A Kickstarter has launched for a new game from Renegade Game Studios, designed by Adam Buckingham and Ed Marriott. In Embarcadero, players will look to build the wharf district of San Francisco during the gold rush by using the hulks of abandoned ships. The game is for one to four players, ages 12+, and plays in 60-90 minutes. The project is over 500% funded and you can reserve a copy of the game, stretch goals, and the expansion Unsinkable for a $60.00 pledge through October 2nd. Expected delivery is March of next year.
From Renegade:
San Francisco, 1850. The Gold Rush is in full swing. Ships stream steadily in San Francisco Bay, brimming with would-be treasure hunters. Anchored off the coast of the boomtown lies a flotilla of abandoned vessels, their crews long since taken by gold fever.
A few business moguls stake their claims on these derelict ships, towing them into the harbor to house their growing empires. Over time, this wharfside district, known as the embarcadero, would become the very heart of business enterprise in the thriving port city,
In Embarcadero, players step into the shoes of these savvy entrepreneurs. Build San Francisco on the hulls of these abandoned vessels and carve out a foothold in the city council. Do you have what it takes to rule the waterfront?
The game takes place over three rounds. In each round, players take turns playing cards and placing tiles to take control of wharves to earn points and influence.
