Yesterday Gamelyn Games launched Heroes of Land, Air & Sea on Kickstarter, a 2-hour 4X style game that’s easy to learn and play. I believe that promise as the game being designed by Scott Almes, designer of the Tiny Epic series of games.

Heroes of Land, Air & Sea is a classic Orcs vs Human game. Being a 4X game, players will have to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate, grabbing territory, managing resources, and crushing their opponents. The game handles 2-4 players but can be expanded to with Faction Packs to accommodate 5-6 players.

Everything here looks like it’ll be top notch, including the pre-painted miniatures. That’s not something we’re used to seeing in Kickstarter projects. Of course you’ll need to pledge at the $100 level to get the game included with the miniatures. Pledges at lower levels will get you die cut, cardboard standies.

If you’re interested in the game, go make a pledge! It’s already funded, so you’re sure to get a copy when it’s completed.

Fans of Gamelyn’s Tiny Epic series rejoice! Tiny Epic Western has hit Kickstarter, and is already funded. Like other TE games, Western aims to pack a lot of punch in around 30 minutes, all in a tiny package. Since it’s already funded, you can make sure you get your own copy of the game for only an $18 pledge.

Tiny Epic Western combines poker with worker placement, all around a wagon-wheel play area setup.

I’m a huge fan of Tiny Epic Kingdoms and Tiny Epic Defenders, and cannot wait to get my hands on the latest in the series.
