Parry - A Medieval Duel of Wits Live on Kickstarter

  • September 22, 2026 3:18 PM

Two kingdoms, both questionable in dignity, in a grand tourney where we lay our scene!

Parry - A Medieval Duel of Wits is a 2 player card dueler where players pick up the mantles of the Light Knight and Night Knight, and attempt to toss each other from the arena!

Each round, one player begins as the Advancing knight, programming a series of cards and using Tactics to push the other knight out of the arena.

The Countering knight attempts to match any part of the pattern played by the Advancing knight, using Maneuvers and their own wit to attempt to land a Parry.
If they do, roles and abilities swap, and now they're the one pushing their opponent around.

Victory, and its associated points go to the knight who knocked the other from the arena, or gained the most ground during the duel!

The project runs until October 9th. Check it out at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/giantleapgames/parry!

Mountain Goats: Legacy Now Crowdfunding

  • January 20, 2026 10:41 PM

Mountain Goats: Legacy, designed by group members Alex Cutler and Mike Mihealsick, is now live on Kickstarter!

Each turn, roll and combine dice to race up the mountain. Get to the top to score, but don’t get knocked off! If you roll the goat symbol, activate new abilities — powers that rotate every mission. As your story progresses, you’ll unlock even more powerful abilities and face tougher challenges. The mountain itself might even transform beneath your feet.
 
 Mountain Goats: Legacy combines dice rolling/combining and events into a longer version of Mountain Goats. But, after the first session, more and more hazards and gameplay tweaks show up. The dice now have a goat symbol — when rolled, you’ll get to use one of the unlocked player powers. These can change with every session! There’s also a new system called “Courage” that greatly affects your ability to mitigate luck and refine your dice rolls.

This game can be played as either a single session or a legacy game. As a legacy game, it is fully replayable and resettable. You will not be asked to destroy or modify components. The first session can also be combined with the original Mountain Goats game.
