New York Bop by Ghetto Miniatures is getting relaunched on the 1st May, after coming so close to funding first time around, hopefully with a restructured campaign they will fund this time round.

New York Bop is a tabletop skirmish game set in the 1970s, gangs battle it out over a campaign map of the New York City boroughs or just in one-off games.

There are 4 starter gangs to choose from, with various pledges ranging from just PDF rules to create your own gang member.

Il post the start time once it has been determined by Ghetto Miniatures.

If I can find someone one of my friends to join in I'll be backing this.

What's the story with terrain? Is there any planned, or is there terrain already out there that works well with the game?

CAN YOU DIG IT! ... damn rights I can I'll be keeping my eye on this one

>Miniature game based on my favorite Cult movie.

Okay, now you have my attention.

I CAN DIG IT!

After a slight delay New York Bop is now LIVE ON KICKSTARTER and already 50% funded.

New York Bop is a tabletop skirmish game set in the 1970s, gangs battle it out over a campaign map of the New York City boroughs or just in one-off games.

There are 4 starter gangs to choose from, with various pledges ranging from just PDF rules to create your own gang member, every pledge comes with a free Exclusive Kickstarter miniature "Caesar".

The four starting gangs are The Braves, The Ballers, The Skins and The Black Cobras.

Ghetto miniatures are 28mm in scale from foot to eye level and each gang member miniature will have their own baseball style stats card.

A game of New York Bop is played with 8 gang members over a 3’ x 3’ battleground, Gang Warlords are the leaders and issue command orders to their street soldiers, event cards add an element of unpredictability to the game, as you never know when or what cards your rival is going to use to mess up your plans.

The rules will also contain full campaign rules and map, which will allow you to fight over the New York Boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and The Bronx, as you battle through the campaign you will be able to expand your gang and upgrade your member’s ranks and weapons.

I couldn't help but get my fingers stuck in Coke bottles while playing this game.

Neat, but where are the High Hats

Iain the project creator does have plans for an all female gang called the "Mollies" as well as Mafia youth gang called The Naploi Boys and various other gangs, but need to fund first and hopefully shouldnt be to much longer now as they are at 92% funded at the moment,

They are just over 90% funded.

There was an update going into detail on the stat cards.

"With the gang stat card we have went for a 70’s baseball card theme. The card gives you all the Bopper stats that will be used during the game. Each card will be the size of an ordinary playing card (2.5 x 3.5 inches) and can easily fit into gaming card protective sleeves.

As part of your pledge you will get a pdf for all of the figures that we will release for the Kickstarter. We will also have blank templates available on our website, so that you can make your own cards."*
