Board Game News

Ok, I can't remember, have I shared this before?

I saw this on twitter a while back but I might have never gotten to share it: https://twitter.com/Capstone_Games/status/1236990979787415552

There's a link on there to Capstone's newsletter that shows an image of the player board too. I will include a picture of this in the comments below.

Here's a quick summary of the details though:

• You are designing an animal park where you will build animal attractions, introduce new animals to your zoo, and raise their offspring. Gameplay is straightforward as you have only two options on your turn: build a new enclosure in your zoo, or populate your zoo with more animals. But be sure to time your actions well since you want your zoo to benefit from as many animal breedings as possible. The first player to cover all the construction spaces on their zoo board with enclosures and attractions wins the game!
  
• 1 - 5 Players
• 30 - 60 Minutes
• Ages 10+
• SRP $39.95
  
• Retail Release: August 5, 2020 

Who's interested? Looks like it could be a great option for the family :D

On their last Kickstarter update for the #Pax Pamir (Second Edition) reprint, the Werhle brothers announced they would be holding a AMA on the r/boardgames community on reddit. This is happening today 11am-1pm cst. 

Interesting read from @jameystegmaier. One thing that stood out to me is that his reprint schedule might be on a more cautious footing. It might be a good time to get those Stonemaier games you've been wanting, but don't have yet. 

Of course this is one man, one company who is saying this. But I do wonder how other companies are responding. 

So I posted about out of print board games a while back. Well, looks like at least one of them, #Ginkgopolis, is making a return!

So, in light that I will soon be getting and trying out my own copy of #Root solo.... I was looking at the BGG forums about it... And found this. I thought some of you might be interested. 

Just got a email from werhlegig games announcing that it will come to Kickstarter March 10.

Mihajlo (the artist behind the North Sea and the West Kingdom trilogies) shared this on his page! This should be similar to #The North Sea Runesaga Expansion which aimed to tie in all of the games in the North Sea trilogy. I've heard that one felt like an afterthought but seeing that Shem and Sam continue to build on their past experiences, I wonder how this one will be.

If anything, I'm excited to try out #Architects of the West Kingdom once it arrives soon! Also curious how #Viscounts of the West Kingdom's Kickstarter campaign will be. I don't back Kickstarters in general but I do like Garphill Games' practices and enjoy seeing their growing success in the industry.
