Exclusive: Columbia’s Next Kickstarter is Another Victory for Fans

Fresh on the heels of their successful Kickstarter campaign for the second edition of Pacific Victory, Columbia Games is set to announce next week another big victory for their fans. Victory: The Blocks of War, a classic Columbia title which (in many ways) set the stage for both Pacific Victory and Wizard Kings (in its design and concept), is about to get even better.

While the base game for Victory is not changing, I’m hearing that it will be offered at a reduced price as part of the Kickstarter campaign. Even more exciting, however, is the news that this WW2 era strategic game will be seeing the re-release of the Elite Blocksets, with their array of torpedo bombers, engineers, supply units, and more. Additional forces will be a part of this Kickstarter as yellow and brown blocks are set to be added to the Victory line up as well.

For those not familiar with the game, Victory is a simple to learn and simple to teach World War 2 era game of coordinated combat featuring land, air and sea units played on geomorphic maps, 4 of which are included in the base game. Like Columbia’s Wizard Kings, Victory: The Blocks of War is a system as much as it is a game. It also serves as a great introduction to war gaming due to its fast pace and brief rules set.

More to come about this once the campaign launches...  

Look at all those blocks from the base set!
