Take a Loka at Alessio Cavatore’s Fantasy Chess Kickstarter!
February 23, 2013 by dracs
Well we have been excited about this for a while and now it is finally making its Kickstarter debut; Loka the Fantasy Chess game from Mantic Games!
The Loka Kickstarter aims to bring you both a well sculpted chess set and a cool new fantasy style chess game, seeing you control the armies of the various elements.
The kickstarter aims to bring you the first of the plastic chess sets for Loka, as well as the PDF for the rules.
As more funding comes in the other faction chess sets should be appearing, along with a hard copy of the rules and even terrain pieces.
I have always loved chess, the more intricate the sets the better, so I am really excited by this game. I am particularly looking forward to the Earth style elemental force.
The concepts for the rules and variants of standard chess are really intriguing and I think that this will definitely be one kickstarter I will be chipping in for.
Will you be getting into Alessio's new vision of chess?

$5500 to go and it get funded 🙂
Funded! nuff said 😀 Grats Alessio
Shame its in $ and not £ despite being in UK, that means a CC exchange rate fee 🙁
it’s only minimal though, about £1.50, but I know what you mean, an unnecessary cost. Especially as I live in Nottm to. You can get a whole day bus ticket for £3.40. I could go put the money in his pocket and pick up my box, hehe
Jumped in as the 4th or 5th backer on this one 🙂 … Only ks my wife has ever insisted I back!?!
