Kickstart This! – Page 31 – Think Outside the Board

Category: Kickstart This!

The purpose of Kickstart This! is to alert our readers to Kickstarter campaigns entering their final week. These are the pick of the Kickstarter litter in our opinion, and if we could, we’d be personally backing every last one of these.

So take a look at these campaigns if they haven’t yet crossed your radar!

*Kickstart This! will be going on indefinite hiatus at the end of 2020. The Kickstarter-related content represented here (recommendations of current campaigns) has already been incorporated into the Twice-Monthly Update Videos. Please check out my Youtube channel, or continue to enjoy those videos as they’re posted here at this site.

Players strive to become the wealthiest of Cleopatra’s architects by constructing the most magnificent and valuable parts of her palace; trading in materials of dubious origin may help them build faster, but cut too many corners and they may find themselves being deprived of their riches or even offered as a sacrifice to the Cleopatra’s crocodile in honor of Sobek, the crocodile-god. This new Deluxe Edition features a redesigned, 3D palace and 2 expansions, also compatible with the first edition.
