News:
Dungeonology: The Expedition SUPA HOT FIRE. Biggest KS this year ...also minis and 89 bucks.
Age of Civilizations-- Tiny epic civ basically. What I like about this one is all the stuff is addons. You can get a base game for like 27 bucks.
Games factory -- bankrupt. Kickstarter unfulfilled. Also polish distro of Roll for Galaxy, Dominion, Star Realms, Project Gaia and Kingdomino. CEO fled country. The story of this company could be a pretty great expansion for Escape Plan
