Valley of the Kings

Neue Kickstarter-Kampagne von AEG – Valley of the Kings 

AEG is excited to share that the recently announced Valley of the Kings Premium is coming to Kickstarter for a limited two-week campaign ahead of the retail launch. This campaign will kick off April 2, and run until April 16.

Valley of the Kings was one of the early games to really innovate on the deck-building concept, featuring the “Entomb” mechanic that made players determine when to give up cards they’ve collected in order to earn points at the end of the game. Valley of the Kings was also incredibly portable, featuring a small box and number of cards.

Now we are collecting all three of the Valley of the Kings releases in a single premium box, and upgrading the graphics as well. We’ve even included all-new Pharaoh cards to put you in character while you play, with cool unique abilities! And we’re including 350 tarot-sized AEG Premium Sleeves to protect your cards for the ages!

You can find rulebooks, graphics, and assets for Valley of the Kings Premium here:  https://www.dropbox.com/sh/h5plodsw4rvv8vi/AADfADR-cr06upUcMXb7PMwoa?dl=0

Who says life is short? Life is as big as you want it to be! Every day we get to dream of the stuff we would like to do, places we would like to visit, things we would like to experience. From the crazy carnival of Rio, to a romantic dinner under the Eiffel tower, to a tour on Liberty Island in New York. All you need to do is dream, desire and if you are determined, those experiences will eventually become a reality.

Are you ready to begin your journey? Are you ready to fill your life with the best experiences that you can?

Pack your bags and let’s go!

About the Game

The Pursuit of Happiness: Experiences expansion introduces the concept of dreams. This new mechanism allows players to store cards of any type on their dream board, in order to make them a reality later in the game. The expansion also includes a new board to place the new Experience cards and features new actions. Within the Experiences deck, players will find a wide variety of trips and events around the world. Players also get to have kids, meet new partners, and order services bringing their games to the next level.

The expansion is a joint venture of the head designers of the game David Chircopand Adrian Abela together with Artipia Games’ Konstantinos Kokkinis (Drum Roll, Project: ELITE, A Thief’s Fortune). The designers wanted to introduce an expansion that provides even more options and card categories, meaning that you can now do so much more now resembling a real-life simulator board game even more!

Now you can dream about all the things that you want to accomplish in order to achieve more happiness (and points) out of actually fulfilling your dreams! Enjoy travelling and experience the most memorable monuments and festivals all over the world, raise kids, buy services, more life goals, more child traits, more projects, jobs, activities, items, partners and an exciting surprise that will be revealed some time after the campaign launch!

Stellungnahme AMIGO – Bohnanza-Plagiat auf Kickstarter

STELLUNGNAHME
AMIGO Spiel + Freizeit GmbH
Bohnanza-Plagiat auf Kickstarter
_______________________________________________________________________
Dietzenbach, 05. November 2018.

Seit einigen Tagen ist auf der Crowdfunding-Plattform Kickstarter eine Kampagne für das Kartenspiel Crypto Cartel zu finden. Auch wenn der Autor und Kampagnen-Verantwortliche mittlerweile eingeräumt hat, dass er sich von Bohnanza hat „inspirieren“ lassen, zeigt das dort beschriebene Spiel nicht nur eine Verwandtschaft oder Inspiration, sondern 1:1 den Spielmechanismus von Bohnanza.
Wann kann man bei einem Spiel von einer reinen Inspiration und wann von einem Plagiat sprechen? Einen bestehenden Mechanismus aufgreifen, neu interpretieren, abwandeln und weiterentwickeln, das findet man in der Spielebranche immer wieder. Und sofern sich ausreichende Unterschiede zwischen Original und Adaption finden lassen, ist dies kein Grund für einen Autor oder Verlag aktiv zu werden. Wenn jedoch wie im Fall von Crypto Cartel der komplette Spielablauf, inklusive Regeln für Handkarten, Kartenablage und Punkteberechnung (um nur einige zu nennen) ohne signifikante Änderungen übernommen werden, müssen wir als Verlag, der Bohnanza 1997 herausgebracht hat und seitdem vertreibt, unsere Stimme erheben:
Für das Gedankengut von Autoren wie Uwe Rosenberg, der wie viele andere seiner Zunft seit über 20 Jahren Spiele entwickelt.
Für alle kreativen Köpfe, die davon und dafür leben, mit außergewöhnlichen Ideen neue Spielewelten zu erschaffen und die auch bereits existierende Spielmechanismen in ein komplett neues Spiel verwandeln können.
All das ist bei Crypto Cartel nicht zu finden. Es ist keine Abwandlung, kein Neuerschaffen, sondern die komplette Übernahme eines bereits etablierten und erfolgreichen Spiels, das lediglich durch Aktionskarten erweitert wurde. Das ist für uns keine Inspiration, sondern ein Plagiat.
Daher appelliert AMIGO an alle Kampagnen-Unterstützer und Spielefans da draußen, sich einmal selbst zu fragen, ob sie solche dreisten Aneignungen von Ideen anderer wirklich unterstützen oder auch nur dulden wollen. Wir sind der Meinung, dass am Ende Spieleautoren wie Uwe Rosenberg, die jahrelang an ihren Spielen arbeiten und von ihren Ideen leben, den Schaden davon tragen.
Abgesehen davon finden wir es einem Autor und seinem Werk gegenüber im höchsten Grade respektlos, sich ohne vorherige Kontaktaufnahme und Einverständnis, sogar ohne einen öffentlichen Hinweis auf den Ursprungsautor, seiner Ideen zu bedienen.
