-KICKSTARTER: DREADBALL

Mantic Games ha publicado el Kickstarter de DreadBall, desde Forja y Desván seguiremos desde cerca este Kickstarter, por ahora os dejo la presentación integra del mismo.






“Look at him go! He dodges past one, slides round another and he’s in the zone! Strike! 3 points! And that, Jim, is Partenza’s victory dance.”

“No time for that, Jake. The ball’s out again! 200 miles an hour and it’s just a silver streak! It’s Riggit now, for the Manglers."

“Dying seconds, Jim. He needs 4-points to win.”

“It’s going to be close!”

DreadBall – The Futuristic Sports Game is the hyperkinetic sci-fi sports game of unparalleled speed and ferocity - a fast, fun and tactical miniature sports board game written by Jake Thornton and created by Mantic Games.

Two coaches compete for victory with teams of beautiful miniatures on a stunning sci-fi pitch. The game is easy to learn, yet challenging, with carefully orchestrated plays and counter attacks hinging on positioning and the mercy of the dice gods.

Created by the finest sculptors, artists and game designers, DreadBall – The Futuristic Sports Game is the first in a series of visually stunning sci-fi sports games, to be supported with expansions introducing new teams and exciting new gameplay, building on the already impressive 84-page full-colour A4 rulebook.

DreadBall - The Futuristic Sports Game contains:

- A4 84 page full colour DreadBall – The Futuristic Sports Game rulebook

- Rules for 8 MVPs, team advancement and league system

- 1 Corporation Team: 8 plastic miniatures (3 Strikers, 3 Jacks, 2 Guards)

- 1 Marauder Team: 8 plastic miniatures (5 Jacks, 3 Guards)

- A stunningly detailed pitch

- 54 Cards: 35 Action, 14 Event, 3 Special, 2 Fan

- 13 Counters: 10 Action, 1 Rush, 1 Score, and 1 Special

- Roster Pad

- 6 Home Dice, 6 Away Dice, 6 Coaching Dice

Figures are supplied unpainted and are easy to assemble, meaning you can get gaming in less than 10 minutes! Made in plastic.

We're starting the Kickstarter off with the first two teams available, as well as 2 MVPs and team paint sets - but this is only the start!

If we surpass our goal then we will unlock more teams and MVPs as we go - follow our chart and let's see how far we get!

Trontek 29ers


The ever-present logo of Trontek Industries reaches into every aspect of the lives of an average citizen in the Co-Prosperity Sphere, so it's not surprising that their team is one of the most highly regarded of the major leagues.

Greenmoon Smackers


The Smackers began their career as pirates, ambushing lonely merchant vessels from their hideout on the green moon of Lanthis IV. Eventually they found some recordings of DreadBall games in the entertainment suite of the MVV Bilge Rat and with little to do for months on end, started playing games amongst themselves. As their raids began to focus on stealing DreadBall equipment, they soon came to the notice of the DreadBall Governing Body, who decided to strike a deal and bring their raw talent to the big leagues.



The game has been heavily playtested, the miniatures painstakingly sculpted and the models painted to the highest standards. So why Kickstarter?

Succesful funding will allow us to launch DreadBall big and increase the print run, meaning more coaches to play against and even more support for the game and the community. We also want to give you more players and a referee in the box, as well as produce new expansions, more teams and a range of MVPs – the major sporting personalities in the DreadBall universe.

We’ve got a great range of rewards, each designed to get you a fantastic deal. Please support us by pledging - we appreciate all of the help!
