Awesome! Thanks again!

I got one of his previous games & haven't played it yet as I haven't set the time aside to sit down & cut the counters out. The game I got was printed on thin card & all fit in a standard letter envelope. Interesting idea to keep the costs low. But as it wasn't ready to play straight away I haven't played it.

Just remember that the retail version comes with much less than the Kickstarter link I originally posted.

Played this once ( a guy in my game group spent a boatload kickstarting it), and I wasn't impressed. He wanted to try a further along mission, one against Stay Pufft, and our guys were pretty much leveled up most of the way at the start of that mission. Kind of boring and disappointing.

The Walking Dead: All Out War Kickstarter is now live.
This is from Mantic who did Mars Attacks, DeadZone, Kings of War, and several other extremely successful KSs. Looking forward to seeing more of the ruleset.

It may be a fine game, but if I wanted the experience of The Walking Dead in a board game, I would play Dead of Winter. That game felt to me like being in the show.

it's well documented that I'm not a fan of the zombie genre, but this game is awesome!

I was excited for this, but $125 for a game I don't know any rules about, and doesn't include NEGAN (WHAT THE HECK, it's All Out War!), I can't justify it.

The game has like 20 miniatures without stretch goals. I'm sure it may be a fine game, but if I've ever seen a game overpriced, this is it. They're totally banking on the IP to sell copies. I love the Walking Dead, but this is nuts.

In other KS news, I just late pledged

Arcadia Quest:Inferno

. Base collection comes with 36 minis and a TON of other components. With all stretch goals met, it will ship with 78 minis for $100. I think it's a neat take on the skirmish game. PVE and PVP at the same time. Really wish I would have found their first Arcadia Quest campaign. I don't think the base set itself is a great value, but the extras put it over the top.

I wasn't very impressed with Maniac Games after I pledged for part of their Mars Attacks kickstarter.

What issue did you have with the MA KS? I backed it and was pretty pleased. Stuff came more or less on time and components were cool, game was well designed and fun.

@SpriteMichaeler Arcadia Quest is a lot of fun. I have the base game and expansion. It's definitely best suited for a campaign instead of one off games, but it's a great mix of PVE/PVE

They were terrible about posting any updates even though Kickstarter requires a monthly one. They promised a new set of WWII army figures, then tried to substitute in some other companies product later on when they decided the profit margins were good enough to deliver what they offered. I ordered the building walls, but they didn't send enough connectors to actually assemble the walls they provided. I had to ask them to send me more connectors. Customer service took forever for them to get back to me when dealing with the army figure swap issue. All around it just seemed like they were more interested in grabbing up as much kick starter money as fast as possible while doing as little work as possible. I was under the impression that the prior kickstarter they had run still had not been completed and fulfilled when the launched the Mars Attack one. Had I known that at the time I never would have pledged with them. Bring one game successfully to market before you dive into a second one. Once you have a proven track record of success and have worked out all the kinks in the process, then you can start taking on multiple projects at a time.
