I love it! I haven’t played a game that evoked these strong emotions since Robinson, so I think this game is eventual Top 3 material for me. There’s a lot to take into account in This War Of Mine, and you probably won’t survive. The night phase, where you go scavenging and raiders visit your shelter, reminds me of the unpredictability of the cards in Robinson Crusoe and those darned weather dice. The way you give your survivors tasks during the day reminds me of the planning you do in Robinson Crusoe. I got this game from the money I got from my family for my birthday – I always like to spend that money on something memorable, and this surely is. The excellent playthrough of Meet me at the Table was the decider. I wasn’t active on Kickstarter when the project was live – heck, I wasn’t even that much into boardgames back then, and even if I was, I would’ve dismissed this one because I haven’t played the video game (yet – I have downloaded a copy since I got the game) and therefore wouldn’t want a game based on a franchise I’m unfamiliar with.įlash forward to about a month ago and I slowly turned around. It’s a funny thing – the first Awaken Realms game I own doesn’t say so on the box, but it very much is – that is This War of Mine, currently being published (and expanded upon) by Galakta Games. Improve your shelter, build upgrades, and go scavenging at night to ensure existence in the near future. The town of Pogoren is in disarray as a result of the war, but you couldn’t care less for the cause – you and your fellow band of survivors care only for whatever they need to survive another day. What I’d like to do today is talk you through the various Awaken Realms projects that have caught my eye, what speaks to me, and why I will be backing all the upcoming Awaken Realms projects – for $1, at the very, very least. I do, however, have one game that, while it is a recent purchase, is a viable contender for my all time top 5 – possibly top 3.
I suppose you would expect me to list all the Awaken Realms games I’ve backed, received, and have been happily playing ever since. The real fans, though, they know where to look – on Kickstarter, that’s where it’s at. Today I sing my praises to Awaken Realms.Īwaken Realms is a Polish company that designs board games and releases them through Kickstarter in all their glory, while later selling the condensed games through retailers. This is the tale of a talented group of storytellers who are masters in their craft. This is a tale about the power of storytelling an narration and the desire for us human beings to be sucked in to other worlds – worlds that are eerily close to the one we know, worlds that are conceived within the limits of our imagination, and worlds that we get lost in that are far apart from what we know.
