It was Dodos Riding Dinos First race where you said, “Who is this game not for? If you don’t like having fun, if you don’t like families, if you don’t like being around people who like having fun!” It was such a good laugh lol. And i played DRD with my son and nephew for the first time yesterday it was great fun! Ended up playing 3 times back to back. Thank you for your work and content Chris!! Love your channel.
Thanks for showing off these up and coming games! This excites me for 2025 board games. I like how you don’t cover what everyone else covers. Keep it going 👍
My most anticipated campaign for '25, so far, is Hell: Legends. Master of Orion: Ad Astra & The Lord of the Ice Garden - Anniversary Edition are also interesting. Dragons Down reprint and expansion is a definite must back for me. Edit: Should Sword & Sorcery for Teburu happen in' 25, then that would be a through the roof hype rocket.
It's funny that you're saying about possibilities of ISS vanguard reiteration, while it hasn't been fully delivered yet. I know everybody has long forgotten about the game, but we, single wave lang backers are still waiting 😅
Im looking forward to Trismegestus Kickstarter deluxe version since it looks to be confirmed. That’s probably the only game I will kickstart this year.
The only game I'm considering from this set is Foxpaw. I'm sure there will be many big surprise campaigns launched throughout the year so I'm not concerned about a dearth of interesting (for me) campaigns. The funny thing is that I have 23 "coming soon" campaigns I'm currently following but looking through them I'll probably only back 1-3 of them.
I was far more selective about my purchases last year, but some of the games on this list definitely intrigue me. I have everything from Massive Darkness 1 and 2 so I don't know if I really need more. It also really needs a way to organize and make setup faster, especially with all the content already available. CMON has also teased Marvel Invasions, but I would assume that's going to be a 2nd version of Marvel Zombies, although I'd love something a little more tactical/mission based with the Marvel IP. I have a major weakness for Marvel, so I will probably want to grab that if possible. I think Final Titan and Onward looks pretty interesting, but I already own Guards of Atlantis 2. Do I really need another MOBA style game? haha My big wish for 2025 is that someone will make something great with the Dragonball IP.
LOTR Confrontation is one I am looking foward to. That said, for what they have been saying the "Deluxe" edition is going to be delulu... so I will probably wait for the retail one which they have anounce as well. Final Titan feels like a single character ultimate showdown brawler like Smash Up or Unmatched... and I think I might like it (Dracula reference, Conan and a possible Gunslinger western-like character... yeah... this might be right up my alley).
Iirc, CTG has planned an expansion to Elder Scrolls: BotSE in late 2025. That should be their largest campaign this year, on top of smaller campaigns such as Dragons of Ethchinstone and 20 Strong:Nemesis
I want to like MD2, I really do but the game is to easy and yes "beer and pretzels" I get it but it still it feels way too easy. I really do hope there is some harder variant .
Sometimes I play a game in my head (for free) “how much would I need to earn annually to back/purchase _______?” $1,000 now for some deluxe games I may or may not be interested in later? I’m not saying I’d need to be Bezos but I would at least need to know him.
I have more Massive Darkness, 1 and 2 than I am ever going to need. I doubt that I have used more than about 40% of it so far and so I need to ignore the new campaign?!
As a big fan of the Berserk manga, Monolith is suposed to launch a board game for it on Kickstarter early this year (Q1). I am excited for it.

The same happened to me. I'm really grateful for that recommendation. Bought it to play with my nephews, and they (and their parents) love it.
Some good stuff. Stay warm Chris.

The 2nd campaign of Dragons Down is opening in just a couple days - I'm really looking forward to that!
Really?! Me, too!!!! 😉
Such an amazing game. So happy I can get a copy for myself.
Formaggio gonna be big this year
Looking forward to details on Gale Force 9's super-deluxified version of Dune that should go live this year.

Games on my radar GI Joe: Opertion Cobra, Reichbusters Reloaded, and Champions of Rokugan. That's a lot of minis. Lol

Dunno if these would count But i'm looking forward to Black Orchestra and Earth Under Siege Reprints + Expansions
I’m interested in Onward (although GoA II is arriving soon), Terminus Frontier (launches in Feb) and Fateforge.
Regarding hubworld aidalon, the pamphlet explaining how to play the game is in the EBR discord. So it is posted somewhere. The game looks sick af.

Can't complain about the marvel zombieicide as I won the devours pledge LV on A raffle. Only cost me 40$. Went to a Good cause too..

No interest for Don't Starve the Board game or Champions of Wind and Fire?
Zombicide pink unicorns, Cthulhu DMD: Kong, Marvel X, Y, and Z, Birmingham Duel, 0:54
We will do our best with Foxpaw an Gamefound 🦊
Blasphemous is another game I'm looking forward to.
I couldn't find final titan on kickstarter?
its on gamefound
Skipped 20 strong the first 2 times, but may get the next one, other than that so far im safe
Already stopped backing anything after doing this for 10 years. Thanks for the fish - so to speak.

Chris should I back stalker?

Thanks Chris
Monsterpolypse backer!!! Full pledge....worst kickstarter back I have on the resume.
I have more Massive Darkness, 1 and 2 than I am ever going to need. I doubt that I have used more than about 40% of it so far and so I need to ignore the new campaign?!
TIL I’ve been saying Skytear wrong
Runefire?
I heard that Foxpaw is using AI art unfortunately 😞 it stinks, cuz the theme appeals to me a lot, but I can’t support it
Fine by me, not a deal breaker for certain game types. I say embrace the technology and bring cool mechanistic games at a cheaper price.
Honestly, i don't care as long as i like the art
I will not back anything. I will not back anything. I will not back anything. There, I said it three times, so it must come true! 🧞
Buttt it can be a really good game 😆
I will wait for what I’ve preordered first.
