Hi , August is almost gone and with it the last chance to back Kabula! Our pledge manager is closing in less than 30h. Since many readers joined our newsletter in the last few weeks, we decided to write a short summary to help you decide if Kabula is a game for you or not! This mail has no new content, if you are a "Kabula pro" you can ignore this and just stay tuned for the real newsletter, scheduled in 3 weeks time! |

Kabula is a competitive game which takes a humorous, satirical twist on the fantasy theme. Each player takes on the role of one human hero, summoned from modern-Earth into a fantasy Island where the Kabula Tree grants immortality to all inhabitants. Kabula plays with 1-5 players, with Hero automa cards available to play solo or to increase player count in multiplayer games. |

The Island where the game is set is already being corrupted by the technology which arrives from Earth and the players will completely tilt the balance by attempting to steal the Kabula Tree and defeat the Guardian which protects it. The hero who has the Kabula when the Guardian is defeated, wins the game. But remember, after the Kabula has been stolen, death is permanent and the Guardian may wipe you all out! During the game you will: Manage resources on your Player Mat to perform actions on the board.

|
Explore dungeons or go into shops to collect new weapons, armors and snacks cards each of them granting new actions you can perform! Roll an Aim Die to check where your attacks land. According to the part that is hit, it is possible to get special bonuses on the attack but also trigger defences and counters in the defender (e.g. hitting the Water King in the Teeth...you know he likes spicy food!!) |
|
|
Tame a Wild Monster into a Familio. Your familio will share some of the resources in your player mat, but will play in a separate turn from your hero, and have its unique set of actions. Each familio is different and very thematic! |
|
|
Have absurd encounters and develop your personality to one of three different possibilities for each hero! During the game you will face choices and collects #hashtags related to different personalities. When you have three on the same card, you flip it to its "trending" side, unlocking a special unique power! You are now famous and can get close enough to the Kabula to steal it! |

There is much more to know (for example each Guardian changes completely the mood of the game you are playing!) but this should be enough to pick your interest :) If you want more info, check one of these links: |

We never stopped improving the game until few weeks ago, now we are just polishing and reviewing. Manufacturing has already been arranged and paid for (50%) and we are on schedule to deliver the games on February.
The game comes in a few different options including: Core Game, which uses standees for monsters and Guardians but has a lot of gameplay for low budget. Huge Package, a single box fitting the content of all expansions, including miniatures, wooden tokens, metal coins. A few extras (not included in the Huge Package), like the neoprene map and Chastity hero (KS early bird). Of course there are several intermediate options between the Core Game and the Huge Package, so you can really get what you want.
