4 Tabletop Games on Kickstarter you NEED to check out!

Tabletop games are a guilty pleasure of mine, and it is a darn shame I do not play too many of them as often as I can, but I was scrolling through Kickstarter after one of my friends sent a link, so down the rabbit hole I went! Anyways, here are four of the ones that piqued my interest!

1. Familiars and Foes by Horrible Adorables

In this magical strategy board game, you play as one of five elemental familiars to your witch/wizard as they have been…KIDNAPPED! Throughout the game you build up your chosen familiar to become a formidable foe against the foes themselves.  

Players: 1-5, with each campaign being anywhere from 20-90 minutes.

Is this Project Funded? Not fully, but very close! This project is an all or nothing one as well, meaning it might get scrapped completely if not fully funded.

Pledge Amount Needed for the game itself: $49.00 USD.

Date the Project Closes Funding: November 3rd, 2022.

Estimated Release: August 2023.

Fun Fact, Horrible Adorables are also Artisan Toy Makers!

2. Heists in Hyperspace by Time Loop Games

Take control as captain of your very own Treasure Hunting Crew! Take an out of this world, intergalactic journey as you and other rival Treasure Hunters go head-to-head to see who can collect the most Renown. Though do be sure to plan both your moves and resources accordingly!

Players: 2-4 in a campaign that is planned for 60 minutes.

Is this Project Funded? Not quite but it’s a little over halfway there. Just like the previous entry, it is also an All or Nothing.

Pledge Amount Needed for the game itself: $32.00 USD as an early bird bonus!

Date the Project Closes Funding: November 3rd, 2022.

3. Starsworn: Compendium Adventure by Michael Low

In this choose your own adventure, you take the reins on your own story and only you can determine what happens next.
