Preproduction copies of Seas of Havoc have arrived! If you didn't back one of our most critically acclaimed games, check out our website for late pledge information. This update originally appeared on the Seas of Havoc Kickstarter page and is reposted here so that fans can keep up to date with Rock Manor Games projects. This month we received our preproduction samples which included all of the printed components (cards, cardboard, paper, etc): Even though this is only digital printing, it's really exciting to see the games start to come together.... You’ll need to protect the fire at the workshop in our upcoming expansion to Set Watch! Our winterlands realm pack will add a new creature deck to face and can be mixed/matched with any core game or can be added as a new realm to any doomed run. Disco Heist Laundry is coming to Kickstarter this September.  Each word of the title actually captures something important about the game. Playtesting Set a Watch: Winterlands realm pack. Crazy fun to come back to this game after the intense testing we had during COVID. Great new creature deck, thematic new locations, but the new character lacked an identity. Luckily since Todd played the new one, he had some great ideas to try for next time. Amped for this one! Damage tokens for Stardriven: Gateway looking pretty #boardgames #tabletopgames Travel back in time to the radical 1980s where you'll put together a crew of criminals for the heist of the decade. Play a Crew member to your montage, move about the city to avoid the cops, gather intel, and then grab the most cash when the window of opportunity opens. After you've stolen your big score, you'll need to cash out and launder that money to win the game. When attacking from mid or long range, there’s new graphics and UI to better represent that coming to the video game. Reviewing the PPC of all the printed components for StarDriven:Gateway… looking good and making progress!
