A new Beginner’s Guide video has been released to help players learn the game’s mechanics. Grave Trigger introduces innovative features like a dynamic movement system, diceless combat, and the ability to summon and animate living terrain. Weapons and armor also evolve during battle, adding strategic depth.

Further updates will be shared in the coming weeks, offering more insights into factions and gameplay. The March 4th launch marks the start of what promises to be an evolving game experience.

Set in a future world where civilization has collapsed, Vestige invites players to explore a post-technological society in pursuit of influence. Players navigate a modular board, interacting with factions like smugglers, mercenaries, and lawmakers, using strategic resource combinations to unlock new capabilities and gain leverage. Vestige builds upon Orange Nebula’s previous game, Vindication, bringing familiar mechanics into a new setting and refining gameplay for an accessible yet layered experience.

The Gamefound campaign includes two exclusive offers for early supporters: the “Scavengers Scrap Pack” for those who follow the campaign and the “Marauders Scrap Pack” for mailing list subscribers, with both items added to backers’ pledges at the campaign’s conclusion.

Vestige will launch on Gamefound on November 19.

The game invites players to explore a dynamic, procedurally generated world. As they draw tiles, the forest unfolds, presenting shifting paths, enemies, and puzzles. The evolving campaign spans ten chapters, with each choice shaping future events. Combat and non-combat challenges will test both strategy and resource management, with enemies adapting to the battlefield as players work together to overcome threats.

Players can create unique characters, leveling up and unlocking new abilities as they progress. With a range of possibilities for character development, players can build custom multiclass heroes or follow set paths. The cooperative dungeon crawl supports 1-5 players, allowing for both solo and group play.

The campaign has met its funding goal, raising $260,548 from 1,109 backers so far. The initial goal of $52,106 was achieved in just 18 minutes.

The game is set to offer players the chance to control one of six races as they explore space, colonize planets, and develop technologies in pursuit of galactic dominance. The game is designed for 1-4 players and includes a solo mode.

The core game will feature more than 280 plastic models, providing a visually detailed experience. Jason Matthews, creator of Twilight Struggle, is serving as a consultant on the project, bringing his experience with strategy games to the development process.

The Gamefound crowdfunding campaign for Master of Orion: Ad Astra is scheduled to begin in January 2025. Backers will be able to use Stretch Pay to spread the cost across seven payments. Production is planned to take place in Poland.

Those interested can follow the campaign in advance to receive a Master of Orion-themed dice tray.

“The Bad Karmas and The Curse of Cthulhu” is the first standalone expansion for “The Bad Karmas and The Curse of The Zodiac.” In this new chapter, players find themselves transported to the 1920s, where they must face cosmic horrors, obscure cults, and powerful beings awakening from ancient slumber.

The Bad Karmas, familiar heroes from the previous game, must once again rise to protect humanity—this time against Cthulhu and other Great Old Ones.

The creators describe the gameplay as dynamic and cooperative, with players facing off against giant AI-driven monsters in a boss-battler format designed for 1-5 players.

The Curse of Cthulhu expansion introduces new hero archetypes and six new bosses drawn from the Cthulhu Mythos, adding new levels of difficulty to the battles.

The Great Old Ones are not just enormous foes; their power is such that they can drive characters to madness simply by looking at them, adding a psychological twist to the combat.

Teburu Teburu is also offering a full reprint of the original “The Bad Karmas and The Curse of The Zodiac” alongside the new expansion, allowing new players to jump into the complete experience.

The campaign has already received considerable support, with its rapid funding success highlighting the significant interest and enthusiasm among supporters.

The campaign reached its goal of $54,690 in just 23 minutes and 28 seconds, ultimately securing 439% funding with a total of $240,148 from 812 backers.

The campaign will be running for the next 24 days, giving more supporters a chance to get involved.

The company has outlined its schedule, with several projects set to launch over the next few years. Among the first is the English version of Kur-Nu-Gi, which will be available through a GameFound campaign launching in late 2024.

The highlight of RedImp’s announcements is The Lord of the Ice Garden: Anniversary Edition, expected to have its GameFound campaign launch in early to mid-2025.

This new edition is based on the universe created by Jarosław Grzędowicz and comes with both a refined version of the original rules and a modernized version designed to introduce additional elements to the game. The developers aim to improve the gameplay experience, introducing new miniatures and characters, while making adjustments to the board design and gameplay mechanics.

Fans of the previous editions will note some significant updates, but the game will remain true to its roots, preserving its core essence. Due to the amount of time since the release of earlier versions, there are no plans to offer upgrade packs.

Another project in development is the Inquisitor board game, based on the works of Jacek Piekara, which is slated for a GameFound campaign in late 2025. This game will immerse players in investigations that draw heavily from Piekara’s universe, with scenarios already planned to provide several hours of gameplay.

In addition to the board games, the company is also working on an RPG and card game set in the Lord of the Ice Garden universe.

In this sequel, players compete to construct the best village by recruiting villagers, constructing buildings, and exploring the caves beneath the marshlands. The game adds several new features to enhance gameplay, including haunted buildings that lower reputation, new types of caves with varying difficulty, and pearl tokens that count as valuable goods at the end of the game.

Other additions include new key and star buildings designed specifically for Above and Below: Haunted, boat tokens that help alter die rolls, and 40 unique adventure cards, each offering specific rewards for cave exploration.

Fans of the original game will find familiar gameplay elements alongside these new challenges and strategies, all set in the world of Arzium.

Above and Below: Haunted has met its funding goal on Gamefound, reaching $40,000 in under 30 minutes. The campaign has currently raised $186,232, supported by 1,881 backers, and is 465% funded with 19 days remaining.

Each turn, actions are activated based on the placement of capybara monarchs, with options that include moving capybaras, constructing buildings, using secret passages, and more. The gameplay emphasizes strategic planning as players compete to claim the tangerine throne.

Capybattle reached its funding goal of $5,491 in 2 hours and 55 minutes and is currently 190% funded, with $10,473 pledged by 321 backers. There are still 23 days remaining in the campaign.

Tanares Expeditions: Central Sea is designed for 1-4 players, who will take on roles as pirate heroes facing a powerful threat to the world of Tanares. The game combines dungeon-crawler mechanics with elements inspired by roguelites, as players navigate various quests, building heroes and creating impactful combat combinations that evolve with gameplay.

Lead game designer Alexandre Aboud shared that the game structure draws inspiration from titles like Slay the Spire, aiming to bring adaptation and growth to the mechanics. The game’s system allows players to contribute to combat strategy even outside of their turns, enhancing cooperative gameplay.

Dragori has announced four heroes for the game so far, with additional characters expected to be introduced. As a standalone release, Central Sea does not require previous Tanares titles for full gameplay.

In Far Away: Corporate Espionage, the most significant addition is the introduction of nanobots, which serve as a new AI system for controlling creatures, offering an alternative to the ROLEPLAY system from the base game. Players will face a series of new missions, each with a unique spin on the mechanics and a satirical take on the corporate world. From surviving extreme weather conditions while seeking venture capital to suppressing free will in exchange for overtime pay, the game introduces inventive challenges that expand on the original gameplay experience.

The expansion also brings new terrain types, like underground exploration with its own set of hazards and resources. A new game mode focused on sustainability, as well as additional landmarks, artifacts, and in-game objectives.
