Plaid Hat Games has a new Kickstarter for their next board game, The Monolith. This game features vicious combat to win the favor of the mysterious Monolith on a distant alien planet:
Plaid Hat Games is proud to announce The Monolith, an exciting board game experience for 3-4 players. This game of fast, brutal combat premiers on Kickstarter today!
Eager, spacefaring humans discovered an alien planet, only to learn a terrible danger was lying in wait. An ancient monolith of unknown origin has laid waste to their minds, turning them into frothing, violent lunatics who desire nothing more than to kill for the glory of the bloodthirsty stone. Players take on the role of shamans, powerful leaders who see themselves as the only true mouthpieces of the holy Monolith. The other shamans? Frauds and apostates who must be destroyed!
“We’re so excited to finally show The Monolith off to gamers,” says Colby Dauch, CEO of Plaid Hat Games. “We fell in love with this game the first time we played it and have worked hard to ensure this title is the premium experience it deserves to be. Every choice will be tense and exciting. This is a game that will create the kinds of memorable moments friends will keep talking about after the dust has settled.”
The Monolith is the latest release from Plaid Hat, celebrated by gamers and critics alike for previous releases balancing engaging story and characters with enticing and original gameplay mechanics to enhance the overall experience with repeat playability. Their marquee franchise Summoner Wars will expand upon its storyline with an original comic book series launching this fall, and their previous campaigns and titles have been universally acclaimed upon release.
The Monolith is a game of smart maneuvers, vicious combat, upgrading shamans with unstoppable powers, and boasting of the wanton slaughter committed for the glory of the laughing stone! Packed with gobs of highly detailed miniatures, including warriors, shamans, buildings, a towering monolith and... human hearts? But the high-quality components don't end there. The Monolith features a sprawling game board, double-layered player boards for tracking your shaman's forces, actions, and upgrades, and much more.
The Monolith is available for preorder exclusively on Kickstarter now, with campaign exclusives and more!
