GrogHeads Advanced Research on Projects Advisory #54
Hey now, hey now… you didn’t really want to start saving for Christmas shopping, did you? You really wanted to blow it all on these fine pre-orders and crowdsourced games instead!
Sea Kings (Worthington Publishing)
$4800 of $15k, ends 1 Nov 2014
Worthington makes some of the best lightweight wargames in the business, with hits like Hold the Line and Band of Brothers. Sea Kings looks like it’s going to take that track record to the age of Vikings and give you a great little empire-builder that looks like a Euro with it’s cute wooden pieces, but whose theme actually means something and evokes a real time and place. A combination of card play and area movement, Sea Kings is something that grogs can whip out with the non-wargaming crowd to still get a historical challenge when forced to play with a table full of folks that can’t spell “ZOC”. Sail over to Kickstarter and conquer your fear of pledging.
