Made it to 1:45 in the video before it got too annoying someone who's not high please give us an overview

Edit: reread what I posted.....I'm not high, people in the video just seem.....

I still think Dogs of War could have done even better if it had full sized figures rather than busts, as it was just as abstract of game as Blood Rage seems to be. Speaking as a fan of Dogs Of War.

I would have loved to have had full sized steam knights and clockwork gunners and swordsmen rather than the top halves for figures that were absolutely unnecessary from a gameplay perspective (as the cards included with the game did the same exact thing as the minis).

Be happy that CMON are giving you guys full sized figures this time around. Even Euro style games deserve piles of figures!

They've been getting those people to do the gameplay videos lately.

Probably not the smartest move they've made, but the Rum and Bones one they did themselves wasn't very exciting either...

Vikings are cool. But I already have four mini based board games coming whenever and The Others: 7 Sins is looming up ahead and Vhunters and Nova Aetas look cool as well.

What I'm saying is that I'm not interested unless there's less clones (I'd actually prefer replacing existing grunts with new poses instead of Conan's "add MORE grunts " at this point), maybe a few more monsters and an early bird for me that HAS to be dropped on the last day by some guy whose whining, err, "helpfull advice" of "add moar free custom dice!!!1!" has fallen on deaf ears. Oh, and I neeed good rules. There's just SO MUCH stuff coming up, it's crazy.

Anyone thinking of backing this should steel themselves to endure weeks of "REAL VIKING BOSSES!" in the comments...

To be fair, I've pretty much given up reading the comments sections of many KS's.

It looks ok as a board game, and the price is decent for the number of figures. Depends on stretch goals as to my interest now versus waiting for retail. Right now I'm really enjoying Cthulhu Wars game play and miniatures, and I am more tempted to add expansions for it over buying Blood Rage, but a good collection of stretch goals could win me over.

I agree, Karazax - Cthulhu Wars has been surprisingly fun! I don't know one way or the other how much fun this one will be to play - I have a hard time figuring that out from just reading rules, but if I can find time to watch the gameplay video I think that will make it a lot clearer. Would love to hear others' thoughts on what they've seen from the video.

Hmmm

To me it looks like a solid (and well themed) victory points based boardgame, reading the rules and looking at (some) of the video I'd say it's not actually going to be too much fun at the 2 player level as a lot of the strategy involved in do I interact/attack A or B or C will be missing, and will probably work best with 4

so if you like Vikings, or don't have anything similar gameplay wise it's not a bad one to pick up, but probably not something that's going to become a group favourite

Edit: of course I'm hardly a board-gaming Guru so that may be total nonsense! (probably worth checking out whether BGG like the rules http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/170216/blood-rage, not a lot on there yet but hopefully some more useful analysis before the KS ends)

From what I've seen of the video it doesn't tell you much, just the same bunch of idiots sitting around a table laughing for no discernable reason in an attempt to convince you the game is fun without actually explaining much.

Interested but I'll probably skip it. (Kickstarter Fatigue). I went in on Rum and Bones but if I'm only after plastic Vikings I should probably concentrate on the buckets of Mierce Miniatures I have. Too many good games gathering dust to add more to the pile. I'm sure this will be good, but with the amount that CMON kickstart I'll run out of shelf/cupboard/room/garage and Aunt's House space.

Is this what passes for an on-topic comment that contributes to the discussion?

Does this have anything to do with the game in question? At all?

Or is this strictly a personal attack?

I'm not interested in replying to you further.

Insofar as you derail topics regularly by stating things contrary to what's been repeatedly and clearly written as news, with speculation or opinion randomly attacking things? Yes.

It'd be nice if you weren't interested in replying further, to threads in general. I want to talk about what's coming out, not your hangups, so I'm suggesting substantive discussion of the topic or news at hand.

Funded in...... maybe 2 minutes?

Maximum of 2 minutes ^^

There are actually zero stretchgoals visible... first two or three will be "alternative" poses for the basis troopers.. am I right?

Wenn for an early bird.. really not sure if I'll keep it. A good boardgame might come in handy though.

Yeah, that was insane, by the time my account was pinged that it was up, the EB was sold out.

I dont know about you, but that $5 difference is enough to make me no longer want to back it.

BLOOOOD RAAAAAAAAGE

That's how it usually goes.

I find if you search for the project title and keep refreshing it comes up quicker than if you just search under "tabletop games/newest". YMMV.

OH MY GOD 8 MINUTES WITHOUT ANY UPDATES

BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE

Could become a meme.

@ cincy, Heh, totally.

More seriously, gonna back it still, but hoping to snag an EB from some dissatisfied backer dropping down the line. If not, meh, but $5 off is still $5 off if I get lucky.

Comments already filled with people (blood) raging about missing the EB that saves you $5...

Really not fair. I get called into a stupid meeting at 2:58, 12 minutes later I get back and the early birds are gone that fast :(

Wait... really? That's kinda' sad that people are getting upset over what'll amount to close to 5% after shipping.

Welcome to Kickstarter, where the stretch goals are made up and the facts don't matter.

Got an early bird because I might as well get the better price if I decide to back it until the end.

Hmm so far no reason to KS when I can wait for retail - lets see how this develops

Complaints are now gearing toward a lack of stretch goals, with threats of dropped pledges if they put them up and several aren't broken already.

Not sure if serious...

Hi

Any idea when this game reach the stores?

saluti

It's not the money; $5 is nothing.

It's the perception of getting a worse deal compared to other backers, that's what makes people feel a bit cranky.
