Crowdfunding Round-up: Rabbits, Realms, Rentinels, and Reavy Ream... Yup, That's What I'm Going With

The Rabbit line of card games is a star-studded six-pack of 54-card games created by seasoned designers for portable, crowd-pleasing fun. From Dice Hate Me Games. These card games are not what most would consider modern microgames; they are designed with the aesthetic of many classic 54-card games - portable and easy to play, but also with a rich depth that will reward players every time each game hits the table.

Allegiance: A Realm Divided is a fantasy-themed, fully self-contained tabletop game for 2 to 4 players. It is a unique board-game/card-game hybrid that is deeply strategic in nature and usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes to play.

In Allegiance, each player assumes the role of one of ten powerful heroes fighting in a realm divided by war. Each hero represents a different fantasy character class and plays according to that character's style, strengths, and weaknesses. Players can customize and level-up their hero's unique abilities, enlist allied units, and play tricky action cards to defeat their enemies.

Sentinel Tactics puts you in control of one of the many super-powered characters from Sentinel Comics. Whether playing in tournament-style skirmishes or playing through the storyline of The Flame of Freedom in the included scenario comic book, each player controls one of our familiar heroes or villains, each with their own powers and abilities! Combat takes place on a hex-grid map, and attack and defense is based on the rolling of six-sided dice.

Whereas the Sentinels of the Multiverse card game is a fully cooperative game, Sentinel Tactics is a team based game, pitting groups of heroes and villains against each other. Groups of players will cooperate against either a villain player or players, or against another team of players! Sentinel Tactics is a competitive game, but cooperation and teamwork are still vital to the gameplay!

Heavy Steam is a game about using your resources wisely to strategically attack your opponent. Set in a steampunk universe, your job is to decide where to utilize your energy, a compound called "zenjin" more commonly referred to as steam rock or steam for short, in your steam titan. Steam titans are giant war machines manned by talented pilots who are part strategists, part engineers, and part navigators. They also happen to be the rock stars of their day. Using your pilot's special abilities, as well as cards that modify your weapons and the terrain, you decide whether to power up your weapons, bolster your defenses, or transfer steam to your legs in order to move.

Phases allow you to move your steam titan, attack the enemy, manage your energy, purchase cards, and keep your pressure from reaching the critical stages. Because the flow of steam takes time, you must think several turns ahead while also reacting immediately to enemy attack. Players roll one set of dice for attack and a different unique set for defense. Since you are creating a campaign against your opponent and reacting to their attack, it's best to plan ahead, but prepare a backup plan!
