Crowdfunding

Fly on the wings of the wind, grab onto branches, and race to the sacred flower, in this quick dice game currently on Kickstarter.

A new year and a new batch of casual games hit Kickstarter.  From a couple of games with a horror theme, to abstract strategy games and light card games, there’s a wide range of choices this January.

Before starting Atheris Games I was not much of a gamer. I knew nothing of the plethora of amazing tabletop gaming products – I had never even heard of Catan or Ticket to Ride. I just simply had an idea for an automotive trading card game, Holeshot Heroes (which has not yet been released). As I began to try to immerse myself in the industry I was taken aback by the depth of products, but I was also incredibly intimidated by the seemingly complex games.

December is usually not a great month for having a large selection of Kickstarter casual games, but this year is an exception.

From backstabbing and betrayal to complete cooperation, there’s something for everyone on Kickstarter this month — no matter how much of team player they may (or may not) be.

Kickstarter was originally created to give designers the opportunity to test an idea that might otherwise be a hard sell to a mainstream publisher. Co-Op: The Co-Op Game is exactly this type of niche game.

We’ve got lots of originality this month on Kickstarter. Whether it’s a clever twist on an old favorite, or something with a unique genesis story, there is no shortage of interesting campaigns.

It is rare for me to binge on a board game, but that is exactly what happened after I got my hands on 5-Minute Dungeon. After sinking several hours into a game that usually only lasts 5 minutes, I realized I was hooked.

Pirates, aliens, and witch doctors, oh my! This month on Kickstarter, check out how the villainous side of tabletop gaming operates with a wide selection of casual, family-friendly titles.
