Inventions: Evolution of Ideas<\/a>, the latest heavy eurogame from On Mars<\/a> and Kanban EV<\/a> creator Vital Lacerda<\/a>, has soared past $550,000 for its Kickstarter campaign after just four days of fundraising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game is the most recent in a long line of plush, complex worker placement games from Lacerda and artist Ian O’Toole<\/a>, who have become major names in the board game industry since the breakout success of their debut game together, 2015’s The Gallerist<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inventions is now about halfway to reaching the roughly $1.1m raised for Lacerda and O’Toole’s previous release, Weather Machine, which was kickstarted at the very end of 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost 5,000 backers have pledged for Kickstarter copies of Inventions so far<\/a>, with 20 days of the campaign left to go. Weather Machine picked up commitments from just over 9,100 backers for its campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publisher Eagle-Gryphon Games<\/a>, which has been working with Lacerda and O’Toole since The Gallerist, has stuck with the $129 price point of Weather Machine for the new game’s Kickstarter edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is up from the $99 base pledge for Kanban EV in 2020 and $89 for On Mars from a year earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lacerda is also currently working on House of Fado, which is centred around restaurants playing traditional Portuguese music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That game will be his second faster-paced offering designed alongside Jo\u00e3o Quintela Martins, following this year’s release of Bot Factory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
