Earlier today King Racoon Games and Grey Fox Games teamed to launch a Kickstarter for a new edition of the unusually themed sciece fiction battle game Tsukuyumi: Full Moon Down. This edition aims to improve the component quality of the game by replacing the cardboard standees with over 120 plastic miniatures. Tsukuyumi: Full Moon Down is for two to four players, ages 14+, and plays in around 90-150 minutes. You can reserve a copy of the core game (with unlocked stretch goals) for a $99.00 pledge or the core and the After the Moonfall expansion (with unlocked stretch goals) for a $149.00 pledge through April 12. Expected delivery is January of next year.
About the project:
Tsukuyumi – Full Moon Down is a unique board game set in an original setting envisioned by designer and artist Felix Mertikat. Set in a future where the Moon has crashed to the Earth’s surface and caused immense chaos, devastating mankind and mutating a number of species.
It’s a game that focuses on strategy, skill, and the unique characteristics of each faction. Do you overwhelm the battlefield with the mighty swarm that is the Dark Seed? Or do you pick and choose your fights with the mobility, weaponry, and guerilla warfare of the Nomads? Maybe it’s the cold science and technological advantage of the CyberSamurai that appeals to you, or the tenacity and ferociousness of the mighty Boarlords. No matter who you choose, everyone faces the Oni, the servants of the white dragon who inhabits the moon!
Variability is the name of the game with Tsukuyumi and not just because of the diverse factions. From the mission-oriented two-player mode to the six-player battle royale with the expansion, you never have to play the same game twice. Not only can you choose WHO you play, and HOW you play, but there are more than 40 tiles to choose from to make the battlefield different every time you play. Choose your game modes, choose your faction, then choose your battlefield, and fight for world domination in Tsukuyumi – Full Moon Down!
Tsukuyumi is a highly asymmetrical strategy game involving deep game play and an immersive story. It has been launched once before and released to rave reviews from both Dice Tower and the BGG community. This time, however, we are including miniature figures giving this game the treatment is deserves. We also have a few new surprises planned along the way, we hope you join us.
