Come check out this week’s batch of crowdfunding and Kickstarter highlights – including board games, RPGs, and STLs!

Fled: A Gripping Game of Gutsy Escape

 

Plunge yourself into the intriguing world of 19th century captivity in this tactical card and tile escape game for 2-4 players. Designed by Mark Swanson and illustrated by renowned artist, Klemens Franz, FLED is based on a historic British fort turned island prison off the south coast of Ireland. The first prisoners were just young lads—many unfairly detained for infractions as minor as stealing a potato.

During the game, you will manage a hand of tiles that you will add to the prison and discard to move from room to room.  The icons on the tiles let you move through doors, windows, tunnels and corridors. Along the way, you will also collect contraband that you will trade for the tools you’ll need to escape. If you’re not in the right rooms when the Governor whistles you to roll call, a nearby warder could put you in shackles, or worse—send you to solitary confinement. Score victory points for collecting items and for escaping! …Yes, the whistle really works : )

Galactic Cruise

 

Hello, and welcome to Galactic Cruise. Here, we offer our guests something special: the comfort of a luxury cruise with the innovation of space travel. As the first company to offer extended-stay space vacations, we are excited to have you working for us!

As a supervisor of this company, you’ll be expected to not only build these shuttles and satisfy our guests, but also to help the company thrive by enhancing our company network, inventing new technologies, and growing our workforce. We are a united company, and you’ll often find that what another supervisor does will make your job easier. Let me be clear, though, this is a competition. The supervisor who comes out on top will become CEO of the company.

Cats of Catthulhu 10th Anniversary Edition

 

CATS OF CATTHULHU is the beloved rules-light roleplaying game in which the players take the part of ordinary cats, secretly defending human civilization from the Chaos Cults of the other animals. All the players have to do is act like cats, while the Cat Herder arranges exciting challenges for them—anything from snacky time to daringly interrupting dire rituals.

Ten years after the original publication, we are thrilled and chilled to reveal a new Anniversary Edition, with all material refreshed and compiled into a full-color hardback book with plenty of goodies to boot.

Cascadia: Rolling

 

Cascadia: Rolling is the newest series of small box board games from the award-winning design and publishing team at Flatout Games! The newest design by Randy Flynn, illustrated by Beth Sobel, and developed by the Flatout Games CoLab – the same team that brought you the multi-award-winning Cascadia and other hit board games!

Cascadia: Rolling is a series of puzzly flip-and-roll-and-write games featuring the habitats and wildlife of the Pacific Northwest! Simultaneously roll dice, collect wildlife, and complete habitat cards to fill in different environments in Cascadia. Use special actions to manipulate your dice, and dynamic completion cards to unlock powerful combos!
