Torg: Eternity is using Game On Tabletop for the Cyberpapacy crowdfund instead of Kickstarter.

I think they're going to find that this is a huge mistake. Kickstarter comes with some built-in advertising advantages, including via Kicktraq.

I received Edge of Darkness, and holy cow is it incredible. It is like, ultimate deckbuilder level. The art alone is outrageous. But the transparent cards are something else

And there are minis because the game is also worker placement



Oh I also got those marble things from France, people at work have been playing with them

I received 8-Bit Attack. But not the expansions -- we won't get those until March. Anyway, I set it up, played it solitaire some, it seems good

Although it is a co-op game with no traitor, and those are susceptible to quarterbacking

Not sure I agree, full co-ops like Pandemic seem much more quarterbacky than Betrayal and BSG in the full reveal phase.

by traitor i mean when there's a hidden player working against the others, not when there's a public antagonist like betrayal or BSG after cylons have revealed
