The Artimis Project (Grand Gamers Guild)Grand Gamers Guild currently has a unique looking dice placement game up for funding on Kickstarter. In The Artemis Project, players compete to colonize one of Jupiter’s moons (Europa) all while juggling farming, resource gathering, production, and even defense of their colony. The crowdfunding project is about 185% funded as of this writing. The Artemis Project is for two to four players, ages 12+, plays in around an hour, and you can reserve a copy of the core game and all unlocked stretch goals for a $55.00 pledge through October 5th. Expected delivery is May of next year.

From Grand Gamers Guild:

Europa, Jupiter’s moon. Deep beneath the crust, the oceans are teeming with alien sea life. Shellfish, plants, corals, arthropods, even strange fish and larger sea creatures populate a wide-ranging interconnected web of hidden seas. Volcanism is rampant, warming the mineral-rich waters and creating excellent conditions for energy-harvesting.

The largest cavern close to the surface is known as The Pocket. This is where the initial teams of Stabilizers built their first outposts, with the intent to establish long-term The Artemis Project Contents (Grand Gamers Guild)communities capable of surviving indefinitely. Aqua-farming is well established; food and other sundries are efficiently gathered. The Pocket has many deposits of minerals and crystals that can be mined and processed to create strong and versatile construction materials locally.

Colonists arrive at the Doorstep at regular intervals when the Threshold is opened. The arrivals are of four general types: Pioneers (who are tasked with exploring the changing surface of the moon and the labyrinth of seas beneath), Engineers (who develop and operate the machinery and structures needed to run the colonies), Marines (who defend the colonies from hostile sea life, unwanted intruders, and other colonies), and Stewards (overseers responsible for strategy and negotiation).

The Artemis Project is a dice (dis)placement and engine building game that has you fighting the planet as well as the other players. Roll your dice and place them tactically to thwart the other colonists. Harvest energy and minerals. Bid for buildings. Work together to go on Expeditions to earn rewards. Train workers. Will your efforts be enough to survive?
