at 4 players and the experience will outshine the mechanics, which seem pretty straight forward in terms of programming and card play. The engagement between players, with some hidden programming seems to be the driving force.

I have a package arriving from Aetherworks this week, and I have no idea what it is. I checked their list of Kickstarters currently being shipped, and I don't recognise any of the names.

Could be MOB from TGG Games, I have a mystery delivery too. It is either that or Paint The Roses, surely.

I almost picked up a copy of Hellboy today for 90 dollars. Is the game any good?
Click to expand...

I don't actually have the boardgame yet. I'm told it's good, and I backed the big expansion for it on KS, expected arrival in July/August. I should probably pick up the base game at some point hey :D

This is the full contents of the RPG

I love Mignola's art

Another on Gamefound, but stretching it to here. Sleeping Gods : Distant Skies, a stand alone sequel to Sleeping Gods (not that we’ve started it yet).

Very close to pledging for this to get the original as well. Then I watched a 'how to play' of the original and it seems way beyond my level at the moment, as much as it looks really cool. Might still get it.
