Postcard from Quicksilver: The Great Airship Race

Today I got a postcard from Split Second Games as a thank you for helping to fund their board game called Quicksilver: The Great Airship Race. I didn't cover the game here in my blog in my summer post about the then-current games of Kickstarter but I did send them a small amount of money since the concept seemed cool and it would be a pity if such a nice game didn't get made.

As the name suggests, the game is an airship/blimp race set in a steampunk-ish world. You can check out its Kickstarter page here. The players have several waypoints they must pass on their way to the finish line and during the play they adjust speed of their aircraft and customize it to their own play style, sabotage other players's blimps, resolve conflicts with the use of various action cards and generally try to stay in the air... and win of course, because Queen Victoria is watching.

If you are interested in an unusual race game and missed the opportunity to pre-order (and help fund) the game on Kickstarter, you can definitely contact the designers on their webpage or just wait until spring 2013 and get it online.

PS: They wrote "Děkujeme" - a thank you in Czech on the back of the postcard... Aww!
