The Unstoppable board game Kickstarter
According to the campaign page, the Unstoppable board game is the latest in Renegade’s Solo Game series. The game is set in a sci-fi world and revolves around three planets. The cutthroat city-world of Ceres II, Virenos’ deadly forests, and trash-riddled wasteland that is Mithras.
The game can be played either solo or co-op with another player. You play as someone touched by fate. tasked with stopping something that threatens all three worlds. To pull that off, you will need to gather allies, train, upgrade your tools, and become unstoppable.
A game of Unstoppable is simple. You pick one of four heroes and a boss to fight. You take turns drafting and upgrading cards. You’ll use these cards to face threats, level up, and gain momentum. But the longer you take, the more dangerous the boss becomes. The game ends when you win or fail.
Upgrading cards in the Unstoppable board game is thanks to the game’s card-crafting system. Like Solforge Fusion, you can stack different upgrade cards on different core cards, effectively making a unique kind of card as you play. There are 100 core cards and 36 upgrade cards in the base game, that is 3,600 possible combinations.
The game was designed by John D. Clair. Clair’s tabletop design credits include Mystic Vale, the award-winning 4X card-crafting pirate game Dead Reckoning and the collaborative flora and fauna board game Ecos: First Continent.
In addition, it continues Renegade Game Studio’s reputation of producing experimental and ambitious board games. Their catalog include The Search For Lost Species, The Vale of Eternity, and the silent role-playing game Alice Is Missing.
