Not one. Not two. But three. That's how many games Dyskami Publishing is looking to produce with their latest Kickstarter campaign.

From the campaign:

Welcome to the Kickstarter for the first three Tri-Stat System Mini-Game Boxed Sets – a new line of compact and complete role-playing adventure games that are compatible with Dyskami Publishing's flagship BESM Fourth Edition anime and manga RPG.

Naked Court. Don't worry. It's a family-friendly game. It takes its inspiration from the old fairytale, The Emperor's New Clothes. You know, the one where the Emperor thinks he's wearing the absolute best clothing ever made but he's just strutting around airing his junk for everyone to see. Well, you won't see anyone's junk on these cards, but the Emperor definitely has a way of starting a fashion trend. The game is up on Kickstarter now.

From the campaign:

Naked Court: The Card Game is a fast moving, family friendly, and strategic card game based on the classic fairy tale “The Emperor’s New Clothes”. ✂️👑 ...With some very modern twists! Players must first assemble their Courts during "The Royal Entrance", then attempt to stay clothed as your opponents do their darndest to denude your Royals in "The Battle Royale"; because in Naked Court...when you're NAKED, you're OUT!

The game features male, female, and androgynous characters (Royal Cards) that are limited in their fashion-choices (Attire Cards) depending on which gender they identify as. For instance, a male Royal will only wear male, and androgynous Attire. While an androgynous Royal may be clothed in Attire of all genders. Same goes for Attire pretty much. For instance, a female Attire Card may be placed exclusively on female, and androgynous Royals. But a male Royal just refuses to wear that!

The Attire Cards are also the currency in the game. Consider all Attire Cards in your Court as fair game to be used to pay the Tailor's Fee ✂️ The Tailor Twins then go to work against your rivals, or come to the aid of your own Court.

So, you might've heard that the world... it's in a bit of trouble as climate change takes hold. But what can you or I do about it? Well, you might not think that "play board games" is an option, but it is if that board game is Solutions, a new game all about trying to figure out what we're capable of. The new game is up on Kickstarter now.

From the campaign:

It’s a race against time to fight climate change. You and your friends must work together to reduce global emissions before it’s too late! As you strategically deploy climate solutions, you'll need to think critically and discuss with your teammates to avoid climate catastrophe. But watch out for dangerous feedback loops and global climate events! Will your team save our planet, or will you break the thermometer as global temperatures soar?

Solutions is an intense, non-traditional game based on discussion (like Cards Against Humanity but for climate change!) Designed for and tested with gamers, non-gamers, educators, climate experts, and even those who have no particular interest in climate.

The campaign's making its way to 2x funded with 22 days left to go.

Even more previews are up for the upcoming Summoner Wars faction, the Phoenix Elves. Have yourselves a look at the Ember Beast as well as Holleas in this look from Plaid Hat Games.

From the preview:

Welcome back summoners! The Phoenix Elves are back with more fiery goodness, this time conjuring up the very essence of fire itself!

Ember Beast represent the spreading and explosive nature of fire. They can be summoned adjacent to any Ember unit you control, giving an added threat to any units wielding the power of fire. This special placement plays well into their next ability, giving them extra reach for spreading Wildfire!

Holleas is here to support your team of Ember units. Similar to Ember Beast being able to be summoned next to Ember units, Holleas starts spreading the flames herself, allowing all your Ember units to be summoned next to her. Better yet, they’ll get a strength boost if they stick together!

Phoenix Elves are the next new faction coming for Summoner Wars. As is their custom, Plaid Hat is showing off pairs of cards at a time for their deck. Have a look at two more.

From the preview:

Welcome back summoners! The Phoenix Elves are known for their flashy swordplay in combat, dishing out deadly counterattacks to those who step too close to the flames...

Fanessa is a champion that excels in crowded melee combat. Keeping her around against a swarm of smaller attacking units is sure to spell disaster for them, with Riposte punishing each unit that dares to face her down!

Divine Retribution takes things one step further, with Maldaria providing an aura effect around nearby allies. This spell can cause your opponent to really second guess how much they should be attacking on their next turn.
