Quick reminder that on Monday, September 30, 2024 the late pledge price on Gamefound will go up by about $5. If you are thinking about getting Rogue Angels, you can save $5 by late pledging before the price goes up! Here is the official reminder from the official September 2024 update:

Board Game Officer did a marvelous job with this video. And I don’t say “job” lightly … he actually watched 47 video reviews (and TOOK NOTES) … then he compiled the Good, the Bad and the Unique into one video all in under 30 minutes. I haven’t seen anything like it before! Good Work!

The video itself is from a year ago, but it really sums up everything Rogue Angels so well … and is a perfect way to review everything that is part of Rogue Angels now that there is another Mass Effect game coming out soon. So if you are wondering which of the two games to get, I’d suggest this:

1. Watch the 47 Reviews Summarized Video
2. Read the 4 page Mass Effect Rules Summary to get an idea of how that game works
3. Read my 3 page comparison article

Here is everything you need:

If you like comparing games … I made a video comparing ISS Vanguard and Rogue Angels that you might enjoy:

And if you decide that you like Rogue Angels … be sure to put in your “order” (actually a Late Pledge now) for it! The price will go up slightly at the end of this month plus it is a more limited printing (is that the term?) of only 3,000 copies!

And a final thought … and final THANK YOU to Board Game Officer! That was a TON of work to put together your review of reviews! Thank you so much! And let’s end this with the image that Board Game Officer wants you to see:

=> Official Update (Kickstarter #32 and Gamefound #11)

Highlights:

1. 
   Przemek Kozlowski finished more maps!
   
   New maps include a Reaver transport ship, a world with rivers of tar, a civilized area of Changeling space, container deployments on a moon somewhere, a dark moon of another world, a huge storage facility, a scrapyard ship and a facility with a long conveyor belt.Rogue Angels is not an exploration game, so to speak. But you will explore a lot of the galaxy when travelling to different points of conflict, collecting intel, stealing technology, and saving people from evil :)Angelita Ramos added more new faces for the story that includes about 100 faces for various encounters and quests. It will require several playthroughs to see them all and experience their stories! [see images at the top of this summary]
2. 
   The story is coming along nicely, but can’t share much of the planned consequences, dilemmas and special moments in order to keep it spoiler-free. But at the moment, the main campaign now consists of 975 pages. The PDF was created from over 48 THOUSAND cells of data! The story DOES depend upon your choices and mission outcomes. For example, the last mission in Chapter 5 has 16 different middle sections plus several different endings that set up for the final battle between good and evil in Chapter 6. It will be mathematically very unlikely that you will experience the same game twice, even if you try to :) Each player is one of SIXTEEN different heroes plus there are so many layers of choices both IN the missions and BETWEEN the missions that you (and your friends) will probably get very different experiences!

For the curious … I am in a Board Game Tournament here in Madison, WI this summer. I have to play 8 different games (on Tuesday evenings) and see how I do playing each game twice. There are about a dozen people in the tournament. The first Tuesday of June was Catan … I took 2nd and 4th :) This coming Tuesday is Machi Koro (and you can see that I played it over a dozen times trying to figure out a strategy:) Here are the games that I played last month:

In under two hours you can get a taste of 120 (or more by the time you might be reading this) short video clips! I created a one minute (often less) clip from the videos that were in the English language (because I lack the ability to learn other languages).

I provided a clickable list of all 120 of these video clips in reverse chronological order (the most recent at the top of the list).

Try watching a clip or two (or ten) and if that clip seems interesting to you, then I also provide a link to the full video right there in the list!
