Featured crowdfunding game
MourneQuest
The evil Shimnavore must be defeated! Players collect charms, equipment and relics to increase their power as they journey to the Mourne Mountains. However enemies, like Bogbeans and Banshees, stand in their way, and players must rely on their skills and combat abilities to overcome them.
MourneQuest is for 2-4 players, and is based on the MorneQuest teen novel series by Garry McElherron. The game will be published by Backspindle Games, who are also running the Kickstarter. It has an AUD$50,668 goal and has currently raised more than AUD$41,000 with 18 days to go.
This is Backspindle Games first Kickstarter, but they have previously published such titles as Luchador! and Clacks.
