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.
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.
