Brant Guillory, 29 October 2014
A Kickstarter project we featured way back in GARPA 37 finally gets into Brant’s grubby little mitts.

GameLynn was looking for $15k to get Tiny Epic Kingdoms printed, and figured they’d drop on over at Kickstarter and see what they could raise. Well, they raked in almost $287,000. Yes, you read that right. They pulled in almost 20 times what they were looking for. The end result is a pretty well-stocked box that landed at Casa del Brant yesterday.
An unassuming little box
With all this in it
Cards for each race detail their special abilities.
With some nice illustrations on the back
The rulebook is simple and clear, but not overly-illustrated
There are enough meeples for 5 players, in some darker colors. No mamby-pamby yellow meeples here! No foliage-green, either, though.
Resources are wooden tokens instead of cardboard counters – a Kickstarter stretch goal upgrade
Big tower marker and smaller shield markers
Dice are color-coded for maximum flash glare. And they match the meeples, too.
The maps are the same size as the player cards, making for a small footprint
Same for the shared player reference cards.
A Kickstarter bonus expansion includes 3 new races, and a bunch of quest items.
We’ll check back later and let you know how it all plays.
