SeaFall_logo_300Rob Daviau, the designer of Risk Legacy, has partnered with Plaid Hat Games to co-publish SeaFall, a new legacy-style game. In SeaFall, five empires on the edge of the ocean in the Age of Sail, set out to explore the unknown. SeaFall is a medium-heavy weight game that is “reminiscent of a 4X game” (explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate): manage an empire by trading, fighting, building, and exploring. Like Risk Legacy, players will unlock cards with effects that expand and evolve the game world. The designer states that funding for SeaFall will probably begin in January or February on Kickstarter with an expected 2014 release. For more information on SeaFall, listen to the full announcement on the Plaid Hat Games Podcast, Episode 106, starting around 24:45.
