Please help me launch “The Peides Curse: Earth” board game

The campaign is to raise funds for me to launch this board game that I have design in 2012. The game has hit little success in our 2013 & 2014 trips to Germany Spieltage, one of the larges board game exhibition in the world.

Since then, we are busy looking for funds to make this game a popular game among other board games, namely Monopoly, Ticket to Ride or Settlers of Catan.

We have identified our market. We are planning to sell our game to Europe, USA and with the buzz picking up from other parts of Asia, we are looking at getting people to support this game to launch into market.

We have tried selling on some e-commerce website and has received a few enquiries. However, being a new game in town, the interested players do find it a little hard to catch on the game.

Thus, what we plan to market the game to Europe is to do a series of video tutorials as well as find partners in the targeted country to teach people to play the game. For this to happen, we need some funds to put the game into a better position for traction.

This campaign is to get support from interesting people who is keen to see the game in the market.

We will reward supporters with a set of the game for donation amount USD100 and above. This is a way to promote the game and to show our thanks.

Funds raised will be utilised to penetrate new potential market as listed below.

1) North America Region

2) Western Europe Region including United Kingdom

3) Australia & New Zealand

4) Asian – UAE, China, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea Republic, Vietnam.

Current marketing methods are:

1) Social Media Ads

2) E- Commerce marketplaces

3) Board game café

The money raised from distributorship will be used to support:

1) E-Commerce Ads and Social Media Ads Campaign - 20%

2) Getting the game to shelf and mobilising games to board game cafe - 60%

3) Game play sessions - 20%

Get to know ‘The Peides Curse: Earth’

The Peides Curse: Earth is a strategic board game for 2 – 4 players. Battle for the survival of Earth and mankind in hostile landscapes where danger lurks at every corner. Put on the superhero’s persona and harvest its power to stop Evil from spreading its malevolent supremacy over Earth. Break the curse now!

The Peides Curse: Earth is a strategy and tactical game that is set in the futuristic world in the year 2223. Earth is facing its most challenging time ever where the threat of total annihilation and catastrophe is almost certain upon all creations of the Originator of Creation.

The players take on the role of the heroes who are embarking on the most audacious and dangerous rescue mission. They face the uncertainty of time travel that bring them to the future year of 2223 where they will join the Spirit and fight a tough battle to stop the power of Evil. In order to accomplish the objective of their mission, the players shall participate in the race of their lifetime to find 9 secret codes that would stop Evil from wielding its power and destroy Earth.

Each player is required to put into motion his or her most strategic plan and creative cunningness to plot successfully and beat the other players to be the first to find all the secret codes. The game uses two different decks of power card play / power travel to help navigate the players to their designated mission destination. In this phase, players must cleverly maneuver their moves to put into motion their plans and strategy. The game play takes on an infusion of race and prior planning. High level of strategy deployment or plotting combined with tactical maneuvers is required.

In the quest to find the secret codes, the players are required to follow the clues which would lead them to where they are hidden. They then need to decipher the code with the decoder dices. Successful attempts shall be rewarded with energy points and battle flags. They are both critical game changer components that will propel the players to ahead in the game.

Meet the Heroes of The Peides Curse: Earth

The last phase of the race shall see them being pitted in the battle between the Spirit and Evil. Here, the players will be able to deploy actions or movements that will keep them safe. The battle card may also be a game killer if it is played correctly. The players need to be extra cautious at this stage because they may well fall prey to 3 ‘surprise’ cards in the stack. This can cause them to deplete their Vourton power and lose a turn when they meet face to face with Evil. However, all is not lost. There are saviour cards that will restore the players’ power immediately and without losing a turn.

The Peides Curse: Earth is ultimately a game of deceit and of tricking the players’ opponents with good tactics and strategies. Some players may find that this is a game that is quite ruthless and requires the utmost shrewdness on their part. Decisive construction of strategy or action will give the players an edge and a winning advantage in both the attack and defend positions in the game with well-planned movements. And its climax, the game may even take on a strong element of being destructive to the other players, causing perhaps extreme harm or damage to their gameplay.
