Wargames, skipper! Off the starboard bow!
Trenton 1776 (Worthington Games)
$14,000 of $2500 goal, ends 21 April 2015
The Worthington Gang is back with another battle from the American War of Independence, and this time it’s Washington’s iconic river-crossing-to-surprise-the-drunk-Hessians-on-Christmas campaign. And let’s face it, the Battle of Trenton was pretty much the high-water-mark for the historical “good things that have happened in New Jersey” list. It’s part of a series that Worthington kicked off with New York 1776, and expect more to come. So march on over to their Kickstarter campaign and fire off your pledge to snag one while they’re hot.

Theomachy (Petersen Games)
$46k of $20k, ends 2 March 2015
Sandy Petersen, the brains behind Cthulhu Wars, is back with another supernatural smack-down. Theomachy pits the multiverse of gods against each other (and the Cthulhuians, too!) Ever wonder what would happen if the Egyptian and Norse deities clashed? Well, you can dig out your vintage-1981 Deities & Demigods book, or you can hop on the Theomachy train and battle it out in this interesting card game with equal parts strategy, poker-style bluffing, and drop-dead-gorgeous artwork. Power struggle? Well yeah! That’s pretty much the point, isn’t it?
