Forsage Games is back on Kickstarter with their 10th game: Carom Golf

Since November 2016, Forsage Games has had 9 campaigns on Kickstarter. Last year, we opened a new profile (Forsage Light Games) where we presented the game Carom Mini Golf and the Dynamic Expansion. The campaign was a success, all the rewards were produced and delivered well ahead of schedule, and we received excellent reviews from gamers all over the world for the quality of the components and the gameplay itself. That is why we decided to create a reprint campaign, and at the same time, to offer new game variants. These are: Carom Golf (a simulation of golf), Carom Mini Golf 2D (a simpler version of the game from the previous project), and the Garbage mini-expansion.
The game Carom Mini Golf, that was in the spotlight of the previous campaign, gets rebranded as CMG 3D; this was necessary because we have now made a simpler version of the same game, CMG 2D, that does not have vertical obstacles, has simpler flat obstacles, and uses only one die in combination with 6 cards. Some other less important elements are also left out (ball pushers, the box insert is blank, etc.). Due to fewer elements, this variant is significantly cheaper, however, it still allows the Carom mode to be played out, like in the 3D version.
A completely new variant of the game is Carom Golf, which simulates real sport golf played on large meadows. At the start, we have envisioned that the Carom golf would be easy to manufacture, so its price is also very affordable.
As always, we have provided gifts for early backers (Garbage mini-expansion for free), and loyalty gifts for all our returning backers (a multipurpose spinner).
About Carom Golf
Carom Golf is a tabletop simulation of golf, played on a modular board made of up to 12 board segments.
The goal of the game is to put the ball from one end of the course into the hole on the opposite side, and the winner is the player who manages to do so with the fewest strokes. The strokes are performed by rolling a die and moving the ball accordingly over the hex grid on the board; this is not a toy nor a flicking game, so dexterity doesn't play a role.
On its path to the hole, the ball may encounter different types of obstacles (provided in the set), with which it interacts in various ways. By carefully choosing the path, however, the ball can bypass any obstacle, and even fly over it, if it gets hit hard enough.
The game is designed for up to 12 players, as there are two sets of 6 balls each provided. It can also be played solo, as finding the best and the quickest path for the ball on any imaginable course is a joy in its own right.
When playing in company, however, there is a special Carom mode where all players play one stroke at a time on the same hole, and their balls remain on the course at all times. In this mode, it is possible to hit the other player's ball with your own, change its position, and even knock it out of bounds, in order to mess with your opponent’s game. If you’re a competitive bunch, you’ll prefer this mode for sure.
Whatever you choose, you’ll be equipped for hours of fun. See you on the course!
The Kickstarter campaign has two Early Bird reward tiers with a special discount in the first 72 hours of the campaign (ending on May 5, 6 PM CET).
A year has passed... CMG 2D is here! + Our first game made for PC and Switch!!!

Carom Mini Golf 2D
Hi, everyone!
It’s been a little more than a year since our Carom Mini Golf campaign. Thank you once again for helping us get this game to the big stage!
After shipping all the rewards several months ahead of schedule, we are very pleased to see the game has received many praises and good ratings for the gameplay itself, and the quality of the components as well.
Now, it's time to start another campaign, since we believe that this game can reach an even wider audience. The CMG base game and the Dynamic Expansion will be offered as reprints (under a ‘3D’ label, to designate the existence of vertical obstacles), but in the spotlight will be a new variant, ‘2D’, with only flat obstacles present. This variant keeps the Carom mode (multiple players playing at the same time and interfering), and we think it will be very interesting to the public due to the lower price, compared to the ‘3D’ variant.
We will announce the exact start of the CMG 2D campaign in one of the following updates.
In other news, one of our most well-known games, Tank Chess, will soon get its digital version. The Kickstarter campaign will start in May, and you can follow it here:
The video game is developed by the company Brave Giant from Novi Sad, Serbia (https://bravegiant.com/). They already have many popular video games (such as Demon Hunter, Queen's Quest and Family Mysteries) and recently, they suggested making a PC and Nintendo Switch version of Tank Chess. We made a deal, so they are already working on the project, and we are very pleased with the progress made so far. Soon it will be possible to see a demo version of the game on Steam. For now, we only show a few images:
The visual design is based on the board game, so the experience is almost exactly the same as playing with real pieces on a board. The video game will have its own different modes and additions, which will be presented accordingly.
The campaign will have two Early Bird reward tiers with a special discount in the first 72 hours of the campaign.
We hope that the campaign will be successful and that the company Brave Giant will collect enough funds to finish a fully functional digital game. The work on the development of the game will continue in the coming years after the campaign, so that all the game elements will be added gradually, such as various obstacle types and pieces from the Fun Set, Fun Set Plus, Airborne expansions, etc.
We believe that the computer version will facilitate finding an opponent, especially one of a similar skill level, which could have been an issue for some of the gamers around the world who have the board game. Online play should contribute to the overall popularization of this game in the world, and thus help create a wide pool of players, which will later make possible playing official tournaments and competing on various levels.
New project: Flying Saucers
about 1 year ago
– Tue, Feb 20, 2024 at 09:51:00 AM
We want to inform you that the campaign for our board game FLYING SAUCERS is live on Kickstarter.
This time, the campaign was prepared and will be led by our friends and associates from the German publishing company Spieltrieb, and they will also handle the entire production and subsequent distribution of the rewards.
Flying Saucers is probably our best game, and certainly the most original one. The first version of the game was created and released back in 2007. Since then, the game has been improved several times, and all game mechanics in the Kickstarter edition are identical to the ones our author team submitted to the German publisher for testing. The last version of the rules was written just before the Essen Fair 2019, when our team had a guest appearance at the Spieltrieb stand.
We like to make games with short, clear and simple rules. The best example is the diceless game Tank Chess (4-page rulebook) in which several types of tanks (each one with only three characteristics: speed, firepower and armor) fight each other. The first edition of the game Flying Saucers had only four types of pieces and even simpler mechanics – only two piece characteristics are important: strength (which combines both firepower and armor) and speed. This is kept the same in the first level of the final version. Originally, it is also played without a die, which was added later as optional, to introduce luck into the game.
We also like to make games about aerial warfare, and our games Age of Dogfights: WWI, and Age of Dogfights: WWII are perfect examples. In the game Flying Saucers, starting from the second level, Bombers, Attackers, Carriers and many more piece types join Fighters, Intruders and Strikers, which make this game perfect for gamers who enjoy very dynamic "aerial" battles.
Various types of flying saucers are fighting somewhere in distant space to collect resources, process them in facilities, and use them to assemble a structure that will ensure their survival (and victory in the game). The following images show some examples from the rulebook.
In addition to the basic tasks that exist in each of the 4 levels, there are a variety of interesting scenarios that provide endless opportunities for creative fun and competition. Some of the scenarios are: Neutralizing Base Station; Breakthrough of Bombers; Return of Voyager; Collecting crystals; Rescue of Nuclear Foundry; Convoy, etc. The following images show diagrams of some scenarios.
Therefore, we, the authors, see this game as layered and complex, that offers players of different interests and preferences something to love. We consider it one of our favorite games, and we firmly believe that its quality will be recognized within the Kickstarter community.
Since the campaign itself, production and fulfillment will be led by Spieltrieb, the loyalty gift for the returning Forsage Games backers has to be handled in a different way. We will manually make a list of all of you who decide to back this project to be able, at some point, to find a way to reward you for your commitment to our original board games.
