Hi friends! We’re excited to announce the launch of our very first Kickstarter project for Galactic Scoundrels! We’re blown away the support we’ve gotten so far. In our first 24 hours, we managed to get to 42% of our $17,000 goal! HUGE thanks to everyone who’s backed us so far. We couldn’t make this game without you.
Cruise on over to the Galactic Scoundrels Kickstarter page and join the campaign. As a new start-up company, your support of our inaugural game release means Little Rock Games will be able to continue to develop and produce great games for years to come. We’re glad to have you with us on this part of our journey, and we’re grateful for your interest and support.
THANK YOU!
Galactic Scoundrels is a game made by and for people who love science fiction stories from the morally questionable end of the galaxy. From Firefly to Cowboy Bebop to Star Wars to Rick and Morty, the game has a trope for just about every scoundrel story out there, but it tilts toward the space-western genre more than most.
You have one goal in the game: to become the richest swindler in the galaxy, while telling some beautiful stories along the way. You’ll attempt this by agreeing to some not-very-nice jobs. Whether it’s an assassination, a kidnapping, or just an old-fashioned smuggling run, everyone playing tells the tale of each job one event at a time. Every action taken, every roll of the dice, every card played advances the story, complicating the adventure of the scoundrel who’s trying to make it to payday. Adventures can be serious or silly, tame or wild, absurd or plausible, whatever the players in your game decide. Along the way, the game will have you gambling, bluffing, negotiating, and occasionally tricking other players for a bit of extra profit.
It’s a wild, woolly mess of a galaxy out there, and it’s filled with stories. See if you have what it takes to survive them in Galactic Scoundrels.
Number of players: 3-5
Time required: 60-120 min
Recommended ages: 13+
Suggested MSRP: $29.99 USD

Welcome back for the April 2018 episode of our Game-of-the-Month Club! This month we played the 2017 release Nier:Automata from developer PlatinumGames and publisher Square Enix. We had so much to say about Nier:Automata that we’re even considering doing a second podcast later in the year just to cover it all! It’s an amazing feat of storytelling, action, adventure, and so much more. Join us as we discuss what we thought of the game in our GotM podcast.
As always, THERE ARE TONS OF SPOILERS IN THIS PODCAST! If you haven’t played it yet, we recommend you stop everything, reexamine your priorities, and spend 80+ hours playing this fantastic game. Then come back, listen to the podcast, and leave your comments below!
