(or here’s a list of what launched yesterday that might deserve a closer look… and Project Titles now feature links to their campaigns!)

Summary: “Skyline Express is a family board game. On your turn pick a passenger from the waiting line and place them in your carriage. Sounds easy, right? Not necessarily. In order to win, you need to concentrate and control the constantly changing situation on the board. Observing the actions of other players, adjusting your strategy to the current round, and making sure you fill individual passengers’ preferences shows that becoming a manager of an aerial train is not an easy task. The game uses familiar mechanisms such as pattern building, set collection, tile placement and action selection. Intended to appeal to fans of games such as Azul, Sagrada and Reef.” Also available in the campaign: the Bags & Belongings Expansion and the Roll and Write game.
