A Band in all hope! Dubious Alliance 2014 press release.
Sunday, May 25th Dubious Alliance will launch their Kickstarter campaign at KublaCon in South San Francisco. To add to the gaming convention frenzy, the Dubious Alliance team will be hosting a "mini-game" event and announcing Vanity Card options for Kickstarter backers.
The name "Dubious Alliance" is appropriate for this fantasy bluffing card game. Players are a band of Orcs working together yet individually vying within the group to trick, bluff, or otherwise outwit each other to collect enough weapons, magic and the prestige to win. You need to be careful, though, because if one orc dies from traps, monsters, the Colossal Dragon or player deceit, everyone loses.
This is a fast paced card game for 3 – 7 players, and takes less than 40 minutes to play. The game requires in-party fighting over treasure and reluctant cooperation to survive damage, just like a role playing game. Popular fantasy themes, a unique trading system, 'old-school' illustrations and a one page rule sheet make this a unique, fun, easy game to pick up and play again and again.
KublaCon goers can play the current, pre-production Dubious Alliance game deck. Additionally, there will be a “mini-game” event in the main lobby on Sunday to introduce new players to the basics of trading (and cheating) like an Orc. There is even rumor A Band of Orcs, the game's featured heroes, may descend upon KublaCon. Watch out for wandering monsters!
The Kickstarter campaign will include stretch goals for new game cards to introduce new magic, monsters and more story paths. Exclusively on Kickstarter, backers can order a personalized Vanity Player card featuring your own illustration or photo. With Vanity Player Cards, expandable adventure paths and plans for secret backer development of stretch goal cards this is sure to be an exciting Kickstarter to follow.
Mark your calendar to become part of this fun game, and take advantage of 'early bird' pricing for Kickstarter backers.
