Kickstarter Tabletop Alert: File Those Building Permits in ‘Stack City’
January 14th
Stack City is a competitive game for 2 to 4 players, ages 14 and up, and takes about 75 minutes to play. It is planned to launch on Kickstarter in February, and currently the pledge level has not been set for a copy of the game. It is the first game from designer Quinn Biesinger and I was provided with a preview copy to review before the Kickstarter. In Stack City, you and your competitors take turns placing building pieces on a gameboard, following various placement rules. As the city takes shape, more powerful buildings come into play that increase your income and ultimately give you economy points to win the game. I first played Stack City at the SaltCON board game convention in Layton, Utah, and was excited to try it out with my game group before it hits Kickstarter. (Read More)

New ultra-compact Platypod tripod smashes its Kickstarter goal
January 12th
Platypod has launched a new Kickstarter project to fund its latest ultra-compact travel tripod: Delta. Platypods have long been a compelling option for photographers who want the smallest possible camera support when traveling light. Platypods consist of a compact yet sturdy aluminum plate supported by tiny metal feet. A standard 3/8-16 thread attachment on top of the plate lets you attach a standard tripod head, giving you a shooting platform capable of supporting a heavy full-frame camera and lens, while still being small enough to pack into almost any kit bag. What's more, an advantage of being so unlike a conventional tripod is it's stealthy and unlikely to contravene tripod restrictions in museums and other indoor public spaces. (Read More)
