The Pirates have Landed – and the Senators are prepping for take-off!

Hey there Peeps,

It’s been another lively month here at the Guntower, and we’ve got plenty of news to share.  

TL;DR:

·       Pandora: Pirates & Salvage fulfilment is complete

·       Carta Imperia Print files have been delivered

·       We’re at 3 conventions this August – come say ‘Hi’

·       A sneak peek at our plans for what’s coming next

PIRATES & SALVAGE HAS LANDED

Last week, we shipped out the final Pirates deliveries to reviewers and late Pledge Manager backers. 

This means that Pirates & Salvage is now officially complete!

We Funded, Printed and Fulfilled to all who completed the PM on time in three months – and fully Fulfilled in five.  That’s something we’re  genuinely proud of, and we’re very grateful you trusted us to make this happen.

We hope you’re having a blast with it. If you are, we’d love to hear your adventures. Drop us a rating on BGG and post your gameplay pics on your favourite socials.  We’d love to see what chaos you unleashed! 😁

CARTA IMPERIA IS READY TO PRINT!

No sooner is one project in the bag than the Guntower is firing off another salvo of print files for the next one. 

All the files for Carta Imperia have now been approved, and printing begins this week. 

If all runs smoothly, we’ll have finished copies airmailed to us at the end of September, ready to Fulfil in October before we take it to Essen.

We’re also building the Pledge Manager in Hive, which should go live mid-August.  Keep an eye out for the PM email if you’ve backed the game.

If you missed the boat, don’t worry. You can still Late Pledge here, or pick it up at Essen if you’re coming to Spiel (though naturally it’ll cost a little more than the original Kickstarter).

COME PLAY WITH US!

August is going to be a whirlwind of conventions and we’d love to meet you at one of them.

Canterbury on 15/16^th  August (our most local con)

Norwich on  22^nd August (a little further afield)

Strange Games Festival in Sussex on the last Bank Holiday in August (one of Mike’s favourite cons)

We’ll have all our games on display, and we’re always delighted to meet the friends of the Guntower. Come say “hi”, have a chat and try out anything that catches your eye. 😊

SO WHAT’S NEXT?

You didn’t think we were done, did you? 

Mike’s got plenty of designs simmering away, but we’re taking our time to develop them fully. We’ve got a couple of big projects that will take over a year to get ready – and Mike’s itching to revisit one of his old card games and give it a dramatic overhaul.

Here’s your first taste of what’s coming:

Spaghetti Sixguns:

You know that moment in every spaghetti western, when the talking stops, the harmonica wails, and the camera tightens on narrowed eyes beneath the brim of a dusty hat...? This card game lives in that long, sun-baked moment before the draw.

Play your cards to load the odds in your favour, get the drop on your rivals, and make sure that when the music stops and the sixguns blaze, you’re the last one standing.

Space Ark:

The Earth is dying. Its climate is collapsing and Humanity’s last hope is rising in orbit.

You command one of six Mega-Corporations: rivals bound together by necessity, each competing to shape the Space Ark before the exhausted world falls silent.

Strategically place worker-dice to forge ruthless production chains that sacrifice Earth’s dwindling resources and bring the vital Modules of Humanity’s last hope online.

But salvation has a price: the Corporation that controls the key Modules will command the Ark and dictate what kind of future, if any, Humanity deserves.

Roma Lycanthropa:

Beneath the moonlit pillars of ancient Rome, Vampires and Werewolves wage a secret war for the city’s immortal soul.

This blood-soaked narrative adventure twists the true history of the Roman Republic into something far more uncanny: using blood-memory, shapeshifters, mythical creatures and a unique combat system that captures the deadly dance of hand-to-hand struggle in a way that’s never been seen before.
