Good fun. It’s competitive for 2-4 players. You are building your village (Above) and send out villagers to explore caverns (below). There’s a location book where each location has a short story entry then some sort of challenge, with a couple of options to choose from. The person next to the current player reads the story and outlines what success you need at each option to get the reward. There’s usually an extra reward if you beat the test by more than 2. There’s now Forteller for it, where it will read the entries (have it, but haven’t used for Above and Below yet, but have for other games. They use professional voice actors for games and IMO worth the cost). It’s mid-weight, so given the number of games you’ve now played you’d feel comfortable with it. One of my favourites and a good introduction to Red Raven games, as they do have a familiar feel to some degree from game to game. Which is understandable as the game design and art is by the same guy for them all.
Witcher time again. This time with Geralt, Yennifer and Ciri. The Witcher: Path of Destiny. Reasonably priced as well (not as massive expansions or as many mini's as Witcher : Old World). The makers are fans of the books, unlike NetFlix, so it's not just names and art slapped on some abomination that will barely resemble the source material.
Not all games backed (I can't remember all the one's wife has backed the last 6 months 
), but one's since last update either backed under my Kickstarter or our joint Gamefound account:
The biggest of the one's backed. Nemesis. Almost all in on Nemesis, Nemesis: Lock Down and the new Nemesis : Retaliation. Almost all in, as despite both of us wanting all the games, and (via Stretch Pay, so doing over 7 months) we could enable each other the almost $1500 for 3 games, all expansions, art books, and miniatures, we couldn't justify ~ $4000 (!!!) option for having all models painted.
Cascadia - Rolling Hills and Cascadia - Rolling Rivers. Roll and write games based on Cascadia.
Photo Tour - You're a travel photographer taking photos across North America. This and Cascadia games balance out the 'Yeah, lets die in horrible ways, of the other games backed'.
Horror on the Orient Express. A Cthulhu mythos game, which as probably guessed given it's on the Orient Express is a mystery to solve - namely who are the cultists who've brought the train to the Dreamlands and stop them before it's too late to get back to Earth.

That Nemesis all in is absolutely bonkers, especially for a game that can be pretty hit and miss.
