    Default Announcing the first true globe game: Verrago - The Globe Game !!

    ----UPDATE---(Note: once you click on the photo you can read it normally, the website is acting odd)

    Have you ever wanted your homebrew world in your hands, or even ready to sell on an online marketplace? We at Veridian Worldcrafters can make that happen, from our specialized globe making knowledge to our upcoming game, Verrago: The Fantasy Globe Game, we're breaking the mold on what's possible in the boardgame/TTRPG scene! I hope you come by our socials to see the progress! https://linktr.ee/veridianworldcrafters

    ---UPDATE---(old)
    I've worked hard to get to this moment. I have have another thread on the site, if you want to see the artwork as it has progressed you can check out the link here:

    https://www.cartographersguild.com/s...ad.php?t=41706

    I started this thread to showcase the board game aspect of this project, or "Globe Game". Our manufacturing partners say that I'm the first to actually make a globe game to their knowledge and they would know as they make globes... (if we're wrong let me know!).

    We are going to show our stuff at Gen Con this year in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. This is the largest board game convention in North America and we're excited to show you the game!

    Here is the first sneak peak of a picture, of the prototype. This artwork will naturally be improved upon in the coming months.

    Enjoy!

    Interesting, can you give more details on the game? Is it like Risk?

    The main influences of this game are: Settlers of Catan, Chess, Go, Legacy Risk, 7th Continent, Spirit Island, Dungeons and Dragons, and Feudum. This is very much it’s own game and while these influences are listed I didn’t take directly from any of them. Also, some influences are modules that you add later to make the game play more like a specific type of game that you like. So, pen and paper RPG’s have a module that let’s you interface your role playing experience with this game. There are quite a few modules in development, for many of the older and newer board game genres.

    Wow Vigilus! You're a true pioneer! Mad respect for all the work you've sunk into this project, it's quite original! I think you'll achieve much success at your convention, good luck in your future developments, and may your networking be ever fruitful!

    Verrago - The Globe Game Coming to Kickstarter August 2019!

    We've shown the game in it's unfinished state at GenCon 2018 and PAX Unplugged 2018 with much enthusiasm and interest!

    A 2-10 player legacy 4x strategy game that will play from 1-2 hours (on average). The globe is magnetic and the plastic pieces allow for it to act as a save file, so you have it on display or in the box and you still keep your previous games saved. No stickers or markers in this legacy game! With over 1200 cards of options, the game plays simply and follows a hidden card draw hierarchy. For all of you tabletop roleplayers, this game is also designed to be a setting (with 15 years of unique, new IP world design). Imagine playing through a 2 hour session of this game before starting your tabletop game on a Saturday morning, creating a complex, player invested, geopolitical-magical world that you all co-create real time. Game Masters, imagine the amount of time you save by playing this game instead of having to design everything! There are so many more things that I've designed that go into each and every card that in the interest of brevity I'll omit.

    If you like the concept and want to follow us, go to Facebook and search for Veridian Worldcrafters and like our facebook page. Thank you for your support!

    A lot of work went into actualizing this, a huge thanks to Niklas Oestergaard and the Columbus Globes team!
