Into the Black: Boarding Party
Board an enemy star ship, loot and plunder, complete your objectives and survive!
My Thoughts
Who doesn't want to be a space pirate! After being on Kickstarter twice before, it looks like this game may finally be funded. [Edit: This campaign is fully funded and checking off its stretch goals one by one]
You and your 3 space pirate friends are exploring a not-so-abandoned spacecraft in search for loot. Everyone knows that pirates are selfish fellows, which is why each player has their own secret, personal goal to accomplish, as well as a primary mission for yer crew. Occasionally, one of your so-called friends is actually a mutinous, traitorous scalawag.
Will you be able to get enough loot, stay alive long enough, and root out a potential traitor in time to win?
This Kickstarter will end March 29th and the minimum pledge to get a copy is $59CAD (Canadian Dollars ~$46USD).
This game, created by James Campbell, is being published by I Will Never Grow Up Gaming, that not only designs games, but reviews and can help you publish your own game.
**Edit**
Kickstarter Received!
I got my copy of Into the Black and the components looked great, I was surprised at how many different characters they included in the game. I'm guessing that they were mostly stretch goals, but I can tell a lot of creative energy went into developing unique characters, events, equipment and goals.
Unfortunately, the rulebook was a little lacking. I felt like I had to make too many inferences on how to play the game, and I think I might have made a few errors because my first play was clunky and included too much upkeep. Turn order was not super intuitive and the AI took forever to resolve.
I really hope that they come out with a how to play video because I really want this to be a great game, and I know that there is one in there somewhere!
