Boardgames, Card Games and RPG Adventures (Board Games)

[QualityChimp]

It's a tricky one because whereas I understand where you're coming from, these things are usually the true essence of Kickstarter where someone has an idea, floats it with people and if enough people back it, they get the funds to produce it, normally once.

On the flipside, it annoys me to see people with a game from a shop that I backed and am still waiting for.

Anyway, Asura, you're in luck here because Kozz has recently done a sequel game, Dark Tomb: The Ice Chasers:

You can late pledge and you can buy the first two games in the series using the pledge-manager (I think!).

Weird question QualityChimp, does each player need a tin? Or is 1 tin for 5 players?

I ask because it says 1-5 player, and the Kickstarter offers to buy multiple tins.

I've backed a couple of other games, thinking I'd play at my lunch, but still haven't.
Boardgames are treated with the same level of wishful enthusiasm as videogames for me, it appears.

Anyway, I backed Roll a Coaster and that's live now, so I should have access to the pdf files.
I'll try and download and play it.


I've got a load of dice, so I backed the cheaper print 'n' play version of Five By Five.


Paper Apps Galaxy is a lovely little notepad with a bunch of solo scenarios where you can roll a dice or even the pencil that has 1-6 on the sides!
Sadly, the shipping was more than the game, so I backed the PnP again and need to print the levels off, but it's definitely missing something without the pad and dice-pencil.


Heroes of the Sanctum looks great and I've had a look at it a few times as it's really small adventure game that's got some great artwork and isn't luck-based.
It was a bit of a layered crowdfunding campaign where the base game was a decent price (£21) but there were lots of other bits that could've bumped the price up - Multiplayer expansion, Epic expansion, Comic expansion and base game bundle which cost (£59), losing that budget-friendly price tag.
They're doing a sequel at some point in 2025 if you're interested in that or this game:

Finally, I've backed another solo game, that I've not got yet called 20 Strong: Tanglewood, which looks interesting and was fairly cheap.
I probably shouldn't have backed it though, looking at this post and my shelf of shame...
Plays like a compact Slay The Spire, I'm told!

I'm so sorry, I didn't see this at the time.
Mentally, I thought you were asking about "Heroes of the Sanctum" and its sequel's release date, but you were asking about Dark Tomb.

In answer to your question, up to 5 players can play with just one copy, with 4 playing co-operatively and one controlling the monsters. The players get a player card and cube each.

Although I've realised you weren't asking, I've already copied the link for the next HotS game, Kickstarting on the 29th April.

It's fine I actually went for one of the tins in the end. Looking to play it soon!
