2016 Kickstarter Update, Week 16

Games I Viewed:
Herbaceous

Status: Funded

In this filler by the designer of Biblios, players are planting herbs in either their own or a communal garden, then using a press-your-luck mechanism to decide when to transplant those herbs into pots for the kitchen. While I love the theme (despite the fact that it's backward...generally herbs start in pots indoors and then get transplanted out into the garden), and the art is fantastic, the game is just too light for my taste.

Underlings of Underwing

Status: 54% funded

In this worker placement game, players use all the colors of the rainbow to hatch baby dragons. While the theme appears to be custom made for my taste (RAINBOWS and BABY DRAGONS!), I just wish the game itself looked more interesting.
