Fight To Survive In Dawn: Rise Of The Occulites
July 1, 2013 by brennon
Eagle Games have a neat and quirky looking Kickstarter in the works to bring their game Dawn: Rise Of The Occulite to the tabletop. It looks fun and insanely odd at the same time, so a perfect combination!
This awesome little game has all these fun and weird looking miniatures but it's actually a bit of a hybrid board game too. You'll be taking on the role of leader for one of the tribes in the game and through evolution, development and of course a bit of fighting you'll fight to become dominant!
Above you can see two of the oddball tribes within the game, and there are plenty more where that came from. You will also see an introduction video at the top two where the designer goes into a bit more detail about this game.
It sure looks like it has a quirky fun side to it and they are very close to hitting their target (at time of writing). I'm interested to see more about this game and the models are very charming.
Are you getting drawn into Dawn?

This looks to be a cracking game. Mini-gamers may think they are being short changed on the number of mini’s but every one is a different sculpt and you get a ton of other stuff to play the game and not just the main models. It’s worth checking out other vids on BGG and You Tube for more info as there is a lot of depth to this game even with just the basic starter rules.
Inventive stuff. Really original mini concepts. This is very, very interesting.
