Stratus Games Announces DiceAFARI™ Kickstarter Campaign

Nov. 15, 2011 - PRLog -- Stratus Games is excited to announce the debut of their latest board game, DiceAFARI™, on Kickstarter.

DiceAFARI™ (dice + safari) takes players on a photo safari adventure that not only has an endearing theme, but is also strategic, interactive, and lots of fun for families and gamers alike. It plays in approximately 15 minutes and offers a unique combination of dice-rolling, two types of area control, and set collection for 2 to 4 players, ages 8 and up.

In DiceAFARI™, players create unique, animal-shaped maps using tiles that represent various African terrains. On each turn, the current player rolls custom dice to select a route to visit during the safari, then takes a photo of one of the exotic animals found in the area. After the whole map has been visited, points are scored for the best sets of photographs taken and the areas most recently visited.

Stratus Games is turning to Kickstarter for assistance with initial production costs, which include professional artwork, high-quality manufacturing, safety testing, and shipping, among others. Project backers will receive many benefits, including discounted prices, early delivery of the final product, exclusive components, and component upgrades if stretch goals are reached. By including customers early on in the process, the game will be tailor-made to fit customers’ needs and production of the game will happen sooner than otherwise anticipated.

The campaign will be live until December 19, 2011. If a total pledge value of at least $5,000 is reached by this date, the project will be funded. Stretch goals of up to $75,000 are also included, which unlock various upgrades to the game, if reached.

A free print-and-play prototype of the game is also available for evaluation.
