[Kickstarter] Kalidasia Fleet Commander - A game of planetary siege

[KalidasiaGames]

Hello Everyone,

I am posting this to let you know about the Kickstarter project for my new board game: Kalidasia Fleet Commander.

Kalidasia Fleet Commander is the new two player tabletop game of planetary siege set in the Kalidasia Universe. One player controls the defending Heragul Empire while the other player commands the invading Surakari. As the defender, the Heragul are attempting to hold out until a friendly fleet can break the siege. The Surakari are trying to destroy the defenders, blockade the planet, and eventually, cripple the economic potential of the planet.

Unlike many of the other space themed board games, Kalidasia Fleet Commander is not a game of galactic expansion, exploration and politics. Instead, it focuses on the tactics of besieging of an individual planet. As with my previous game in this franchise, Fleet Commander is about creating a game that is accessible to players of all skill levels. The individual mechanics of the game are all quite simple, but they combine in ways that will require players to make difficult decisions in order to claim victory.

All the details about the Kalidasia Universe can be found on the game's website:

Thanks for taking the time to read this post. If you have any questions about this project, then feel free to post them here. I have turned on the subscription emails for this thread.

Hello again,

I have a added a new pledge level to this project - a $35 core version of Kalidasia Fleet Commander. This new pledge level is a great way to get started with the game.

In addition, I have also posted more artwork for the planets that will appear in the first phase of the game.

If you have any questions, feel free to post them here.

Thanks for reading!

For this Kickstarter project, I mentioned a video series in the various reward levels. Recently, I posted the first episode of this series in which I talk about what I think are the three most important concepts to think about when designing a tabletop game. These core concepts will be important for the later episodes as I dive into the details of tabletop game design.
