Escape the Dark Castle: The Legend Grows...

You probably know that Escape the Dark Castle is one of my go-to games at the moment, especially as my daughter enjoys playing it with me.

The good news is that crowdfunding for the next bunch of expansions for the game is on Kickstarter! Included are new mechanisms for NPC companions, plagues and a host of new challenges. Also there's a collector's box which is designed to house all of the cards, dice and such from the core game and the expansions.

All in all it looks pretty cool! Check out the Kickstarter at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1998318065/escape-the-dark-castle-the-legend-grows

The Frost Collection Kickstarter

I've been contacted by Tim of Oz Clay Creations (here's a link to their Facebook page), who's spreading the word about a new Kickstarter campaign called The Frost Collection: Scatter Terrain For The Frozen City (here's the Kickstarter link)

This Kickstarter hopes to provide pieces of small resin terrain, designed to meet the many and varied Frostgrave scenario requirements, for example telescopes, corpse markers, altar with captive prince and so forth.

There are various sets on offer, with painted and unpainted options, as well as numerous stretch goals. Might be worth checking out!

Escape the Dark Castle Kickstarter

"A simple, co-operative tabletop game for 1-4 players, with a stylish design inspired by 80s fantasy nostalgia."
Well that's me sold!

This is a new (but delightfully retro) game that's being funded via Kickstarter (here's the link) that looks suitably fun enough for me to back (thus popping my Kickstarter cherry - now I can enter the gaming world a man!)

Basically you start off as a rag-tag bunch of prisoners trying to escape the eponymous dark castle. As you make your way through the gloomy corridors and shadowy chambers, you flip cards to reveal the perils within, fighting those who would stand in your way by rolling special dice.

If you prevail, you can pick up items, from mouldy bread to two-handed axes, to aid your escape. However, at the end of your ordeal is the boss card - the big bad - who stands between you and freedom...

The project is already funded, and at the time of writing there's only 3 days left to go, so if you're intrigued, don't hang about and check it out (if only for the hilarious promotional video!)
