CoolMiniOrNot will release a new steampunk board game The World of Smog: On Her Majesty’s Service in August 2015. The project is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter.
The game is set in the steampunk World of Smog created by Panache Animation. Players are gentlemen of various clubs, tasked by Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, with navigating the underground shadow market to acquire four Artefacts and return to the surface to gain royal honor. Players navigate the rotating tiles that make up the ever-shifting maze of the shadow market, attempting to acquire artifacts, while dealing with the agents of the Shadow Master. Players must continuously navigate the board, manipulate the shadow agents, and acquire the proper elements to return to the surface.
The box contains: a game board with 12 rotating tiles, 4 gentlemen figures, 4 gentlemen dashboards, 6 agent figures, 6 agent cards, 24 Special Action cards, 16 Artefact cards, 8 Secret Gate cards, 13 Secret Combination cards, 30 coin tokens, 30 Hourglass tokens, 16 Ether counters, a first player/Shadow Master token and rules. The game is for 2 – 4 players. MSRP is $60.00.
The short, 10 day Kickstarter has raised $35,336 from 767 backers ($46.07/backer average) as of this writing, and attained its $25,000 goal in under 3 hours.
In August
