The Kickstarter for Golem Arcana – The Digitally Enhanced Miniatures Board Game – funds for half a million US$, at more or less the last minute! The game – Golem Arcana – isn’t truly my cup of tea (from what I see), but the campaign for it shows wonderfully that it is worth fighting for a Kickstarter campaign, even if it doesn’t fund in multiple 1000% on the first day or two. (Read More)

Golem Arcana is a new miniatures game that melds physical tabletop gaming with the electronic assistance of an iPad, currently seeking funds through Kickstarter. Through the use of “microdot” encodings on the board, miniatures, and status cards, players scan items to instruct the iPad of current moves; battle outcomes can either be determined with traditional dice, or electronically. The upshot of all this is many of the benefits of iPad gaming: less required reading or rules arguments without sacrificing gameplay on the altar of simplicity. (Read More)
