2014 Kickstarter Game Update: Week 1

[spacealien_vamp]

I'm posting this a day early so that people might have a chance to get an early bird slot (though they're going fast).

Game I Backed:
Fresco Big Box

Status: Funded

Fresco is a simultaneous action selection game in which players buy different colored paints and combine them to "paint" a cathedral for points. This kickstarter is for distribution of the base game and 10 expansion modules. I already own the base game (which comes with the first three expansions) and I think it's a lot of fun. This is cheaper than buying all the expansions separately.

Game I Viewed:
Kingdom

Status: 32% funded

This is a two player strategic battle card game. I looked at it because the concept sounded interesting, but it irks me that it pits good against evil--which means one player is good and the other is evil. I don't think it's fair to make one person have to be evil. Also, I rarely get the chance for two-player games anyway.
