I'd like to give this one a try, as i like the MOBA games but lack the dedication to hover over the computer to play these days.

The deal clincher for me will be if there's some sort of Horde mode/ AI swarms you can run, as I fear this will not see as much play in my house as I'd like.

I'm wondering if they will have stat/ carry over campaign play.

Also fishmen.

I am interested so long as the quality of the miniatures stays high for this. They are really great sculpts and it would be a shame to lose their definition with a poor cast or product material.

I must know more. Why are you doing this to me?? My only concern is it being only pirate themed. I love the high seas (im from norfolk va after all) but i hope it doesnt constrict what characters are created, that being said it could be awesome to see where it stretches. Will this be a kickstarter? Please tell me it will if this is going to be as awesome as it looks i want tons of pieces for it

I might be interested in this, depending on how big... or small this is. After a pile of money on Kingdom Death, Zombicide Season 3 and Wrath of Kings kickstarters with a large price tag are starting to lose their appeal and would like to get what I paid for before I put more money out there.

1. Pretty sure it's a KS
2. There are multiple crews, all with separate ships that act as their "base". Last I heard it was around 12.
3. The plastic should be similar to the phase 2 Zombicide plastic we saw in the artists boxes. Harder and great to paint with good detail.
4. There is AI that operates the swarms but I'm not sure how/if it'll work for 1P.

I'll let Mr Black talk about the rest because he certainly knows more than I do.

I think it started in the Guest Artist boxes. They're a firmer plastic that appear to hold a bit sharper detail.

It wouldn't surprise me if they used the same material as they're gonna be using for The Others, though. That material is incredible.

If you are rebooting the old 'Ron and Bones' miniatures, I would love to see these guys show up in the game;

Mary Gold, Cortes or J.A. Bones, El Marques, Rick Crazy, Lazy Earl and Davy Red.

I noted down the sculpts I really loved when I went looking for them, but couldn't find them anywhere. So if they show up in this, or have similar models for the game, I will be really happy

Hopefully some of the KS exclusive player characters will be Zombies so we can make that happen.

Speaking of "boutique" really wish CMON would continue producing their resin versions of the Wrath of Kings models. They were crisp. Fragile (naturally) but beautiful. They look great unpainted. Shame.

If they are doing something hobby related, perhaps a proper carrying case for models, brushes, paints, etc. the battlefoam does not suit my needs. I jerry-rigged and art student case for m use but models flop around a bit too much, even with the hot glued foam.

The resin Wrath models are great. It would be really cool to see a collectors edition version of some of them come out, but If they're doing the full line in plastic now it may not be the direction they want. Who knows!

Could someone describe what a "MOBA Style" board game is? Have they laid this out clearly / is that their own description for it?

I know what the video games are, or at least, generally speaking, having seen a few friends that are into them... but I'm not sure what it means when applied to a board game. The same as Zombicide, I would imagine... or if it's different, what is different?



Coming Soon: Rum and Bones (MOBA Style Boardgame) @ 2014/09/20 02:58:41


Post by: cincydooley


Its a lil diff.

Based on the gameplay I've played, it's like this:

-- Each team has a bunch of heroes that you can use that have different powers
-- On the board there are also creeps which have automated movement and attacking (not unlike Zombicide)
-- Heroes can purchase spells/abilities from a store with the money they get from killing creeps
-- Heroes can also use special abilities unique to that character and listed on their card using the money they get from creeps.
-- Game is played to a particular morale point total. Points are awarded for killing other heroes as well as taking out "base" points.

Honestly, when I played it, it felt VERY much like a MOBA. There were definitely some kinks to iron out, but I liked it a lot.

Thanks for clarifying, I really didn't get what they meant when they said MOBA. Never really seen a board game like this, not sure I am into pirates but its something to keep an eye on...

For skirmish games, or any games where base to base contact may be necessary, I really dislike figures that overhang the base by that much. Great for a paint and display fig, crappy for use in a game.

I also try this. Sometimes unsuccessfully, but with my aim to trim the amount of ks that I get involved with, I've certainly been trying much harder recently.

But, yeah. Agree with tides that seeing a production sample, at least before the end of the campaign, would be great. And would see me much more likely to pledge.

Interested so far, however. Looks good.

I really wish CMON would produce there miniatures in resin as a separate purchase on their store. Not economical for somethings but would be nice to buy some of the Rum and Bones or Wrath of Kings. It's a lengthy process so I don't expect them to have everything in stock all the time. Perhaps a "print on demand/vote" and cycle though some of their models.

Quite a few. I would say ~2/3 or more.

I have 6 or 7 i THINK.

Most of them are nice, blood child is by far my favorite. Pig people are kind of fun. The Hardross have the coolest ideas but fall short in execution and poses, especially the Deep Caller. He just stands there like "What ever Bro".

How long has this been getting teased now?

I'm wondering when they'll be rolling it out. Maybe once they've finished shipping the bulk of Arcadia Quest and whatever else they've got left to ship (barring Wrath of Kings, sadly)?



Coming Soon: Rum and Bones (MOBA Style Boardgame) @ 2014/10/16 17:33:59

I'd guess its the next one to roll out.

They just got done shipping Dogs of War and are completing Arcadia now.

I'd say it's either this or The Others, though I'd lean towards this since we haven't seen any Others teasers in a bit.

Be interesting to see how this one is laid out. I get the impression that each faction is going to have a considerable amount of "stuff" that comes with it.

Post by: CMoN_MrBlack


Hello laddies, Mr. Black here, and I've got a spoiler here for you!

Let's take a look at the card for the Wellsport Quartermaster, or Mistress in this case, MISS MAGS!

So looking at the card, let's review the information we have here:

1. The Faction Logo will appear in the left corner, showing what Faction the Hero in question belongs to. Next to that will also be their Role on the ship- in Mag's case, its Quartermaster!

Quartermasters support the rest of the Heroes and crew- they usually aren't the best fighters on your ship, but they work to make everyone else better!

2. This shows how much HP the Hero has. Take damage equal to your HP and you're KO'ed!

3. Each Hero has 3 Actions, which can be Attacks, Abilities, or Reactions. Here we see Mag's first action is an Attack, "Payday". The Coin on the far right shows how many Coins she would have to discard to use the ability- in this case, it's 0.

Now, since it's an attack, it also lists a number of dice to be rolled (in this case [4]), what those dice hit on (again in this case [4+], and its range (Only a [1] here!)

Lastly, we see Payday has the effect that, whatever its used, 1 Deployed Hero gains 1 Coin.

4. Miss Mag's second action is an Ability, Second Wind. She'll have to discard 3 Coins to use it, but when it takes effect 1 Hero gets to heal and remove any nasty Conditions they might have had!

5. Lastly, we see Miss Mag's third action is another Ability, Wellsport Fury. This one costs 3 Coin as well, but instead of healing a Hero they instead gain some bonuses to their attacks for the entire turn! Deadly!

Remember- each Hero is unique in Rum and Bones, and they all come with a variety of abilities to help you take over the enemy ship!

I am definitely interested in seeing the model for the Kraken, if there is one!

Little Tom is up today!

Unlike the cards we've seen so far, we see that for Tom's third ability he has a REACTION.

Unlike Attacks and Actions, Reactions happen... Well, whenever their trigger happens!

In Tom's case here he's going to punish any enemies that try to get away from him by crippling their movement.

Deadlier still, being a Brute, Tom has a wealth of HP and his Clever Frenzy only gets deadlier the more damage he has suffered!

Unless you're like me and have all of your shopping done by next weekend

Also, remember with CMoN KSes, you can always pledge small to get into the PM and add later...

Jussayin....

@RITides - I'm pretty sure I was told there would be a Kraken model. In the demo games I've had, they always used the Orsund Cavalry model from Wrath of Kings, which is a sweet squid model unto itself!

December's fine with me.

I'm in the camp of getting my shopping done way in advance. Hell, we had the kid's stuff taken care of last spring.


Of course, the big issue for me is what kinds of crews will be on offer- it's going to take something a bit more unique and exciting than run of the mill pirates (or those of the undead variety) to tempt my family to play. They just aren't fans of pirates, regardless of how appealing the gameplay may be.

Based on the previous metal line, I think we can expect:

1. An "Islanders/Voodooy" faction
2. A "French-style" Faction
3. Maybe Gobliny Pirate Faction

tempting very tempting.

I love pirates.

But with Norsgard, possibly shieldwolf miniatures in early 2015 and another big KS coming in 2015... not sure if I will have enough gaming bucks.

Conan? That's the only other real "big" one I can think of.

Darklight could be a big one if they play there cards right.

The Others will almost certainly be in 2015. There's a WWX coming in 2015.

You probably mean Warpath?

Anyway, on topic here - more preview pics, please!

Actually both Deadzone and Warpath! Anwyay, yes, more pics please, I'm loving these not-Monkey Island models so far.

Oh, well I can safely ignore those two then

I'm a little scared about how many add-ons there are going to be available with this one. I know they have plans for quite a few crews, and I BELIEVE I recall hearing that each crew would have unique creep models as well....

I'm envisioning boxes set up similar to the Kaosball ones, but I just don't know!

This is making the facebook rounds.

You can get an idea of what the board will look like too.

I'd like to get a closer look at what I'm assuming are the creep/ crew units (those piles of purple and green figures).

I think I'd be okay with a Kaosball type setup for purchasing crews (especially if they include as many BOGO deals as they did with Kaosball). One cool thing about Kaosball was they certainly weren't hurting for team variety by the time the campaign ended. Hope this is the case here as well. While I doubt I'll see something as out there as Viking Walruses or fighting cetaceans, I hope we see some fishmen at the very least.

(Can safely ignore Deadzone and Warpath too - though I might be tempted by hard plastic scenery, but even this is doubtful now too with Antenociti's excellent new line)

Rum & Bones could be expensive indeed if we succumb to a 'gotta catch 'em all!" approach.

Is it weird to hope that I won't like all the crews?
