After the Kickstarter in the game forge - New improvements for Magical Friends - and How to Summon Them?

First of all, the game despite being successful Kickstarter Now appearing on another crowdfunding platform, there is nothing negative and no reason to worry. Instead, there are definitely good reasons. It's about improving the game even further - even for those who have already supported the game on Kickstarter. There were enough supporters Kickstarterto finance the game, but there were also some goals that were not achieved. The game forge is now a way to subsequently realize these goals and incorporate them into the game.

1. Asymmetric Player Skills (from €2.307) – already achieved.

2. Box Cover Improvements (from €7.307)

3. Custom Cubes (from €12.307)

Anyone who supports the project in the forge can secure the German or English version of the game and other additional rewards, such as acrylic creature displays or an art book.

While the last two goals are fairly self-explanatory (and have yet to be accomplished), let's take a closer look at asymmetric abilities.

Asymmetrical skills are skills that change over the course of the game and, for example, become stronger. However, this advantage does not come by itself, but requires good preparation and later more resources.

The author (Klemens Luger) illustrates this in the Kickstarter campaign updates using the example of Donny Darkmatter:

He has the ability to give one of your friends the ability to poison another being. This ability requires a spell power to activate.

Starting on turn 3, Donny can instead directly poison a creature anywhere on the board that hasn't been poisoned before, but this ability requires two spell powers.

Finally, on turns 6 and 7, Donny can kill any poisoned creature on the board (friend or foe), but he needs three spell powers to do so.

Asymmetrical skills thus increase the playing possibilities and bring new tactical elements with them. If I manage to keep a character until the end and use it sensibly, I have powerful abilities at my disposal towards the end of the game.

Going to the game forge seems to be worthwhile for everyone, even if it is surprising at first. If you missed the Kickstarter, you still have the chance to get in. The author and his team have the opportunity to expand and improve the game and everyone who buys the game, whether forge or Kickstarter, will receive the game with the unlocked games. A win for everyone.

But when is the time? The games are scheduled to ship in August 2023.
