Oddball Aeronauts 2 give away. Create a custom Captain!

Back on November 4th I announced that Oddball Aeronauts 2 was about to launch on kickstarter. Well, now it's live! Even cooler than this though is that maverick:muse has agreed to work with The Windsor Gaming Resource again to offer a really cool give away. A give away that's even better than the one we hosted last time.

For those who don't know or remember Oddball Aeronauts, it's a two player card game that doesn't require a surface to play on. That's right: no table needed. Oddball Aeronauts 2 adds new factions to the game and also adds multi-player rules.

It's a really unique and cool rock, paper, scissors based game with quite a bit added to make it more strategic and interesting. My favourite part though is the artwork and theme of the game. I guess anthropomorphic steampunk does it for me :) To learn more about the game, check out the (p)review that was posted back on January 22nd.

What you can win:

Last time we gave away the chance to design the Bounty Hunter card. This time we are going a step farther and letting the winner name a ship and design their own captain. The winner will also get a copy of all core 26 cards. Here's the details from +Nigel Pyne:

The winner picks the faction of their choice - Pirates, Pendragon, Mechinauts or Free Kingdoms. They then pick a name for their airship and will then receive all core 26 faction cards for their choice with their chosen ship name on the back of every one. Plus, they get to work with Lloyd to design a character that will then appear on a Mercenary Captain Card of their very own - their unique Captain that they also name and they can use that Mercenary Captain in place of a regular Captain in any faction deck. Or they can have their custom Captain unique to a faction - their choice.

How cool is that?

Oddball Aerounauts Giveaway

It lives! The Kickstarter for Oddball Aeronauts: Pirates vs the Pendragon is live. 

I was lucky enough to get to try out a preview demo copy of this rather brilliant game over the holidays. Besides really sweet looking artwork this game has a pretty cool twist: it's a card game you don't need a surface to play on. You play the game 'in hand' never needing to put a card down anywhere.

Check out the full review I posted back on January 22nd to see how maverick:muse managed to pull this off.

Even cooler, when I made the deal to get to try out the game I also talked Nigel Pyne, the game's designer,  into letting me host a giveaway right here on the Windsor Gaming Resource Blog. This is our first official giveaway and it's something I'm really excited about. Be sure to spread the word to your fellow gamers.

What you can win:

Dueling in the clouds is dangerous work. Besides having to worry about what your opponent is doing you also have to worry about potentially game changing events. Like a giant sky Kraken attack or a minefield. One of the events that will be included in the kickstarted version of the game is the "Bounty Hunter".

You can help design the Bounty Hunter. The winner of this giveaway will work with Lloyd Ash Pyne, the game's artist, to develop the card art, choose a name for the character that will appear on the card, receive the original artwork and be credited in the rule book as a co-designer of that card.

How cool is that?

How do you enter?

To enter the contest use the Rafflecopter form below. There is only one mandatory entry requirement:  subscribe to the maverick:muse newsletter. Additional entries can be gained by liking on facebook, following on twitter, sending out tweets about this contest, etc.
