• You already know whether or not you want Car Wars Arenas, yes? (KS link)
• Gordon Calleja's Posthuman from Mr. B Games is not about a lone mail carrier in an apocalyptic wasteland, but rather about other types of humans in a sort of non-apocalyptic wasteland. (KS link)
• Stephen Finn's Cosmic Run from his own Dr. Finn's Games is, as the title suggests, a race through space. It has dice and artwork. (KS link)
• Among Nobles from Danish publisher Among Meeples and a team of five designers is the first Kickstarter that I'm aware of from a publisher in Denmark. Not sure whether that should affect your decision to look into this game one way or 'tother, but now I've directed the conversation in that direction. Hmm. (KS link)
• Mangaka: The Fast & Furious Game of Drawing Comics! from Jason Thompson and Mock Man Press tells you what it is in the subtitle. (KS link)
• The best thing about Mark McLaughlin's Holy Roman Empire: The Thirty-Years War from One Small Step being on Kickstarter is the huge label near the top of the page that reads "Holy Roman Empire is EU-friendly". Some might argue with that statement. Some might also argue that it's not the best thing. (KS link)
• I was not aware that Poland had its own crowdfunding site, but why not? Perhaps it has several even. I know little about Poland. The game being focused on here is Warsaw Rising Up 1945-1980 from Piotr Grzymisławski, Łukasz Szopka and Fabryka Gier Historycznych, with players working to rebuild Warsaw in the aftermath of World War II.

• Let's pair birds with bears and follow that listing with Pandánte: Light & Dark from David Sirlin at Sirlin Games is an expansion for the gambling game Pandánte, coming out in a second edition at the same time, that adds new powers to the game, casinos that each have a different effect on play, panda champions, and other items. (KS link)
• Ninja All-Stars is from Soda Pop Miniatures and features chibi ninja characters and the possibility of lots of add-on purchases. (KS link)
• Shire Post Mint has been making metal coins under license from George R.R. Martin since 2003, and it's currently featuring a KS campaign for replacement coins that can be used in board and card games featuring A Game of Thrones. (KS link)
• Mahou Shojo: Fight Like a Girl! from DeerFox Games needs to have a publisher listing in the BGG database. Also, a designer listing. As for the game, it's a two-player fighting game. Is that enough to let you know whether to look at it further or not? I hope so because I'm moving on to the next thing. (KS link)
• Simon McGregor's Ancient Terrible Things: The Lost Charter from Pleasant Company Games feels like it should be released by a different publisher — unless PCG is going for irony, I suppose. This expansion expands the game with expansive items. (KS link)
• Calliope Games has launched The Titan Series, which features nine — no, twelve — no, possibly even more games delivered to you in batches all the way to 2019. Not much detail about the games, but that's sometimes one of the attractions of Kickstarter, yes? Low price point now vs. perfect information later? (KS link)

• John Clowdus of Small Box Games is pitching Soulfall on KS, with fantastic (in the literal sense) art by Sandro Rybak. I've enjoyed the few games that I've played from Clowdus, and it's nice to see him plugging along with his designs. (KS link)

• For April Fool's Day, instead of pranking people Dice Hate Me Games has put out a quick run KS that takes a meta apporoach to gaming with two small card games: Deck Building: The Deck Building Game from Christopher Badell and Unpub: The Unpublished Card Game from JR Honeycutt and Doug Levandowski. Mo' meta. (KS link)
• Ares Games is offering many "giants of the sky" for Wings of Glory, and every time I see that game, I wish that we had a more organized system for putting together all of the Wings of Glory material, but I'm not sure what that might be — most likely because I know jack all about air combat, so I have no clue how to organize such a thing. (KS link)
• Wake up, Cthulhu! from Miguel Bruque and GDM Games is the obligatory Cthulhu title for this post. (Verkami link)
• In addition to being on Kickstarter (link) Dirk Knemeyer's Tesla vs. Edison: War of Currents from Artana is being funded on both Giochistarter in Italy (link) and Spieleschmiede in Germany (link). Poland probably feels left out.
• Giochistarter also has an Italian version of Tiny Epic Galaxies (GS link), while Spieleschmiede is featuring campaigns for a new version of Heike Risthaus' bluffing game Blindes Huhn (SS link) and Krzysztof Wolicki's Der Herr des Eisgartens (SS link), which is the German version of the second edition of The Lord of the Ice Garden from REDIMP GAMES, the first of which debuted at Spiel 2014 and the second edition of which is on Kickstarter. (KS link) Oh my, I'm going to go lie down now...
Editor's note: Please don't post links to other Kickstarter projects in the comments section. Write to me via the email address in the header, and I'll consider them for inclusion in a future crowdfunding round-up. Thanks! —WEM
