And the answer to that question is: Most likely, YES! It WILL fit on YOUR table! :)

One of the many nice things about Rogue Angels is that four people can play the game around a normal sized card table (33 inch square). [this is NOT the case with many/most other legacy games]

Note: Rogue Angels is still a prototype and things might change in the final game.

To see if everything will fit around YOUR table, you could cut out some paper placeholders and then set them on your table to see how they will fit.

YES, I actually have done that for some games before ordering (or pledging for) them. Here is an article I wrote trying to figure out how many people could play the game Doomlings around various kinds of tables (and, yes, I had a prototype for Doomlings too:). For a simple card game, Doomlings took up A LOT OF SPACE!
=> My article on fitting Doomlings on tables

Most important with Rogue Angels: The main map and Ship Box map will need to be on the table; likely at the top of the table or near the center of the table. Space needed is 24 inches by 12 inches.

Players can sit below, above or to the side of the maps and need only a small amount of space for their character board and cards played on their cooldown track. Space needed is 10 inches wide 8 inches high per player.

I enjoyed these guys. Especially when they said that they enjoy playing games (but weren’t necessarily good at it:) Along with the clip I added this note from their one minute:

Really liked the way damage is done. Really really adored the combat system which was “different”. Map book should be the gold standard.

This is a very small but perfectly adequate dice tower. Rogue Angels only has four dice, and all four dice would roll easily in this personal dice tower. The dice also could be stored inside the dice tower and then it will fit inside the game box as well (for me with the prototype – the final game box may have inserts that hold the dice).

While most dice towers require table space, this personal dice tower could actually be set on top of a card just to roll the dice, and then held in your hand as you decide what to do with the dice roll. When you set it on the table it only requires 3.8 inches by 2.2 inches of space.

I found this one on Etsy. There are other similar ones, but it is a good example:

I purchased this myself at regular price and tested it with my prototype copy of Rogue Angels. The final game may differ.

Read about a dice tower storage box that is slightly bigger but will hold all the player cards as well as dice and tokens here:

I added a page where I will link to where you can find more info and backstory to our 16 heroes here:

Critical Fail got to play some missions with the prototype and has called Rogue Angels the “pick of the month”!

Here is a snapshot from the clip (you can click on it):

Colton at Board Game Officer has been playing Rogue Angels quite a bit. PLUS he actually watched 47 video reviews about the game and then made his own video summarizing what others were saying about Rogue Angels. His video is a perfect match for what I am doing with my collection of 1 minute video clips! We both are hoping to let you see what others are saying about the game without requiring you to watch all of them (over 100 videos now). So, it was fun to capture ONE MINUTE from Colton’s summary of 47 videos!

Highlights:

1. We surpassed the final stretch goal as the Kickstarter campaign ended
   
   Emil summed it up like this:
   Our last day turned out to be the second-best day in the entire campaign, and it is easy to see just how much you guys managed to spread the word and boost the visibility of the project. It seems that everything from project plan and marketing to engagement and goodwill came together in this campaign.
2. Rogue Angels is a reality and for that I thank you!
   
   A big thank you to Martin and Lisa for being on the team day and night. A big thank you to Len for the new fan site, a big thank you to all who have supported me in the comments like Leo and Raymond… a huge thanks to all playtesters!!

Still a few hours to go in the Kickstarter campaign, but we have now achieved every single stretch goal including the final 135,000 Euros goal:

Emil summed up this final stretch goal nicely:

The campaign epilogue will be our way of offering players a chance to say goodbye to characters, the team, the crew, and other NPCs they have encountered through the story. A short mission of banter, comeuppance, and perhaps a look into the future…

Trying to decide to back or not? The full rulebook has lots of full color large example illustrations. To show how the rules are actually quite straight forward, I wrote a summary of the rules in 1 1/2 pages. Both are available on the RULES page here:
=> Rules

Here is a snippet of the top left corner of the Rules Summary (yeah, it has minimal graphics):
