Blood Rage Digital Kickstarter Now Live From CMON
December 5, 2018 by brennon
CMON is now on Kickstarter with a digital version of their hit board game, Blood Rage. As well as helping to design the digital game there are also some options for those who have the physical copy of the game too.
This is a short campaign with just five days left on it right now. This version of Blood Rage offers up a stunning digital version of the game with all of the bells and whistle you'd have imagined including a very interesting looking game board and more.
There is also a single player model as well as the network-based multiplayer for you to get stuck into with four people. There's even a way to mix things up and have maybe two Viking players and two as AI.
You can see more of the physical rewards open to backers as part of pledge here too.
The new Giant and Garm models are awesome giving you a few more interesting monsters to throw into the mix. There's also the new Stag Clan design with all of the bits and pieces you need to use them in the basic and expanded versions of Blood Rage.
If you want to be REALLY glam there's also the Golden Gods Of Asgard which are new versions of the miniatures that were available during the original campaign. They do look rather epic...
Are you tempted by this new version of the game?

It kind of makes me wonder why they need the money for this product …
People regularly take other hobby companies to task about the use of kickstarter. CMON is the reason why I will habitually say other companies aren’t so bad. They aggressively pursue kickstarters,they have no plan B. They don’t have much , if any follow up to the games after they are done with them. Reading their financials it appears that they habitually run at a loss and *pay* their company tax in the Cayman Islands even though they are a Hong Kong registered company. Their developers appear to be paid quite well from my reading of their last financials as it… Read more »
Their games do get retail release. As for follow up ? It’s no different than any other boardgame publisher. The top tier boardgame manufacturers follow the same model, except they use ‘normal’ investors instead of the crowdfunding variant to acquire funding. As a result they need a bigger marketing budget and/or rely on third party IP to promote their new releases. As such I’m not sure if there is any real difference, except in visibility of the process. Let’s not kid ourselves … CMON is hardly the only company to (ab)use tax havens like that. It may not be morally… Read more »
