Yay another boardgame. This one is basically childhood stories all mixed in a blender

This one apparently has a bit more "weight" to it though since 12 Realms was nominated by Board Game Geek for 2011 Golden Geek Best Print & Play Board Game Nominee. They even have the rules up online

They have a few minis under development too. Though all of them say they're pre painted. This might not sit well for some people. Perhaps people could persuade them otherwise? I'm not sure

Magic number for this game for miniature stretch goals is $95 which gets you the game, Jeanne D'Arc Mini, 2 Spinner Rings, and Print of Cover Art+ The Stretches Minis

If you're not into the minis though the base game will get the stretch goal upgrades so thats $65

Kid friendly Kingdom Death?

Hmm looks like they changed up the entire contents. Since I dont feel like dredging through comments, I wonder if it was due to confusion or a demand for miniatures. Anyways base game now comes with 8 Unpainted Miniatures

Total 12 Miniatures:
4 Black Fortresses 40mm, 1 Fortress per Realms
1 Jeanne D'Arc 35mm Miniature
1 Robin Hood 35mm Miniature
1 D'artagnan 35 Miniature
1 Siegfried 35mm Miniature
1 Red Riding Hood 35mm Miniature
1 Snow White 35mm Miniature
1 Nutcracker 35mm Miniature
1 Sugar Plum Fairy 35mm Miniature!

Am I reading it correctly that its only a $15 ($65 level to $80 level) addition to gto to pre-painted minis? Thats a no brainer for those of us (like me) who already have too much waiting to be painted.

None of the images are working Kensin, an intresting looking little project will keep a watch on it, also the Guild Thief and Dryad are just adorable.

Very nice looking miniatures too, just look at these:

How do I NOT buy these? They're adorable!

Also, those stretch-goal buildings look sweet.

Just ran across this and it seems adorable! Might have to jump in after Kingdom Death is done having its way with me.

Edit: $80 gets the game, unpainted minis, and all stretch goals.

Hello there folks my name is Lefteris I didnt know there was allready a topic for 12 Realms and I made one my self at Dakka Discusions

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/498025.page

I'm sorry I did that, no ment for spam or anything.......I ve seen there are some questions regarding the game.Hope that I can be of any assistant.
I dont want to be misunderstood,I am just helping the guys from Mage Company to release the game because I really like it, and I want to see
it being published. I dont have any benefits from it I just like the game.
I have played the print 'n' play version. It is a really cool game really easy to play,and with really cool minis.
Ther main reason that you see many changes is because the guys from Mage Company are trying to keep everyone satisfied. They are preparing more
characters as we speak,and besides 3dmodels they will have ready some sample miniatures so that you can see what you get.
With you support I believe they will make it through and present us a very nice result.......So feel free ask me

Hello there people this are the sample minis of Nurcracker and Snow White so that you can see what you get
Soon there will be the painted minis too.

Hmmm ... I need to look into this deeper but it seems similar, at least, to another KS for a game called "Story Realms" that was funded a few months ago.

If you look into it 12Realms was created in 2010 and Story Realms at 2012. So that you might not think that the Mage Company guys copied anything or stealed anything.

Oh, no no no, I wasn't implying anything like that. Just that these "story book" based games seem similar. Nothing wrong with that and I like the look of both of them. I pledged for "Story Realms" and am tempted to do the same for "12 Realms". My daughter and I will enjoy them, I'm sure. I just need to look into this one to see how close it might be to the first one I funded. It's a new genre for me ... it's not like it's another Dungeon Crawl boardgame to add to my collection of Dungeon Crawl boardgames.

I wasn't saying that you were implying anything.I just mention it so that there no misunderstoods that all.
If you have any questions regarding 12Realms go the kickstarter page and ask anything you like.

this is a preview of the PnP version of the game so that you can understand how the game goes
Imagine the game with its minis,tokens and better illustrasion

I really like the concept and the initial sculptures but are.they.finished as they seem to be lacking detail.

You see the game it self when it was first desingec,it was ment to be only for children.Thus the desings have this cartoon like characteristics. Mage Company took the right ,to publish the game, and put a few new elements to the game. Like event cards, optional rules, scenarios and the minis.
And that is the main reason that you see that the minis are not so detailed like other miniature games, because they would loose this cartoon feeling.
