Shu’s Tactics is a roll-and-write tactics game inspired by tower defense games that’s kickstarting now. The game seems to deliver compelling mechanics and moderate complexity, and the design of play material pops off the page. For $6 USD backers receive the entire game, rolling out in chapters. There are already some great videos available of playthroughs and rules explanations, and those won me over.
Shu’s Tactics is a meaty campaign roll-and-write game in which the player builds military tactics to reclaim cities and lands from the Yellow Turban rebellious army. During the game, you will train your army, craft items, draw up schemes, and recruit legendary heroes to extinguish the rebellion. The player will play through a set of chapters to complete the story of the Shu Han nation.
