More chibi cuteness with Yōkai Quest on Kickstarter

One of our favourite games is Arcadia Quest by CMON, followed swiftly after by Super Dungeon Explore, so when we saw Yōkai Quest on Kickstarter, we just couldn't resist. It's already chock full of content with over 100 miniatures, and lots more up for grabs with great Stretch Goals.

Back it on Kickstarter

Look at some of the stuff you get!

You're in a good place with Mythic Battles: Pantheon

Our new favourite miniatures game on Kickstarter is Mythic Battles: Pantheon, a new skirmish game featuring the gods and heroes of Greek mythology.

We've watched and backed a lot of Kickstarters over the years, and this has to be one of the best-run, if not the best. Great communication with constant updates and novel use of the new live video stream feature (kudos to Leo for his hard work on this).

What sold us on the gameplay was the playthrough video by Beasts of War, which makes the game look like great fun indeed!

And, of course, scale is a big thing in this game, with gods towering over men, and the mighty titans even taller still. Maybe "miniatures" wasn't the right word...

Celebrate Halloween in style with Deep Madness

New on the tabletop gaming block, Diemension Games (sinister name, eh?) seems to have taken a leaf out of CMON's book to orchestrate a highly successful Kickstarter campaign for its debut miniatures board game Deep Madness.

The game follows the premise of investigators locked inside an underwater facility where things have gone wrong. They'll have to tackle the monstrosities beneath, their own mounting madness, and even wrestle with water in drowned chambers. This one is just dripping with theme.

Back it now on Kickstarter

There's a ton of value in this game, as shown by the pledge graphic below:

Gearing Up

Welcome to Game Gearbox, a new blog on board games and video games, helping you gear up for the table, PC, or console.

I'm particularly big on miniatures games, but we'll try anything, especially if it's heavy on theme.

For video games, I tend to stick to the good old-fashioned PC, but I'll branch out to console games if they strike our fancy.

So, sit back, crank those engines, and get ready for a hell of a ride.
