It’s Kickstart Monday time! This week we dive into paranormal investigations, espionage, and most importantly two great crowdfunding projects.

Hellboy: The Board Game Expansions and Dice Game

Hellboy: The Board Game from Mantic Games features the titular character and his associates leading paranormal investigations into the big, bad, and weird. The original game featured the players taking on the role of one of the investigators and going through a narrative that would reveal itself on a mission. As they would progress further there would be villains to be over come, new clues and advancements in the story, and ultimately a big boss fight at the end.

While there are plenty of missions in the box and a number of expansions to take your games further available this project introduces new content, miniatures, cards and stories you can play. It also introduces a whole new dice game that you can play as a quick filler between your games of Hellboy. If you are a fan of the comics or movies, like bashing your way through rooms of creepy baddies, or just need another cooperative game in your collection then you should check out this project.

Agents of SMERSH: Epic Edition

Agents of SMERSH: Epic Edition from Everything Epic is a game about creating an epic spy thriller in a board game. Playing with 1-4 players, each player takes on the role of a secret agent and must locate Dr. Lobo before it’s too late. Acquire spy gear, skills, gadgets, and allies to help you along the way. If you can make it to the end, then you are sure to face the doctor in what should feel like the final scene in any spy thriller you have seen.

This game has been out for a long time, but this will be a new version with updated artwork and graphic design, updated gameplay, and greater emphasis on the story of the game. If you like big action spy movies with a dastardly villain than this game might be right for you.

It may not be Monday, but it’s still time for this week’s look at crowd funding projects. This week we’ll take a look at two board games that are live on Kickstarter right now.

Marvel United: X-Men

Marvel United: X-Men from CMON Games adds your favorite mutants from the Marvel comic universe to the all ready popular Marvel United game. You can pick up either the base game or the base game plus expansion. Of course, with CMON Games there are always plenty of stretch goals and other exclusives that will only be available via this Kickstarter.

If you aren’t familiar with the game this is a card driven tableau building game. Both player and villain cards will be added to the story line. When cards are added there will be effects from those cards. You will be able to combine different cards in the story line to do even greater effects. Ultimately, you will need to rescue civilians, defeat thugs, and make your way to take on whatever villain you are taking on.

If you have what it takes to face down the like of Magneto or Apocalypse then you should definitely back this project!

Board Royale: Survival Evolved

Board Royale: Survival Evolved from Arvis Games is back for it’s second printing with added expansions for new game play experiences. Expect a heavy player interaction/elimination game of playing cards to attack opponents until there is only one player remaining. The second printing will incorporate a number of changes that were provided since the release of the game.

In addition, new expansions are now added. The Wild Hunt adds various beasts. The Zombie expansion adds, well, zombies of course. Add onto that new missions, skills and secret weapons will build on the game with even more possibilities.

If you love aggressive, card driven games where inevitably you will crush your opponents to be the lone survivor then this game is worth checking out.

spielmaterial.de has launched another project to add more game components to their available products. There are 50 new designs that will be produced if the project is successful. These are wooden game components will printed designs on them. So not only are the cool shapes, but the art work carries over so that each token seems more representative of what it is in game. These kind of accessories, while not necessary, really help aid the immersion factor.

Available as well are the original tokens that they produced previously. If you are looking to add a collection of unique game components to your board gaming experience this project may have you covered.

Kickstart Monday: Pretty Flowers Get Stomped by Monster Invasions

Monday, Monday, Monday!!! This week only. Featuring projects from Gamefound and Kickstarter game projects for a limited time only. Let’s take the time to check out these great projects!

Monster Invasion

Monster Invasion is a Gamefound project from Petersen Games. Where these projects are typically for a single game or product this one combines four games by four different designers!

This is also a different type of crowd funding projects. These games are all ready produced and ready to ship, so once the project is funded and funds collected these will ship. No big delays. Of course, that makes this more of a pre-order system. However, you do get a discount and are assured to be able to receive these games before they are available in retail.

All four games are available to try today on Tabletop Simulator so give them a try before you decide to back.

Gift of Tulips

Courtesy of their Kickstarter Project Page

Going from scary monsters we will turn to the lighter side of gaming with Gift of Tulips from Weird Giraffe Games. If you love bouquets of flowers, beautiful artwork, and games with cards then this will be a bright ray of sunshine for you!

At it’s core, Gift of Tulips is effectively a card drafting game. You will start with a hand of two cards, perform two actions on your turn, and before performing an action you will draw a card. Actions must be different that you play. You will either play a card that is added to your dispay of cards (your bouquet), give a card to another player (gifting them a flower), or add it to a stack that will be used for scoring during the other actions.

At it’s heart, there is simple mechanics with art that will make this game attractive as a great family game. We recommend you take a look at this Kickstarter game!
