Hi BGDF,

Raiders is the latest kickstarter from friend and fellow New Zealand-based designer Shem Phillips. It's been great seeing the development of this game firsthand, and I'm happy to say it's resulted in a brilliant take on a viking game. I'm not alone in thinking so:

Rahdo just Ran it through, and thought it was great, too.

The game is dripping with bright, beautiful art and fast game-play. For only $42 US, shipping is included WORLDWIDE. Which is great for remote folks like myself....although in this case I'll probably just pick up my copy at Shem's place.

Back it. You know you want it.

Why did you go and tell us about this one?!?!?!

Rich,

In all seriousness, thanks! While I'll back a number of projects throughout the year (The Dice Tower, Reading Rainbow, etc.), I find only 1-2 board games to which I'll become a Backer. Last year, City of Iron's expansion "Experts and Engines" and "Historia" had the honors. This year, Raiders will be the first game for me off of Kickstarter.

Cheers,
Joe

Glad for it!

Joe - that's great news! I'm always uncomfortable shilling things, but I have played this game quite a bit already and it really deserves wider recognition. Shem is a super guy, and is quite content running a "boutique" design shop. That means you'll never see his games on a store shelf, because he's not interested in that. Thing is, Raiders is a game that DESERVES to be in many more collections than it's bound to be in coming from a New Zealand boutique designer.

So glad you're on board his campaign.
