Hello Smoke Citizens! This is the Smoke City Board Game's official discussion thread. We'll keep you up to date on the game's progress here, and there are lots of things for the community to influence.
Smoke City is an action-packed competitive board game for 2-4 players.
Our Indiegogo campaign for pre-orders opens on 4 / 20 / 2016! The games will be shipped in October-November. All of the graphics, production and fulfillment lines are ready.
We will use a part of the profits in the work for global legalization. If the crowdfunding campaign is successful with the minimum amount ($20.000), we will give 10% of the profits towards ending the prohibition. If the crowdfunding campaign is very successful and we get $50.000, we're giving 20% of the profits for legalization! If we're WILDLY successful, the percentage goes even higher!
This percentage will be locked at the end of the campaign and will concern all the future profits of the game as well!
Idea of the game:
Players run around city completing quests, smoking weed as much as they can, all the while trying to hinder their opponents' game with all sorts of bad mojo and avoiding paranoia cards. Despite the game's theme, the game is pretty fast paced cutthroat action, where situations may change suddenly and players need to adapt quickly. If you have played Magic the Gathering or other competitive card games, you might see a surprising amount of similarities in Smoke City.
There isn't much backstabbing in the game as previously advertised... We realized backstabbing needs cooperative elements and treachery, and there aren't many in the game. What the game actually contains is FRONT stabbing, and a lot of it!
We just finished our picture contest for the green deck, and there were many winners! There were some absolutely beautiful entries, go check the contest out!
My close friend Aleksi is our 420magazine community guy, so most of your questions and comments will be addressed by him. If you want to contact me personally, you can e-mail me at: hello@smokecity.net
This is very much an indie title with grassroots beginnings, and very hard to get publicity without a big advertising budget! Any help you can give us will be deeply appreciated!
Kind regards,
main designer of the game Heikki
