Clans of Caledoniais the first game on the list that made it into my recent top ten games of all time. We really enjoy the optimisation and puzzliness in this game and think that with a few more plays it might become a staple of our collection.Ĥ. Viticulture is a game a wine making and worker placements, where your workers are assigned to actions in different seasons. Viticulture is a slightly older Kickstarter game that we only discovered recently. We're very excited for the Battles expansion that we backed on Kickstarter and that should be on our doorstep in the next few weeks!ĥ. It's just a balancing game, but the app integration and scoring mechanisms, as well as the cross-breeding and 'got to catch 'em all' mentality, really makes this game one we love. We're particularly excited for the upcoming Rise of Fenris expansion which should get the game onto our table consistently.ħ.Beasts of Balance is an app integrated dexterity game that we were addicted to for a while and still enjoy as a game that will always put a smile on our faces. Although the area control and conflict are not for us, there is enough board space for two players to build up quite independently and Scythe is a game we really enjoy and need to play some more. Scytheis a game that we enjoy most as a two player game where it becomes primarily an engine building with a very innovative action selection mechanism. Not only is a great deck-builder but it also makes it relatively easy to make words with wild cards, meaning that it's less agonising than many word games.Ĩ. We've always loved deck-building games and Paperback brings some great mechanics into it, including special abilities, combos and the balance of building up your deck with cool cards and balancing the moment to start buying victory points. Paperbackis a great word building deck-building game from Tim Fowers. I wish we'd backed this on Kickstarter because we'd have more scenarios to play, but hopefully the expansions will be released soon!ĩ. We had great fun roleplaying a dysfunctional couple and exploring the different scenarios in the box. Amy plays roleplaying games, but I do not and yet the real world setting of Fog of Love made me let go of my inhibitions and really get into character. Fog of Love just scrapes onto the list because it is so unique. Here's a list of our top ten favourites.ġ0. Since we came to Kickstarter late, we were surprised when researching for this list, at how many of the games on our shelves that we bought in retail editions, originally launched on Kickstarter. Sure, some big, successful publishers are now using Kickstarter as a pre-order system, but some of the most successful Kickstarter games are still from small independent sources. The success of Gloomhaven and other very highly rated games like Scythe and The 7th Continent, really shows how Kickstarter can launch a small designer or publisher to success through crowdfunding. This has led to some difficult decisions, some of which we discussed in a blog after our first 6 months as Kickstarter backers.Ĭurrently the number one game on BoardGameGeek was a Kickstarter project, something which would've been unthinkable just a couple of years ago. Since then we've been trying to stick to backing a maximum of one game each month, no matter how enticing some of the games are. We backed our first board game Kickstarter project back in January 2017.
