Nearly one and a half million euros at the time of writing these lines, for an initial objective of €200,000, the fundraising campaign for the DRG board game is already a success. The production of the game is over, specifies Ghost Ship Games, which therefore prefers to use Kickstarter as a means of pre-ordering the game before its release in December 2022. More than ten thousand contributors have already answered the call. Broadly speaking, the board game intends to take up the principles that have driven video games for almost four years now, by asking a team of up to four players to cooperate to achieve different objectives, recover minerals and resist attacks. endless monsters. Games should last 60 to 150 minutes.
We thus find the four classes of the video game, each of which has unique weapons and abilities that you will have to learn to use to emerge victorious from each expedition, the course of which is randomly generated thanks to tiles with interchangeable positions. All the abilities and equipment of the different players are symbolized by cards to be drawn and used during the game, and the main types of glyphids are represented by miniatures that you can paint yourself. The random factor, mining, special abilities and the use of space will apparently have a very important place in the design of the parties, and the first feedback from the specialized press suggests that the initial wish has been respected.
And the best part of the story is that all of the stretch goals are already exploded by the amount raised, offering players who pre-order more figures, missions, maps and Deluxe elements in the final version of the game. Its release is expected for the month of December 2022, and the versions standards are sold from 65 euros. Go to the Kickstarter page to find all the information and first images of the set.
