I stumbled across this GameFound project today and thought I'd share a link.
It's called Grave Trigger, and is designed to be played with no dice and very little measuring. It's a small-scale game with only three miniatures per side, and uses a flexible initiative system and reactions to keep play interesting. The models are multi-part and have a very cool bio-punk aesthetic.
The starter pledge has is $85 USD and has two factions, while the "all-in" pledge is $135 and adds a third faction, neoprene mat, and some other components, so the price certainly seems reasonable to me.
It's funded! Thanks for sharing.
I'm stoked to have been a small part of it (I designed the terrain, although Alex textured them himself, exactly how I envisaged them.
Here's a vibe shot and a bit more info about the design process if you're interested.
If it hits the stretch goal, we all get extra stuff in our pledges. Share the word!

Yeah! I watched Dana Howls one last night - It got me excited. I like how she mentions that there are usually at least three choices at any decision point, which is cool. Also I like the no dice concept too.
And I see what you mean re: aesthetics. Also, Alex / the designer mentions his influences at the bottom of the KS page.
Nice. I have far too many dice-based combat games, so glad to hear of one that uses cards.
I also have far too many generic fantasy miniatures and terrain so hope you'll release some sort of game that lets me use my own mini's! Good luck with the campaign!

It's really cool to have someone who worked on the project drop in. Have you had the chance to play the game and handle the minis yourself? Also, any hits as to what future plans for the might entail?
I'm hoping the campaign ramps up enough to fill out the roster for each faction, since having that extra option would add some important variety.
I've been playing Forever Skies recently, so this aesthetic is really speaking to me right now. I'm a bit wary of what the currency exchange/shipping costs etc. will be when the project actually ships to be honest, but with a few days left, I might still pledge tbh.
so hope you'll release some sort of game that lets me use my own mini's! Good luck with the campaign!
