‘Planetoid’ Clears Kickstarter Goal in First Day for Dragon Portal

Feb 27, 2019

A sharp looking tile based game is up for Kickstarter funding, for Dragon Portal, and passed its initial funding goal in the first day. In Planetoid, players will each aim to mine a planet as they race against time to secure resources before their opponents. The game is for one to four players, ages 8+, and plays in around 30 minutes. Planetoid funded in it’s first few hours and you can reserve a copy of the game, and unlocked stretch goals, for a $22.00 pledge through March 22. Expected delivery is August of this year.

From Portal Dragon:

In the quick tile-based game Planetoid, players take on the role of a space miner and attempt to collect more resources or bonuses than their competition. Will you Scan to find the most valuable resources? Or collect common resources to achieve bonuses?

Drill: Take a tile from the board and reveal all adjacent tiles.
Scan: Look at two tiles, store energy for later use
Ship: Save resources from your player board for end of game scoring and collect matching bonuses.

Play continues until all tiles have been revealed or all bonuses have been acquired. The player with the most points wins.

The advanced mode follows uses an action point system to allow for more strategic turns, adds secret bonuses and the ability to upgrade your ship.

In the solo mode you must race resource hungry aliens and complete your tasks before the Planetoid is consumed.
