Mage Company: Will you Survive the Apocalypse? Check the Raid and Trade Kickstarter

I have just stumbled upon this ongoing succesful Kickstarter by Mage Company. They are currently funding their new boardgame called Raid & Trade though the popular crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. I have read through the Kickstarter and thought that you might be interested as the boardgame concept and artwork looks great and the game even includes five character miniatures!

Mage Company: A post apocalyptic game of negotiation, exploration, & tough decisions. Be the last one who will survive and enter the Golden City! Mage Company proudly presents a new post apocalyptic game for 3-5 players by Charalampos Tsakiris and Malte Kühle.

From the ashes of a devastating third World War, a precious few Golden Cities emerge offering hope to those who struggle for survival in the wastelands. Players explore the ruins of the modern world completing quests, honing their skills and maneuvering for social status in order to claim a precious spot as a citizen with a Golden City. To enter the Golden city you must: Become an expert: Reach 20 skill points, Serve the city: Fulfill three secret quests or Become a nobleman: Get the most possible character points

In each turn, the players can spend action points to do several actions such as moving through the city, raiding buildings, attacking other players, and more. Each player has a specific skill — mechanic, trader, electrician, bodyguard and medic — and has his own unique items to build; those items can be traded off against other items or resources.

The board of the game is formed by 9 different tiles. All over the map, the players find different buildings which they can raid. Each time a player raids a building, a raid card of this type of building is taken and read, which leads to specific circumstances taking place. The player will be made to make various decisions including important moral decisions! Upon resolving the various decisions, you will receive character points. The choices you make, for good or for bad, will lead to specific perks and advantages (or disadvantages) during the progress of the game. Check the ongoing Kickstarter here and make sure to spread the word as this one looks promising!

Mage Company: Machina Arcana, Steampunk Horror Boardgame Kickstarter

Mage Company: Machina Arcana is a cooperative steampunk horror board game for 1-4 players. An immersive and dark, turn-based tactical game. Players take on the role of explorers that are thrown into dreadful halls, scratching for survival and progressing through the chapters of one from many horror stories. Even if they manage to stay alive till the end of the story, they will face a special mini game at the finale of each scenario.

A novel way of interacting with environment, inventory, combat mechanics, tactical and storytelling experience all connected in order to give you a complete immersion and replay value. But beware! A horde of unique and terrifying monsters are bent only to destroying your party. If that isn’t enough, Horror itself disrupts and hinders any remaining hope in these comfortless chambers. 

Enjoy the stunning art and dark visuals of the game, let yourself be entranced in the gripping story and peculiar events. There is no need for game master, no special conditions based on player count, a modifiable duration and difficulty setting. But one thing is always certain - every session is different, huge content and a game that is easy to learn but hard to master.
