Van Ryder Games, publishers of the Graphic Novel Adventures series, has launched a Kickstarter campaign for their first ever cooperative Graphic Novel Adventures game, The Crusoe Crew.
In The Crusoe Crew, you’ll work together with other players (or play solo) to explore islands, solve puzzles, and find rubies, pearls and statuettes that will allow you to buy items for the next session. You play as one of the (fictional) children of the famed Robinson Crusoe, each with their own book and a different talent that will make your personal experience differ from that of the other players. After deciding which of the 3 treasure types you want to prioritize as a team – rubies (easiest), pearls (average) or statuettes (difficult) – you’ll then need to be on the lookout for hidden treasures, hidden numbers, and ways to use your character’s unique talents. You have just 5 days to find the most treasure possible!
The game consists of 4 individual 96-page softcover books (1 for each of the four characters), a map/rulesheet, and a sturdy box with a magnet enclosure and a ribbon for easy removal of the books from the box. Deluxe pledges will also includes a special box containing plastic ruby, pearl and statuette game pieces.
The Kickstarter campaign for The Crusoe Crew, which has already surpassed its funding goal, concludes on December 4th.
