My friends over at Kazrak miniatures have launched their kickstarter campaign for the board game "Saber & Blood". It's a small scale "brawl" game where combat is done with both special fencing dice and cards. The fighting aspects of the game are really well done, and there a a bunch of scenarios in the core rulebook that I had the pleasure of reviewing a while back.

The game is set in 17th century eastern Europe and the core factions are Poles and Cossacks, with more factions available for the game if all goes well.

The Kickstarter is straight forward, single level entry, no nonsense. At 55£ you get the game and all unlocked stretch goals. I hope it does well. So if you are interested, help spread the word and back the game!

Interesting & yet another KS backed. Today is turning into an expensive KS day (4 today)!

Cossacks! Yes!

I remember a game very similar to this being shown at Historicon. I THINK the minis were called 1665 (I bought a few because they looked so beautiful). Wonder if it's by the same people.

@TheKing30 – what you mentioned is called Anno Domini 1666 and it's not done by the same company :)

Looks intriguing, it's very nice to see a central European swashbuckling setting.

Will there be a 'Just The Miniatures Please' pledge level?

Saber & Blood Kickstarter update

The guys running the Saber & Blood campaign have made some changes to the campaign – adding one of the unlockable factions "The Deceived ones" straight to the core box.

It is also important to know, that pledging for the game – even at a standard level – gives you every single unlocked feature for free! So new factions, decks of command cards, boards and tokens for a mere £55.00 GBP!

For those not knowing much about the game it is also worth mentioning that each faction is made up of roughly 3 models with its very own command deck. That is important because much flavor of the faction and the combos you can pull off during gameplay derive from those decks. The locations also have their own "location decks" featuring terrain elements that can be used against your opponents during the brawls. You may also need to know that the game is not simply about killing every opponent miniature, but rather about objectives that require you to outsmart your enemies more often than beating them to a bloody pulp.

I really look forward to seeing the additional game boards unlcoked, but am also keen to see how the other factions that we know little about to this date will unfold (Musketeers, Brotherhood of faith and the wolf maidens).

The guys have also uploaded several videos presenting the game, including a video about gameplay.

If you think this looks interesting, don't hesitate to check out their campaign and back the game. They are a small company with a true "indie" product that has huge potential and really need the kickstarter to actually manufacture the game rather than use the kickstarter for pre-order as is common these days!
