Badass Force -a Kickass Kickstarter

In an alternative near future, Badass Force is the name of the most popular live show of the ultra-net. Like The Ninja Warriors before it and Big Brother before that, contestants go into a battle arena, not as themselves, but as someone else. Before the show became a household name, historical leaders were pitted against one another. All due to the holographic projects suits the contestants ware. Yes, holographic technology is here and over the course of many years, many players have gone head to head, taken on the looks and skill of Napoleon, Julius Caesar, Vlad The Impaler and even Cleopatra. But after a large fire, all historical documents were lost and data destroyed. And the show runners had to find something else to reference. Now, our culture is now limited to the action movies of the end of 20th century / early 21st century and many of those recordings have deteriorated. And it is these distorted figured that are now used in the arena. As well as "Guns, Attitude and Bluffing." This week you have finally been selected and it is your turn to fulfill your destiny and prove you are the most Badass in Badass Force! This is the premise for the ultimate bluffing (or not) party game that will have you quoting and laughing at the table. Being brought to Kickstarter by a new company Funky Sheep. The game has been in development for a number of years by it's designer Ghislain Masson, who's first big hit was Not Alone. It even was going to be published at the same time as Not Alone but was put on the side by one game publisher and picked up by Funky Sheep.       The game is a combat/deduction/bluffing game, where players will be disguised as a character from an action film from the 80's, 90's and 2000's. Loading up weapons and using them to dastardly effect, by eliminating the other character chosen by the other players. Eliminating characters will give you point and diminish the hand of characters that your opponents have. But with all this elimination, there is no player elimination, as you can redraw your hand of cards and continue playing. This time, in Revenge Mode. This makes the characters powers more powerful. And it is these powers that are the heart of the game. As well as being thematic in the game, they also make the game very strategic. Making every decision a difficult but fun one, as telling the truth, bluffing or even calling someones bluff will lead to an action packed time at the table. The Kickstarter is running from the 20th of November to the 13th of December and will probably feature more characters in the form of stretch goals.
