Everybody rock your body with Sea of Legends!
almost 4 years ago – Fri, May 22, 2020 at 01:55:33 PM

Some of us at Game and a Curry have teamed up with our friends at Guildhall Studios to write on Sea of Legends, a board game with monstrous minis and a creative storytelling app that lets players take on the roles of pirates hunting for treasure and notoriety in the Carribean.

In celebration of our collaboration, here’s an interview that Banana Chan did with Ryan Schapals, the Creative Director of Guildhall Studios.

We have also released four new avatars for the Supernatural Boys that you can use for your profile pictures.

Meet Prince Woojin, Tomas, Julian, Paolo, the Boys with the most haunting monsta looks!

It’s tearin’ up my heart (when I’m out of Meeple Syrup)
almost 4 years ago – Thu, May 14, 2020 at 07:00:27 PM

Co-designer Clio Yun-su Davis and publisher Banana Chan had the opportunity to speak with Sen-Foong Lim on Meeple Syrup last night, chatting about Battle of the Boybands, K-pop, the drama behind boybands, Asian themes in games and RPG design vs. board game design! 

We also talked about Clio's Golden Cobra Challenge-winning larp about being a K-pop boyband (yes, this is an ongoing theme), which you can download for free here: http://www.goldencobra.org/pdf/2017/The%20Long%20Drive%20Back%20from%20Busan-CDavis.pdf

You made this larger than life! Thank you all so much for getting us here. To celebrate, we'll be planning our first stretch goal at $9,000 - a new Boy card, exclusive to Kickstarter backers

Want to hear more about Battle of the Boybands? Co-designer Clio Yun-su Davis chatted with Jason Slingerland on BTG about Battle of the Boybands! You can hear the episode here:

http://www.buildingthegamepodcast.com/2020/05/10/episode-415-bands-battle-and-maps-are-terrifying/?fbclid=IwAR2NCnkEN6eeOGWVZv0DlL6B_xrhCzpPgwTYHR4Yc7ZsSSfODBLX7-wq9NE

On another quick note, we just made an additional pledge level for those who want to purchase 2 copies of the game to get shipped to the same location! For that level, you'll get 2 copies at $50, plus $10 shipping.

We also forgot to mention that the cards are are tarot-sized (2.75” x 4.75") at 300 GSM, for those of you who are planning on getting sleeves. We chose tarot-sized, because it displays the artwork the best and makes the Boys really stand out. 

Speaking of artwork, we're almost at our first stretch goal at $9000! When we hit our goal, we'll be posting updates on how we're working with our artist, Renmiou to design our Kickstarter-exclusive Boy! <3
