New Kickstarters for Preorder

We tend to back a lot of Kickstarter as a means to get new games into the hands of our local players, while still supporting your FLGS. The fact that we often manage to do this and save our customer’s money ends up being the ultimate win-win!

We have back a number of new games in the last couple of months and thought we should highlight them so no one misses out. We typically are only able to get 4 – 6 copies of these games and copies get pre-sold quickly.

Tidal Blades 2: Rise of the Unfolders + Cypher System RPG

Estimated to release in June 2023.

The sequel in the popular Tidal Blades line brings us not only a cooperative, narrative-rich game but also a Table Top RPG set in the world of Naviri!

Backers for the board game Tidal Blades 2: Rise of the Unfolders will receive the deluxe edition of the game which includes the Full Miniatures Set (70 figures plus deluxe fruit and shells) and 5 exclusive scenarios.

Those interested in the RPG Book will be delighted to learn about the Cypher System developed in conjunction with the award-winning Monte Cook Games.  This 400-page beast of a book contains not only the rules for creating unique characters and playing the game but also has all the background and lore about the world of Naviri.

Jurassic World: The Legacy of Isla Nublar

Estimated to release in October 2022.

This legacy-style game lets you join the team of dreamers and scientists to build and manage Jurassic Park over the course of 12  cooperative adventures!  This massive game features characters, buildings, and dinosaurs from the Jurassic Park franchise. The Kickstarter edition comes with unique characters, an exclusive box, deluxe tokens, miniatures and so much more!

Butterfly House – An Experimental Graphic Novella

Estimated to release in July 2022.

This enchanting new graphic novel is from our friends Brenda Hickey and Troy Little.

“Hidden in the forest on the outskirts of a quiet town there is a mysterious old house with a secret history. A nexus point where two timelines converge, an unsuspecting girl falls victim to its trap. Neither here nor there, she tries to piece together the puzzle of the father and son who once lived there while holding on to the memory of who she herself once was.”

DC Deck-Building Game 10th Anniversary

Estimated to release in December 2022.

It has been a while since Cryptozoic Entertainment released anything new for the widely popular DC Deck-Building Game. Now on the 10th Anniversary, they’ve launched a Kickstarter for multiple new expansions and stand-alone games. Finally, we will get to jump into the world of the Injustice: Gods Among Us Video games with an exclusive Kickstarter Cover and add another 2-play version with Flash vs. Reverse Flash! If you’ve been collecting everything you’ll notice your Multiverse box is already full, but fear not the villains can save your storage problems with the Super Villians edition of the Multiverse box. In addition to all this, there are a ton of stretch goals you’ll not want to miss out on.

BLADE RUNNER – The Roleplaying Game

Estimated to release in November 2022.

And finally, the last project we backed was the highly anticipated Blade Runner – RPG from Free League Press. The game is being offered as both a 200-page Core book and a Starter Set containing a condensed rule book, pre-generated characters, a full-length adventure, player handouts, and more!

If you are interested in backing any of these projects with us please contact us.
