TOKAIDO – COLLECTOR’S EDITION coming next Wednesday on KICKSTARTER!

Posted on February 22, 2014 by admin
Posted in Events, Game news, Previews

You know it, we have a lot of projects around TOKAIDO.
We already announced a digital app on Kickstarter. After having worked hard a lot, we finally decided to postpone the digital app project as a crowdfunded one for a simple reason: there is, today, no simple (and even less elegant) way to distribute such app through Kickstarter. This is meanly related to Apple and Google distribution policies which are not compatible with a pre-paid app. Without entering into each and every details, we preferred to rework the project to be “classically” released through the app stores and we will keep you informed about the evolution of the project.

The good news is that today we are proud to announce another project around TOKAIDO.
On next Wednesday (February 26th) we will go live on Kickstarter with a COLLECTOR’S EDITION.
This edition will be heavy loaded with materials such as:

A whole game including the Crossroads edition
16 (and maybe more) detailed figures “the supercute minis”
New scoring tokens
A totally reworked and even more elegant graphic design, and maybe new character arts
50 Metal coins
A soundtrack CD, exclusively composed for your game sessions
And maybe a lot more surprises in the stretch goals!

We are super excited about this collector’s edition and we hope that you will be as excited as we are to put your hands in it!

We will need your help to bring this project to life so stay closely tuned, everything will start on Wednesday February 26th!

Launch the long-range scout! Move the Flagship into orbital position! And reconfigure that Battlestation!
Your squadron of loyal starships, powered by quantum probability itself, carries the might of your people to the far-flung stars.
The fleet is yours to command. But how will history remember you? As a ravenous destroyer? A clever tactician? A brilliant explorer?
Maneuver your deadly armada, construct world-shattering technologies, and rally the remnants of humanity for a final confrontation.

QUANTUM is an epic game of strategy and conquest for 2-4 fleet commanders.

EACH DIE IS A STARSHIP.

TO WIN: CONSTRUCT QUANTUM CUBES. Massive energy extractors, each one you build evolves your fleet in new ways.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR BATTLES. Play on one of the 30 unique map layouts or design your own.
THE QUANTUM CALLS YOU.
