2015 Kickstarter Game Update Week 1

Game I Viewed:
Spirits of the Rice Paddy

Status: 68% funded

This is a resource management game in which players are rice farmers on Bali who must care for their animals and crops while trying to gain the favor of the gods and acquire enough water for a winning yield. I had wanted to demo this at GenCon last year and never got the chance. The theme really appeals to me, I'm just not convinced at this point that it's anything other than a standard Euro. I'm going to need a lot of originality out of a new game for me to back it this year.
