So the new 2nd edition of Victory Point Games' solitaire Nemo's War has been showing up to KS backers.
By the time the original caught my eye, they had just stopped selling it in favor of doing this second edition. But I'm often averse to KS backing since I'm often okay with picking up a Retail copy later on.
But I'm starting to get a bit itchy, wondering how many extras are gonna be available for retail. Since VPG outsourced the production on these - figured I'd start looking for a copy early on.
Lo and behold, an availability post on The Geek pointed to https://www.thegamesteward.com/
I'd never seen it before, but apparently they stock up on bulk retailer KS versions, with KS extras. And they still have some KS copies of Nemo's War left. :dreamer: Not sure if the extras were actually worth a damn, but what the hell - it'll be the same price as retail anyway.
My wallet still hates me.

I thought so too. And I'm sure they would make steady sales considering the rate at which big expensive boardgames are going through KS these days.
Had often seen those KS pledge levels with 5x or 10x quantities for retailers. But didn't really know of any retailers who backed & selected those options. Now I do! :bd:

+1, cool find Nefaro!
Did you ever get this to the table, Nef?
Curious what you (or anyone else with this game) thinks of it.

Not yet. I have a sizable stack of games, including
Nemo's War, waiting to get on the table.
I've been doing some RPG gaming & prep lately, especially with the holidays coming up and people looking to play them, so my solo gaming has been on hold recently. Hope to start catching up on my unplayed board games in between, once the RPG stuff gets rolling smoothly.
All the reviews I see, of the new
Nemo's War, highly praise it. Mainly for solitaire, of course, since that's what it was made for. I'd be surprised if it rubbed me wrong, but ya never know.
I finally got this myself, but had to save up for a bit. It wasn't getting any cheaper and Alan said it was getting an update through a KS that'll be out next September, but I didn't want to wait nine more months to try to get a copy.

Getting an update?
Or a reprint?
???
I think it's an update. "Nautilus Upgrades Expansion + Reprint. (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/567823005/nemos-war-nautilus-upgrades-expansion-reprint)"
Just about every review I've seen absolutely raves about the game, and this KS was fully funded, the page says, in four hours. :o

Ahh.. so new stuff. :nerd: :)
Yup. I figure if I love the game I'll get the expansion pack at some point.

I get the impression there is a lot of replayability in the core game, but I don't blame them for building on popular success. :)
Oh heck no. More power to them in fact! :)
