The World of Smog: On Her Majesty’s Service up on Kickstarter from CoolMiniOrNot

CoolMiniOrNot is glad to announce the launch of its new Kickstarter campaign! In a partnership with Panache Animations, we bring you The World of Smog: On Her Majesty's Service, a strategical steampunk board game for two to four players. The Kickstarter campaign offers exclusive content for backers and a lot more to be unlocked as the campaign progresses. In The World of Smog: On Her Majesty's Service, each player controls a different Gentleman, tasked by Queen Victoria to journey into the Shadow Market and bring her four precious Artefacts. To do so, they'll need to navigate the underworld of shifting gears that is the Shadow Market, buying and selling the different Ethers in order to have the Coins necessary to acquire all four of the Artefacts. One unique aspect of On Her Majesty's Service is that each player may only interact with the icons that are facing their edge of the board. Since the tiles that make up the board are frequently rotated by the players' actions, the landscape of options available to each player is in constant change. Manipulating the board to one's advantage (and to hinder your opponents) is crucial to victory. Gathering the different Ethers (mana, blood, titanium and ectoplasm) is also essential to allow the players to activate the powerful Special Action cards they can gain. And more importantly, once they've acquired all four Artefacts, they'll need to have the right amount of each Ether to match their Secret Combination in order to be allowed to leave the Shadow Market through their Secret Gate. Thus, choosing what Ethers to buy and when to sell them is a key factor to making sure your whole plan lines up. The Gentlemen are not alone in the Shadow Market, however. The Agents of the Shadow Master rule this place, and each of them has a different ability that often hinders (but may sometimes aid) the Gentlemen's progress. Players can pay a tribute to the Shadow Master in order to gain his favour, allowing them some control over the Agents' actions.   Game Contents Game board with 12 rotating tiles 4 Gentleman figures 6 Agent figures 30 coin tokens 30 Hourglass tokens 16 Ether counters 4 Gentleman dashboards 67 cards The gears are in motion for The World of Smog!
