Remember Collectible Card Games? Well we do. This is an evolution of the same idea.
BattleTokens.info is a selection of professional quality, 10g poker chips. Each of which adorned with fantastic arwork from the Horror, Scifi, and Fantasy genres.
The tokens will be sold in 'Blind Bags' like the booster sets to many Collectible Card Games, you will not know the poker chips denomination and character atrwork until it has been opened.
We plan to have single chips with exclusive designs, and standard box sets that would include a game board, rules and dice.
The first series will be HORROR themed. So is the prototype set. But we have plans for scifi / fantasy / steampunk etc series.
Where it gets really interesting is our aspirations to licenced characters and artwork on the poker chips.
Each poker chip/tokens are marked with denominations, like regular poker chips, so can be used just for playing regular poker or other card games. They also have other markings that are used in the BattleTokens game system.
The game is played with 2 players, 2 sets of chips and a set of six sided dice (D6).
The first set, which we have already produced as our PROTOTYPE set, is ready to be snapped up. Based on the HORROR genre we see this first set being highly collectible in the future.
What We Need & What You Get
We have already funded a pre production run of professional/casino grade poker chips with original artwork from Dan Butcher of Vanguard Comic.
We are looking for just £500.
The money will be used as follows:
This will help us fund a very limited first edition production run - with a selection of different designs.
The first edition run of chips will be used to create full 'starter sets' of 20 chips/tokens, and individual 'blind bags' which will have a single random chip.
A number of the full sets will be used for promotion of the games to distributors and retailers with the remainder put on sale through BattleTokens.info
We have a number of Stretch Goals, We would love to raise around £5000 to cover all of these, but we will add these as and when we reach our initial target.
We are using the
Once we reach half of our target, things start to get interesting as we will start offering pre order perks for the first production sets.
Perks.
We have a set of just 300 chips/tokens from the first never to be repeated prototype run. A small number of these will be used for promotion (competitions) some will be sent to contributors and the remainder will only be available through this indiegogo campaign.
The perks here will be the only chance to buy these tokens.
These tokens are already with us! So should we not reach the total we will still fufill these orders!
Quick Note: Perks include shipping costs to UK, USA and Canada. Please use the comment section to ask about other areas!
