New York Bop by Ghetto Miniatures is getting relaunched on the 1st May, after coming so close to funding first time around, hopefully with a restructured campaign they will fund this time round.

New York Bop is a tabletop skirmish game set in the 1970s, gangs battle it out over a campaign map of the New York City boroughs or just in one-off games.

There are 4 starter gangs to choose from, with various pledges ranging from just PDF rules to create your own gang member.

Il post the start time once it has been determined by Ghetto Miniatures.

After a slight delay New York Bop is now LIVE ON KICKSTARTER and already 50% funded.

New York Bop is a tabletop skirmish game set in the 1970s, gangs battle it out over a campaign map of the New York City boroughs or just in one-off games.

There are 4 starter gangs to choose from, with various pledges ranging from just PDF rules to create your own gang member, every pledge comes with a free Exclusive Kickstarter miniature "Caesar".

The four starting gangs are The Braves, The Ballers, The Skins and The Black Cobras.

Ghetto miniatures are 28mm in scale from foot to eye level and each gang member miniature will have their own baseball style stats card.

A game of New York Bop is played with 8 gang members over a 3' x 3' battleground, Gang Warlords are the leaders and issue command orders to their street soldiers, event cards add an element of unpredictability to the game, as you never know when or what cards your rival is going to use to mess up your plans.

The rules will also contain full campaign rules and map, which will allow you to fight over the New York Boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and The Bronx, as you battle through the campaign you will be able to expand your gang and upgrade your member's ranks and weapons.

@Terrement i hear you ive brought X mini to go with X minis and when i get them they just look out of place because of vairable 28mm scales

Original Timmy08 May 2016 1:59 p.m. PST

They are just over 90% funded.

There was an update going into detail on the stat cards.

"With the gang stat card we have went for a 70's baseball card theme. The card gives you all the Bopper stats that will be used during the game. Each card will be the size of an ordinary playing card (2.5 x 3.5 inches) and can easily fit into gaming card protective sleeves.

As part of your pledge you will get a pdf for all of the figures that we will release for the Kickstarter. We will also have blank templates available on our website, so that you can make your own cards."*
