Game I Backed:
Tokaido Collector's Edition

Status: Funded

This new version of Tokaido includes the Crossroads expansion and some promos as well as metal coins and tons of miniatures to represent the characters, plus other stuff. I keep waffling about keeping my pledge for this, because it's kind of expensive, but there are going to be so many miniatures included that I could keep a set for myself AND give a set to my parents.

Games I Viewed:
Kingdom Builder Big Box

Status: Funded

This project collects Kingdom Builder and a bunch of its expansions together in the same box. I looked at it because the game is designed by the same person who came up with Dominion, but area control as a game mechanism just doesn't do it for me.

Let Them Eat Shrimp

Status: 81% funded

This is a tile laying game by the creator of Biblios. Neither the theme nor the game mechanics appealed to me, but the campaign does offer a pledge level to buy a copy of Biblios for anyone who might be interested in that.

This game attempts to replicate the town-building of people at the dawn of civilization. I absolutely adore the art. Again, though, I'm not into the tile laying.
