Moons and Stars (Allfield Games)Allfield Games has launched a Kickstarter to bring a handmade strategy game to gamers everywhere. Moons and Stars is based on a fictional game found in Ben Jerred’s Allfield graphic novel. The game is for two players, ages 8+, and plays in around 15-30 minutes. The project is nearly 100% funded and you can reserve a copy of Moons and Stars for a $35.00 pledge through September 13th. Expected delivery is this December.

From Allfield Games:

Once upon a time, Moons and Stars only existed in the imaginary world of Allfield. Now, one of Allfield’s most popular board games is available to play and is coming soon to a table near you!

The adventure begins when you roll all 16 of your 6-sided “ballit” game pieces, creating one of over 20,000 possible combinations. Gain victory by one of two paths: capturing all your opponent’s Moons and Stars, or reaching your opponent’s Treasure Stone. Use Paths, Safes, Pits, and Traps to change how Moons and Stars move around the board. The player with the best strategy wins the game!

My favorite part about this game is how it was invented and how we managed to bring it to Kickstarter. I have always been inspired by stories set in other worlds so my graphic novel “Allfield” served as the inspiration for this game. The fictional characters of “Allfield” play Moons and Stars. So, I set out to make a real copy without an idea of how it would play.

I made the board and all of the pieces first, and then my 11-year-old son, who is amazing at games, developed the strategy and rules. His strategy was simple, ingenious and fun and, after a little tweaking of the initial rules, we felt we had to share the game with others. Thanks to a collaborative effort with my 16-year-old daughter and my wife, this game is now available for backers.
