Battle The Big Bads Of Middle-earth, Build A Subterranean City, And More On Kickstarter Now
Come check out this week’s batch of crowdfunding and Kickstarter highlights – including board games, card games, and RPGs!
Beyond the Woods
The Mist RPG is going on a new adventure in a new setting with Beyond the Woods. Inspired by Irish mythology, this setting is equal parts beautiful and scary. What ancient secrets will you find hidden?
Discover the shadowed lands of Tír Nascath, an unforgiving dark fantasy world inspired by ancient Irish myth and legend. You and a band of unlikely allies must leave the safety of Céad Darach, the last great city, to explore long-forgotten ruins, uncover otherworldly magic, and face gruesome horrors, all in the hopes of finding something that can save your home.
Beyond the Woods offers fans of Legend in the Mist a new way to play, trading the rustic fantasy charm of Ravensdale for a beautiful and terrifying world inspired by Irish mythology and influenced by games like Elden Ring. Beyond the Woods gives players the freedom to explore the lands of Tír Nascath, hex by hex, and to customise their map as they brave fallen cities, rediscover lost villages, and uncover the secret history of this ancient and mysterious world.

Foes of Middle-Earth
This Lord of the Rings game will let players go on the same adventures and fight in the same battles as their favorite LOTR characters, but as a tile-placement board game. Despite being based on the famous books, games promise to be unique every time you play. And with a map that is only uncovered as tiles are played, the landscape will never be exactly the same twice.
In The Lord of the Rings: Foes of Middle-Earth, players will explore several iconic locations from Arda, represented by tiles in a way never seen before. Each tile is randomly placed on the board, concealing its region, which will only be revealed when explored by a hero. This mechanic makes your journey through Middle-Earth always different and unique.
Enemies will try to prevent you from completing your journey, demanding strength, courage, and resolve from the heroes to defeat them. Each adventure will culminate in a vital moment that befell the Fellowship of the Ring, from the conflict against the Watcher in the Water to the battles in the Hall of Moria. These hectic moments will define the future of the heroes in their final battle against the fearsome Balrog of Moria.

Glimmerdeep
Glimmerdeep is a gorgeous game of exploration, gathering resources, and growing society in a glimmering subterranean location. With eight factions and 4 maps, there are a ton of ways to play without landing in the same situation twice. And every choice characters make – from where they dig to what they build – will change the course of the game.
Far below the surface, where echoes dance and crystals gleam, lies Glimmerdeep – a forgotten realm teeming with possibility. Here, critters craft wonders from the Each, forging bonds and burrows in the shimmering dark.
AdvertisementAt the heart of the shared world lies the Grand Excavation – a vast, ever-expanding nexus of tunnels and chambers where factions labor side by side. Though each works independently, all contribute to the growing story of Glimmerdeep. Here, prosperity is measured not by conquest, but by what each factions builds, perfects, and leaves behind.
