The Big Score is on kickstarter! (Fully Funded in under 24 Hours!)

The Brute

The Brute started off as “Eddie the Brute” hailing from England. I was inspired a lot by “Barry the Baptist” from Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, so if he looks familiar that’s probably why lol. The Bosses were designed with the idea that they’re always in their domain. So seated in their offices, or where you would typically find them. The background should reflect the Boss, as it is an extension of them. The Brute has a rustic wood grain office, musky with cigar smoke and dimly lit. Its a place for him to meet and intimidate potential employees and partners. He would use the low light to make himself look bigger in size, like a bear in a cave. I had the most fun with his facial expression, and his money colored tie. As he was the first Boss character I designed his illustration was used for a number of mock up concepts. The early Boss Card Concept, (which looks terrible next to what we officially used lol) An idea for special “Boss” Job Cards, which only featured Boss Art, not location art and functioned like the “Job Cards” This concept was scrapped. The Big Score is on kickstarter! (Fully Funded in under 24 Hours!) Support the project, reserve your copy and see what stretch goals we have in store! ;)   Check me out on: Facebook

I'm away at Essen, but @pawlom is holding down the streaming fort. 😊 #Repost @pawlom (@get_repost) ・・・ This week, Mandi is away at Essen (lucky!!!), so I do a solo Teach & Play of Hostage Negotiator: Crime Wave. I try my best to puzzle my way through conversations with the abductor, in an attempt to save as many hostages as possible. The link can be found in my profile. We stream live every Monday at 8pm Eastern, on @boardgamingpinupgirl's Twitch channel: BoardGamingPinup, and on The Dice Tower YouTube channel. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #conversation #tense #hostagenegotiator #vanrydergames #livestream #twitch #dicetower #bgg #tabletopgames #tabletop #games #geek #boardgaming #boardgamegeek #gamegeek #boardgames #tabletopgaming #boardgame #gamer

#hostagenegotiator by #vanrydergames Really good solo game. Card drafting, hand management & dice rolling. You try to save a group of hostages from the villain by talking to him/her. Then to add some randomness to it you chuck some dice and most likely fail to do what you tried to xD i really really like this one. Easy to set up, easy to play and i get annoyed at the dice! :) 6.5/10 * * * * #boardgame #boardgames #boardgamegeek #tabletopgames #soloboardgaming https://www.instagram.com/p/BuTqGGdjOz2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4m6hy2szrc0r

HEY GUYS, IT’S YA BOI AGAIN. I gotta advertise this game again because we’ve got 28hrs left to go and we’re very close to being the most funded indie game on Kickstarter!!

This game is seriously rad. It features a variety of horror villains/slashers, diverse Final Girls, awesome locations, and epic stories. The stretch goals we’ve unlocked are going to be awesome too, including (but not limited to) secret envelopes, a lore and scenario book, EXTREME HORROR MODE, a FREE expansion game, miniatures, AND MORE!

Please consider backing it and help us reach our final stretch goals!

Timely post with the Kickstarter for Season 2 of Final Girl by @vanrydergames launching this week! I played a second game with my Frightmare on Maple Street set. I felt like I had a better grasp on the rules and got all set up…and then the cards and dice were so mean to me! A house fire in the first event card! Critical fail with 3 dice! And I couldn’t get to the house with Sheila’s special knife because of all the victim’s piling up. And then I drew a terror card making me fall asleep. Sheila managed to navigate most of the Boiler Room without damage…until she was down to her last hit point. 😆 Dead. But I still had fun and if it hadn’t been 11pm on a work night, I would have set it all up again! This is the first true solo game I have ever played. It has a lot going on - you’ve got the luck of the draw and dice, a bit of deck building and managing your resources, and strategy once you understand how the villain works. The box came with two girls who have different health levels and perks for rescuing victims. There is so much replayability in these two small boxes that if you want to dabble, backing at the $40 level will let you take a stab at it (haha). But just know once you play one, you’ll want more. And the girls and monsters and locations can all be switched around, creating new challenges. So now I’m debating just going all in on the Kickstarter to make sure I have all the girls and monsters. FOMO is real! Are you backing? Have you played? Did you survive? Let me know in the comments! https://www.instagram.com/p/CYovAz4L1VA/?utm_medium=tumblr

Fell down the rabbit hole that is Kickstarter and ended up backing this thing. Solo games always sound fun for when you want to play but no one else does or when the closest living being is a cat just waiting for you to die so it can eat your face. I just never really liked the concept of any of them enough to buy one before. Fucking this one is all about horror and slashers and it just kicked my nostalgia gut hard.

And is it bad that I’m looking at the gameplay of it and thinking it’d make a good literary prompt?

Money Chips So these were fun to work on. I wasn’t sure if we could do rectangular shaped chips, but once we established that we could I was totally excited. I liked the idea of the cash looking like actual dollars at least in shape.  The Vault Chips had to look different from the regular chips. This was so that it would be easier to differentiate which chips go into the vault and which don’t.  A lot of countries have color coded dollar bills, so i decided to follow suit for the game as well. The color helps to differentiate denominations and helps you to keep track on how much cash your opponents have ;) The Big Score is on kickstarter! In case you missed the deadline there will be an opening for late pledges and upgrades, and they count towards our very last stretch goal as well, so check it out!

Final Girl Passes Kickstarter Funding Goal in Under 2 Hours

April 20, 2020 3:09 PM EST

Final Girl smashes through its initial Kickstarter funding goal in under two hours. If you’re looking for a new solo board game, give this one a look.

Van Ryder Games is back again with another excellent-looking solo board game in the form of Final Girl. The team has quickly made a name for themselves in the board gaming industry with its innovative design and Final Girl looks no different. While many of their previous games use the graphic novel style to deliver the gameplay, this one uses magnetized game boxes to create your playing field. It’s pretty wild.

Final Girl is LIVE!!!! https://t.co/kW7hDXctEo

When you get Final Girl, you’ll get a core box and 1-4 Feature Film boxes. This being a Kickstarter, the number of Feature Film boxes you get depends on which pledge level you sign up for. Regardless of how many you have available, the basic gameplay is the same. You choose one of the unique killers and an iconic location. Then, through a series of action selection and dice rolling, you’ll fight off the killer, unlocking your Final Girl along the way. The game ends when either you or the killer is dead. However, there’s always a chance the killer comes back from beyond the grave.

It’s a set-up that reminds me of Camp Grizzly, another horror-themed board game that seeks to capture the feel of movies like Friday the 13th. However, Final Girl gives you access to several different horror themes. From a spooky camp to a haunted manor, the options are a diverse selection of all the best horror movies. It’s also something Van Ryder could easily build on with future releases.

Final Girl is available now on Kickstarter. The campaign has 25 days left to go, giving you plenty of time to make a decision. Personally, I’ll probably be waiting for retail on this one. There are just so many add-ons and campaign options.  I’d rather see it in the wild before making a final purchase choice.
