Fans of lighter gaming fare are probably familiar with the magazine Casual Game Insider which is published through Stratus Games. Now the mag is aiming to enter its fourth year with a little bit of your help. Currently around $4k short of the Kickstarter goal (with over two weeks to go) you can subscribe and receive the quarterly 2016 issues for $10 for PDF or $25 for print and PDF.
If you haven’t checked out CGI in the past you can even enjoy the latest issue free right here.
About the project:
During our first 3 years of producing Casual Game Insider, we have spread our magazine far and wide. We have also continually learned what to do and what not to do to create a great magazine – as our readers can attest, we have gotten better and better at what we do!
But we always depend on our subscribers and sponsors to ensure we have the funding to continue to serve the needs of casual gamers everywhere. With your help, we are excited and ready to continue to our 4th year – choose a reward level to help us continue the revolution!
Board games are making a comeback! Casual Game Insider (or CGI) is a quarterly magazine that covers news, reviews, and interesting articles about casual board, card, dice, and party games. To date, we have produced 12 great issues.
“Casual Games” are the main focus of our magazine. In general, we consider casual games to have these characteristics:
- Played in under an hour
- Set up and taught in under 10 minutes
- Require some light strategic thought
- Not specifically marketed to children, but can be enjoyed by anyone from older children to adults
