Update #24: Imperial Crusade Freedom Is Now On Kickstarter

Posted on March 30

I want to announce that Imperial Crusade Freedom is now available for pre-order on Kickstarter.  It adds the Freetrade Coalition and Outland Alliance to the Imperial Crusade universe.  The game will include forty double sided durable and glossy plastic ship cards that make the game so special.  If you are interested in the game please use the following link to support the project:

I'm also releasing Wizard's Tournament which is a fantasy deck building game.  It is the perfect union of your favorite euro deck building games and the customizable card games that you played in college.  If you felt that Imperial Crusade Armada was a quality game please support our new project using the following link:

Update #23: Wizard's Tournament Has Just Been Released

Posted on January 12

I wanted to announce that my newest game, Wizard's Tournament, has just been released.  It is a fantasy deck building game that is a mix  between Magic: The Gathering and Dominion.  I want to thank you for all your support and just want to ask you to take a look at my new game.

Update #22: Imperial Crusade Freedom and Hydra Laser Errata

Posted on January 12

I've finally finished the beta "print and play" version of the expansion to the game titled Imperial Crusade Freedom that I promised when the Kickstarter project first started. It needs a lot of work so please send any comments to jtkoso@gmail.com.

The first errata that I've decided to make to Imperial Crusade Armada is a change to the hydra laser to help balance game play.  All three of its shots must be aimed at the same target every time it is activated.

Hydra Laser: Hydra lasers use an electromagnetic field to bend and direct multiple laser beams at a target.  A hydra laser icon fires three times when it is activated.  These three beams must be aimed at the same target.  A separate Attack roll must be made for each beam fired.  A hydra laser can be fired in any direction.

Update #21: All Games Have Been Shipped

Posted on January 11

I finished shipping every supporter's copy of Imperial Crusade Armada.  Supporters in the U.S. should get their game by the middle of the next week.  International supporters please give two weeks for delivery.  I want to thank everyone for their help on this project because I could never have done it without you.  If you want to help me further, please rate the game on BoardGameGeek once you've had a chance to play it.

Thanks,

James

      Got mine today! Card quality is amazing. As my first Kickstarter project I am very impressed with the time put into ensuring quality in the final product. Great work, James

      Everything is great, but I am a bit disappointed by the thickness of the box. Having the second set of cards in there, it feels too thin and wobbly

      Hi! just wanted to make sure that you have the correct address for me since nothing has come in yet. of course since I'm sending this now...it will come in the mail tomorrow! :) if it does...I'll let you know!

Update #20: Shipping of Imperial Crusade Armada

Posted on January 5

I hope everyone had a happy holiday and great new year.  The cards look great and everything has been packaged.  I have already mailed one third of the orders.  The only thing holding me back on the other orders is that I'm waiting for a supply of packaging material.  The boxes will hopefully be here by tomorrow and I can finish all the orders.

      Awesome! Can't wait to play with my son. I'm envisioning battles on the wall with blue sticky tack.

      I just got mine. Everything looks great. You may need to tape the boxes shut though. Both of mine came open during shipping. No damage.
