It’s called Four Corners and it involves placing and twisting tiles in order to create a pattern before your opponents can.

From the campaign:

Four Corners is a living puzzle! Secret goals and ever-changing strategies create beautiful, ephemeral images in this captivating board game.

Using the innovative, modular, Tip-Pivot gameboard you will easily place, rotate, move, and swap tiles…all without jostling the rest of the board!

Every player strives to complete the puzzle and achieve their own secret goals by manipulating the board and adapting to changing strategies. The winner is the first player to complete all three of their goals!

Through this Four Corners campaign, you can be the first to own this revolutionary new game in two different styles: GALAXY and KALEIDOSCOPE!

The campaign’s around 7/8 of the way to their goal with 31 days left to go.

Tsuro: Rising Phoenix Up On Kickstarter https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/tsuro-rising-phoenix-up-on-kickstarter/ https://www.tabletopgamingnews.com/tsuro-rising-phoenix-up-on-kickstarter/#respond Fri, 11 Jan 2019 15:03:00 +0000 https://tabletopgamingnewscom.bigscoots-staging.com/?p=585 I really enjoy Tsuro from Calliope Games. It’s that type of abstract strategy game that I just adore. Well, a new version is up on Kickstarter now in honor of Calliope’s 10th Anniversary. It’s Tsuro: Rising Phoenix, and it adds in new concepts like diagonal movement, a molded board, and the ability to rise again from the ashes like the titular bird of flame.

From the campaign:

At Calliope Games, we are thrilled to celebrate our 10 Year Anniversary!  Over the past decade, our library of gateway and filler games have entertained, inspired, and provided an opportunity to make memories around the game table, and it all started with our flagship title, Tsuro: The Game of the Path.  We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate this 10 year milestone than by returning to the series that started it all – so we welcome you to the launch of a brand new Tsuro game!

Long ago, a vengeful god stole the stars from the night sky. To illuminate the night, brave people released glowing paper lanterns toward the heavens. This act of hope summoned clever magical phoenixes, who soared through the sky and raced toward the lanterns.

In Tsuro: Phoenix Rising, an exhilarating new entry in the classic Tsuro series, each player is a phoenix, soaring across the board in an effort to reach glowing lanterns and transform them into new stars in the night sky.  The first player to collect seven star tokens wins the game!

Tsuro: Phoenix Rising builds upon the foundation of classic Tsuro – you must play tiles to extend your path, traverse the board, and be aware of your surroundings – but it adds exciting new features such as double-sided path tiles that allow for diagonal movement and can be flipped and rotated to choose your destination, as well as a revolutionary new molded board.  As a phoenix, you also have the astounding ability to rise from the ashes and return to the board once per game! 

The campaign’s closing in on 4x funded with still 29 days left to go.
