Tabletop Kickstarter Megathread

thedandmom · February 2013

I really felt that this didn't fit all that well in the indie games section because that is more for video games and apps and such. You can't always download demos and such for tabletop games, and there are no codes you can give out for them. So I'm making a place for us.

Rules:
1. If you have a Kickstarter, you can make your pitch here and people who are looking for things to fund or new games can see them.

2. Once it has been funded (or not) you can start your own thread since it is likely a published game in its own right and you are now a famous game designer!

3. If you want your (personal) Kickstarter edited into this post, PM me with a link to your pitch post in the thread and I will quote it here.

Current Kickstarters:

Conquering Corsairs -posted by Thedandmom
During the game, players take different actions during each of the four seasons of a turn. In Spring, you play pirates on to the deck of your ship. They will be needed to attack locations and recruit new shipmates in the following seasons. In Summer, you sail your ship between islands in the Silver Seas and can either try to conquer them or explore new locations, looking for plunder. In Fall, you recruit new pirates, taking them from either common supply piles or a personal supply that only you have access to. In Winter, you can stow treasure (cards) in your hold, that will gain you plunder at the end of the game. The Pirate King is also determined in Winter, based on the prestige that each player has obtained from their locations and any powerful pirates still in play.

The game structure encourages the meaningful interaction between players by focusing attention on the map of the Silver Seas, and the shared turn structure keeps everyone engaged throughout. It is highly replayable with the random layout of the map every game, along with different common and personal supplies. Conquering Corsairs also features four distinctive factions that accommodate different styles of play: swashbuckling Elves, creepy Undead, Viking raiders and the tomb-robbing Smugglers. Naming the factions is one of the rewards, so keep reading!
