The most popular modern board painters are joining the massive Kickstarter campaign. You are called Return to the Dark Tower, a board game enabled by the operating system includes Rob Daviau (The Pandemic Legacy) and Isaac Childres (Gloomhaven) first. The basic game will cost you $ 125, and the campaign itself needs at least $ 850,000 to succeed. Published by Restoration Games (recently recalled Fireball Island), the campaign runs through February 4th.
The black tower it has been in production for almost three years, largely because of the special technology that drives the experience. In the center of its large circle board is a large, black plastic black obelisk. It looks just like a dice tower, but according to a Kickstarter video it hides a "round, engineered cycle with lighted glyphs." The cross section features many rooms with red LEDs. Tower control is a Bluetooth-enabled app, which means the smartphone will have to play.
“Return to the Dark Tower is always a new challenge,” said the campaign page. “The enemy in the tower, the tower system, and the enemy enemies you will encounter can combine and combine with thousands of combinations. Play the same again, or try a new one. ”
App-powered board games have seen a resurgence in recent years, a fantastic start with Fantasy Flight XCOM: Unknown Enemy, which began work at a Gen Con tabletop gaming convention in Indianapolis, Indiana in 2014. Many other games have followed, along with many startups trying to tap into the tabletop experience line somehow. Land Restoration Games, developed by Daviau and to publish the game, are moving in the opposite direction of the purpose of an electronic device designed The black tower.
"This game is about legal activists," wrote a co-editor in a personal email interview this morning. "I can never find in my wonderful dreams to make a game w ith a passion like madness."
“I say it like a person did Gloomhaven, ”Childres continued, referring to his role in a box that weighs about 20 pounds.
Original The black tower, published by Milton Bradley, came out 38 years ago. You may remember ads, presented by none other than Orson Wells. However, when that game was a handful of sales, Recovery Games already had a lot of potential. At press time the campaign had already raised more than $ 425,000.
"It's fun and exciting and challenging and full of exciting choices," continues Childres, "and I can't say that I am so excited to see all these blossoms come together into something so special and unique."
