Virgins' Villagers

by Mike Minutillo

Hey there Kickers! How was your week? Today was my brothers birthday so we gathered together and finally taught the kids to play Evolution: Climate. I think they enjoyed it (although mainly the idea that they could eat each others species).

I also received my copy of Western Legends this week. I thought I was missing all of the cards but it turns out they had somehow ended up under the insert. I found them in the end. It looks really cool and I look forward to trying it out.

Right now there are 237 live Kickstarter Campaigns in the Tabletop Games category (down 7 from last week). Of those, 105 (44.3%) have already reached their funding goal. 60 (25.3%) have related BGG pages that I can find.

What are you playing? What are you backing? Which of your carefully cultured species is the tastiest? Drop us a comment below and tell us!

Check out [url=http://kickthetable.com[/url] for an up to date list of Kickstarter Campaigns in the Tabletop Games category. Hit the subscribe button and next week we'll head down to the watering hole and bring back a full belly of Kick the Table updates, just for you.
