Battle Of The Bards Sings Its Heart Out On Kickstarter

February 3, 2019 by dracs

Junk Spirit Games have gone to Kickstarter with their new dice rolling game Battle of the Bards, where they have already secured the crowd's approval.

Battle of the Bards is a dice rolling game that also makes use of deck building elements. You start with your troupe of basic bards, three of which you'll send out each turn to perform on stage.

From there, you roll and allocate dice, post wanted posters to recruit veteran musicians, and gain victory points by winning over audiences.

This game immediately caught my attention due to its colourful art style and premise. It also helps that I love folk punk, so the minute I heard those first bars on the Kickstarter video it had my interest.

The idea of a fantasy battle of the bands is one that I find a lot of fun. The mechanics are fairly simple, allowing for good, family game sessions. I do wonder just how it would fare for more veteran gamers though.

Still, I think this is pretty music-with-rocks-in!

What would you name your bardic troupe?
