GUESS WHAT?
Room Party the Game Pre-Orders are LIVE!
Click Here to go to the store!
While the game will be for general sale online starting Feb 22, if you pre-order, you'll be one of the first people to get your deck (after the KickStarter backers, of course.)
But wait! There's more!
The first 50 people to preorder both the Core Deck and the FurCon expansion will receive one copy of the limited edition bonus pack!
This will be the ONLY time the limited-edition packs will be available for sale online!
The first 50 have been sold! You can still preorder, though!
More info:
-Core Deck has 160 cards (See some here!)
-FurCon Expansion has 55 cards (see those, too!)
-Exclusive Limited-Edition KickStarter Cards:
The Hipster Pack, Guest Artist Pack, and Custom Cards
(in gold foil, yo. -- see 'em!)
...Or go straight to the store to preorder!
(PS, one of the project managers, Ottsel, will be answering questions if I don't get to them first!)

International shipping is insanely expensive, even for relatively small light packages like ours. We're trying to get to cons globally, and are working with retailers in Europe and Australia to hopefully be able to get the games to you cheaper, but we don't have that set up yet, sorry! :(
I am not planning to attend although friend of mine might attend. But then I will have to ask to make reservation for one piece in advance. If you would be able to confirm that later (by pm here in FA) that would be great. The fact is that we are also running boardgame society in the area cooperating with both players and designers - any new game we can try, which is not and is good may be a subject for more interesting discussion with boardgame producers here.
Oh yeah-- entirely different game! It's a little like Munchkin had a love-child with Cards Against Humanity, and then that kid went to a convention. ;]
We plan on getting a game play video up some time in the next few months, but it's easy enough to play and enjoy while drunk at a party.

Nordguard was similar to coop games like Forbidden Desert (or Pandemic or Forbidden Island, which are made by basically the same people) in that it was a puzzle to be jointed solved, but unlike those games you knew most of the information at the beginning- you mapped out a course, got the items you would need to take that course, and hopefully didn't get screwed over by the events. That meant there was just the planning phase and the resolution phase, unlike the other games mentioned where each turn provides new valuable information which may require a drastic change in plan.
The Resistance is my favorite of the deception games (and you ought to try The Resistance: Avalon if you haven't; if I recall correctly it only changes two things, but they're both for the better), where some people are given private information that they need to keep secret while still taking actions to win the game. I prefer it to Mafia, Werewolf, Battlestar Galactica, Shadows over Camelot, and so on because the underlying game is so simple: there are only a handful of actions to take, and the rest is talking, and there's no elimination or explicit reveal of who's who until it's all over.
Room Party is in another class: I'd probably put it as something like 'casual laughs,' with games like Story Wars and Cards Against Humanity. The rules are simple enough that you could probably convince anyone to play (and they'd still have a solid shot at getting the highest score if drunk), but the appeal mostly comes from the stories you generate while playing, not getting the most awesome party. "Now that there's a Collector in your room, it's quickly discovered that the Bottom of the Geek Hierarchy's Double D's are Off-Brand, and this leads to some Awkward Conversation Topics. So when an Actually Famous Guy shows up, he decides to come to my party instead of that mess you're running." If the people you're playing with don't go to conventions, the humor may not hit as close to home, but I imagine it'd still be enjoyable.
