Stealth Ninja Miniatures Boardgame
GCT Studios are delighted to announce and reveal more about the upcoming release of our first-ever boardgame, Rise of the Kage.
In a game of Rise of the Kage, two to four players can choose to play as the ninja of the Shadow Wind clan; deadly warriors tasked with a variety of missions, all ultimately focused upon taking down the Takashi clan, the Jwar Isles' ruling family. Or you can choose those that have sworn their lives to protect their Daimyo: the brave guards of the Prefecture of Ryu.
The ninjas play cooperatively, discovering weapons from shuriken to poisoned rice, dispatching guards as they seek to complete their goals.
The guard boss employs all the resources at hand to bring their deadly foe to a halt. If they can hold them off until sunrise or raise the alarm, then all will be safe for another night.
Ninja or guards, players face difficult decisions. Do the ninja recklessly force their way through their opponents whilst undoubtedly raising the alarm level? Go too slowly and stealthily, though, and they face losing the advantage that night brings. Dawn ultimately bringing an un-reckonable force down upon them. Do the guards throw themselves in the way of their more deadly rivals, or strategically attempt to slow them down? Rise of the Kage offers a great blend of sneaky skills and gobsmacking kills.
Rise of the Kage continues to build upon the rich tapestry of the world of the Jwar Isles begun by Bushido. We are committed to delivering a top quality product, and hope that our Bushido fans will get behind this project. We will be looking to raise funds via Kickstarter, firstly to allow us to do so, covering the large production costs, whilst also providing the potential to add so much more to the game. We have the ideas and, with your support, we will bring them to life.
For now, we'd appreciate you telling your friends about Rise of the Kage. Come across and like our Facebook page to keep in touch with the game as it progresses. We'll be revealing loads of cool stuff from art to models over the coming weeks. What's more, for every 200 Facebook followers we get for the Rise of the Kage Facebook page by next Saturday, we are going to give one player his choice of Wave 19 Bushido models. Get 1,000 likes, and five players will win a free Bushido model. And so on. Help us give away as many as possible…
