Upcoming Kickstarter ‘Clash d’Ardèche’
“You’re the new owner of a small campground along the river Ardèche. It all seems so easy! A small plot of land, a reception and a website is all you need to receive some income from tourists.
Satisfied you take a rest, but not for long: your guests already leave for greener pastures – they prefer your competitors campground!
The ‘Clash d’Ardèche’ has begun: buy the best sites, outsmart your competitors, bribe the mayor and create the campground of your dreams!
The above is not a dream – it is a boardgame. A boardgame that puts you in the position of a campground owner, managing a campground along the river Ardèche.
Game designer Jan Willem van Dijk: ‘The two core game mechanics are the price-quality steps and the bribe cards. The price-quality steps determine to which campground guests want to go. Influence those guests by building starbuildings on your campground and by charging them higher or lower prices. Because you don’t know the price set by your competitors, this is the time when you have to bluff your way to the desired outcome.
The bribe cards are a combination of worker placement, card drafting and set collection-mechanics. Different combinations of cigars, jewellery and wine get you powerful favors from the mayor!
In the expert version another mechanic is added: the gameboard becomes a strategic puzzle as your guests want to camp nearby your sanitary, swimming pool or restaurant. Luckily you can let them use your neighbours’ facilities!’
Solo-game
In the solo-version of Clash d’Ardèche the friendly, but slightly corrupt mayor has gone megalomaniac. His nice country house in the outskirts of the small French village is no longer any good, he now demands the island as the vicinity for his mansion!
‘Clash d’Ardèche will launch coming Monday, November 14th. Here is the link!
