Gauntlets & Goblins Fantasy RPG Up On Kickstarter

Many of my gaming friends have kids that are just starting to get to the age where they're wondering about all these cool games that their parents are playing. But many games are a bit more complex than your average 6yr old can really manage. Thankfully, there's an ever-growing catalog of games designed specifically to bring new gamers into the fold, as well as be interesting enough to keep veteran players engaged. That's what Gauntlets & Goblins looks to do. The fantasy RPG is up on Kickstarter now.


From the campaign:

Gauntlets & Goblins is the result of my nephew's desire to play the kind of games that mommy, daddy, and his uncle played. I took the concepts of conventional RPGs and boiled them down to the absolute simplest form. As a result, G&G has all the essence of a full fledged experience in a package that a six year old can understand.

Gameplay: We use cards and symbols to make the game as manageable as possible for young players. Dice mechanics are simple, roll a set amount and count your successes. Spellcasting is a breeze with easy to grasp, conceptual spells like fly, enlarge, or disguise. Combat is engaging and exciting, but not overly threatening. If you run out of heart cards, you just fall down until it's over.

The Kickstarter campaign is up and running now. It's set to go for another 25 days.
