They bought a game that failed to deliver and are looking at running a second KSer to pay for manufacturing.

What is very different about this game, compared to what we've done up until now, is that OrcQuest WarPath already had a successful kickstarter campaign back in 2018, gathering more than 2200 backers: Link to the first campaign https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1504466921/orcquest-warpath-the-boardgame/ Unfortunately, the development of the game did not leave enough funding for the production stage.

After exhausting all other alternatives, Maze Games looked for a buyer to finalize the game, and, well, we raised our hand.

-This can be achieved by unifying the offer.

The development is almost over and the miniatures' molds are final. There are changes to be made as we are optimizing the packaging to group the expansions, reworking the layout and adjusting some aspects of the game experience (diceโ€ฆ).
โ€‹
By the time the campaign launches, and in compliance with our new policy, all production files will be done.
โ€‹
We truly believe OrcQuest WarPath deserves a chance to hit our game tables, despite its past difficulties.
We hope this campaign will bring together previous and new backers for this โ€œresurrectionโ€.

It is time to unleash the Orcs!

Well, color me green with interest.

I did not back the original KS, mostly because I thought their funding goals were too low for what they were offering. Sucks that I was right, but this is a step in the right direction.

I wonder if this sort of Kickstarter rescue will become more common where a failed kickstarter is redone by a new company with a free or discounted product for original backers.

The infamous Defiance Games Eggsuits are about to come out in a new kickstarter where the original backers will qualify for a large discount.

Impact Miniatures did it. Who remembers Torn Armor? : https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/impactminiatures/impact-miniatures-presents-the-lost-ks-mini-projec

Cryptozoic also did this for Doom that Came to Atlantic City. : https://boardgaming.com/games/board-games/the-doom-that-came-to-atlantic-city

But these were long ago, and I see them as an exception. I've even see a few backers, who think KS is still a store, get upset at the new creators for rescuing a project.

Folks in the OrcQuest comments are already getting mad. No good deed goes unpunished.

EDIT: Mebbe Maze / Monolith will ask original backers who didn't buy an all-in to pledge / donate in the Monolith KS, or have a "thanks for helping" add-on, like the DUN folks are doing.

Considering what wargames atlantic is teasing for the future, might be some interesting conversions if that happened,

And the campaign is live.

135 euro (about $145) for everything. Shipping seams to be $40-45 USD.

8 days to go with 1/3rd funded atm.

Would like to see a game play video before I invest. Does seem like the boxes have a lot of stuff.

The objective of the game is to win. The point of the game is to have fun. The two should never be confused.

There's a couple embeded videos on the campaign page showing how certain aspects of the game works along with the rules for download. Not complete play session though.

The game is 30k euros away from funding with 7 days so it looks to be a pretty good bet that it will fund.

Is this game co-op, or a one vs many (GM vs Players, HeroQuest style?)
