Gamelyn Games is a publisher that I have a great deal of respect for. While many publishers are trying to prove that bigger is better, they have found the ability to break down a game to its most basic parts. While this may sound simplistic, the games still provide a rich experience, but they take a fraction of the time to set up and play. Not only that, but their boxes are very portable and affordable. Gamelyn Games has announced that Tiny Epic Kingdoms, the latest brainchild from Scott Almes, has now been posted on Kickstarter.
In TEK, you are a tiny kingdom with big ambitions. You want to expand your population throughout the realms, learn powerful magic, build grand towers, and have your neighbors quiver in fear at the mention of your name. The conflict? All of the other kingdoms want the same thing and there’s not enough room for everyone to succeed…
Each player starts with a unique faction, a small territory, and a technology tree to grant them unique faction-specific magical abilities as the game progresses. Players will collect resources, explore other territories, battle each other, research magic, and work to build a great tower to protect their realm. The final round of the game is triggered when a player maxes out either their Magic Level, Population, or Tower.
Tiny Epic Kingdoms is a 4X game that supports 2-4 players and plays in 30-60 minutes. The game has been up for a day and it’s already fully funded, along with several stretch goals. For a $16 game, that’s incredibly impressive. Seriously, check out the Tiny Epic Kingdoms Kickstarter page and check it out.
While not working as a Database Administrator, Keith Schleicher has been associated with Gaming Trend since 2003. While his love of video games started with the Telestar Alpha (a pong console with four different games), he trule started playing video games when he received the ill-fated TI-99/4A. While the Speech Synthesizer seemed to be the height of gaming, eventually a 286 AT computer running at 8/12 Hz and a CGA monitor would be his outlet for a while. Eventually he’d graduate to 386, 486, Pentium, and Athlon systems, building some of those systems while doing some hardware reviews and attending Comdex. With the release of the Dreamcast that started his conversion to the console world. Since then he has acquired an NES, SNES, PS2, PS3, PSP, GBA-SP, DS, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One S, Gamecube, Wii, Switch, and Oculus Quest 2. While not playing video games he enjoys bowling, reading, playing board games, listening to music, and watching movies and TV. He originally hails from Wisconsin but is now living in Michigan with his wife and sons.
