February with the goal of having all 4 games totally shipped to backers by February 15.

Crusader Kingdoms

Click the title above or the picture below to go to the Kickstarter Page

Crusader Kingdoms is a game for 1-4 players set in the era of the Crusades, where each player controls one of Outremer’s main Christian or Muslim kingdoms, with the goal of expanding it through intrigue and conquest.

Designed by Jesús Peralta, there are four different games between the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Crusades. The game allows cooperative, competitive, and solitaire game play. 

With easy to understand rules, you'll be up and playing within 20 minutes of opening the box.  No two games will play the same since certain cards that appear change from game to game.  With multiple Crusades and Saladin's campaign, the game has immense replayability.


Lots of more details on the Kickstarter page!

 

CHANCELLORSVILLE 1863

Click the title above or the picture below to preview the Kickstarter Page
 

Designed by Maurice Suckling (designer of FREEMAN'S FARM 1777).  CHANCELLORSVILLE 1863 uses many of the concepts from Freeman's Farm 1777.  What stays basically the same:

• 1.  Combat
• 2.  How formations are activated and the receiving of momentum cubes by the play of formation cards
• 3.  The use of leaders like Gates, Arnold, and Burgoyne --- now Lee, Jackson, and Hooker
• 4.  The use of tactics cards

What's Unique:

• 1.  Hidden movement -- the game uses minimaps that allow for some hidden movement and variable setup of some formations.

• 2.  Much more movement -- formations move on the board and combat occurs when two units of opposing sides end in the same location.

• 3.  Reinforcement by transfer of cohesion points between formations
• 4.  A card driven solitaire engine

• 5.  Formation cards allow for multiple formations to activate with major and minor activations.  Major allow two moves while minor allow one move.

• 6.  Prepared positions --- spend your activations to build breastworks.

Gamers who own Freeman's Farm and are familiar with it's concepts will be up and playing in 15 minutes.  And with quick setup and game play, gamers will be able to play multiple games in an evening.
