For those of you that enjoyed Blood Bowl there is a new Sci-Fi sports game coming out from Mantic Games called Dreadball.
The kickstarter for the game finished on Sunday. Mantic is the company that makes Kings of War and Warpath the 40k and fantasy knock offs. They have very good miniatures for a good price.
Dreadball is very different from Blood Bowl but the designer is a huge Blood Bowl fan. I should have this in sometime last October early September. I spoke with the head of sales for Mantic they are trying to get 10 of the base game early for stores and he said we would be getting one. For more information check out there site.
www.dreadball.com/ This is the base homepage for the game.
quirkworthy.com/ This is the game designer Jake Thorton's blog. It's very informative. He used to work for GW like many of the guys at Mantic. He seems very intent on game balance.
Their Kickstarter was looking for $20,000 when the dust settled they ended up getting $728, 985. So there is an instant community based on those pledges and they have funding for the project for a few years now.
Mantic is very big on game balance and reasonable pricing. They are very different from GW in that they really like the tournament scene and value tournament players. They won't increases prices just because its July.
From what they are saying a whole team (16 players) will cost $24.99. They are 28mm and look really nice from the preview sculpts. I will post again when I get a demo copy and people can come in and play. Games take around an hour and the game is built specifically for tourneys and leagues.
Let me know if your interested. Currently I am set up to get all new mini's 2 weeks early so you can take a look and decide if you want one or not.
