Emira’s background story from Kickstarter Update #22:
Russian Video Review of the Prototype
Even before the Kickstarter campaign was concluded there was a video review in Russian (with English subtitles) posted on YouTube! You can take a look back at how the game looked from gamers in Russia here:
Both Editions, Both Expansions (and a shirt)
Awaken Realms should begin shipping This War of Mine: The Board Game out this week to all those who purchased it during Awaken Realms special sale to benefit Ukraine!
If you purchased a copy during that sale, you should be getting the Core Game box on the right in the photo below but NOT the Kickstarter Stretch Goals (they do not have any left*). If you look closely at the photo you can see the slight difference on the cover of the box … the one on the right includes the Awaken Realms logo! The boxes on the bottom of the photo are the two retail expansions put out by Galakta. The shirt is from Red Bubble.
* Please note the main page of the Awaken Realms Ukraine Support campaign states: “Core Box DOES NOT include Stretch Goals from the campaign (unfortunately, we do not have SGs left in stock)”
Shirts (15 styles and 18 colors)
Why not wear a This War of Mine T-Shirt while playing the game?
There are 15 different T-Shirt styles plus 18 different colors!
You can click on the photos to jump to their website!
Another example (from the 15 styles):
Roll the black D10 in place of a color card
Perhaps you will find it tedious (as I do) to have to keep shuffling the 5 color cards merely to pick a random color! Since there already is a D10 die in the game, why not use it to select the color! Here is a card to print that lets you do just that:
=> D10 Color Selector (at BoardGameGeek)
Use that link to get the exact size printable card that you can place on top of the Colors card deck. Or just make your own card that specifies what color each die roll selects, like this:
- 1-2 Black
- 3-4 Gray
- 5-6 Red
- 7-8 Green
- 9-10 Blue
