En bref · fiche BoardGameGeek traduite

Collaborez avec les autres joueurs pour créer une carte du royaume, mais seul le joueur le plus précis remportera la victoire. Latitude se déroule sur une carte vierge qui se construit progressivement au fil de la partie. À chaque tour, un joueur pose une tuile de terrain (mer, plaine ou montagne) et place un marqueur indiquant la taille qu’il estime que cette région aura une fois la carte complétée. Chaque région est un ensemble contigu de terrains identiques, et il n’est pas possible de placer deux fois le même marqueur de valeur dans une même région. Cela donne lieu à une stratégie de haut niveau, où les régions se complètent, se bloquent et bien plus encore, le tout dans un jeu simple à jouer, doté de règles claires et efficaces, ainsi que de superbes illustrations originales non générées par l’IA. —description fournie par l’éditeur

Présentation de la campagne

In Latitude, the world's greatest cartographers have been summoned to create a map of their world, but only those who can most accurately predict the size of each region will earn points. Out-think your rivals with clever placements, and prove yourself the most skilled cartographer of all!

Latitude, designed by Andy Juell, features simple, elegant rules that create a highly tactical and interactive experience. Simple for everyone to learn, but full of strategic depth for everyone to enjoy. It plays in 30 minutes, for 1-5 players, and features stunning original artwork by Rusembell.

A fully tested rulebook can be found at this link: Rules for Latitude

We are fortunate to have a full 2-player playthrough provided by Slickerdrips which you can watch here:

Latitude is a tile laying game, where players place tiles and number tokens to build regions, but only score points if the size of the region matches their number token. Latitude is extremely easy to start playing, but hidden within is tons of depth and strategy. The basic rules and turn structure are outlined below:

We also have a fantastic online tutorial where you can learn the game quickly and easily:

In addition, we are offering a free Kickstarter micro-expansion for all backers. See the reward section for more information.

All components are FSC certified, with as little plastic as possible. For more information, please see our sustainability promise below.

This is a slimline Kickstarter

No stretch goals, no bundles. Just the game, as intended, ready for your support. All backers will get the game and the micro-expansion.
We've decided against massive all-in bundles in order to avoid bloat and focus on getting you the game as smoothly as possible. So if you choose to back us here's what you will get...

For just £23 you can back to receive one copy of Latitude, a significant discount from the MSRP of £30.

All backers will receive our 'Neutral Promo Tiles' Micro-Expansion for FREE

These Promo Tiles are placed out during setup and act as neutral Number '5' Tokens during the game. They prevent players from playing their own 5 on the same region, whilst still enabling larger regions from the start of the game. These Tiles are a small addition which really add another twist for experienced players to enjoy.

As well as his earlier video, we are thrilled to have Slickerdrips do a run through of the solo mode in this video:

We also have had a fantastic range of previews and reviews for Latitude, playing the game exactly as it will be delivered to you!

Below you'll find an approximate timeline for the game. Whilst the files are all ready to go from our end, it's important we budget enough time to make sure our manufacturers do the game proud, to the high standard we expect. Additionally we have built in time for any unexpected delays, especially regarding shipping.

As usual, we will keep all backers updated throughout the journey, with regular updates and photos to let you all know how the game is progressing. We are proud of our reputation for keeping people informed without overwhelming them with content. Please check our previous campaigns to see our consistency with communication.

Latitude is being produced sustainably, using FSC materials at an FSC certified manufacturing company. We have taken the care to pack the game as efficiently as possible, to both reduce the cost of postage and shipping, but also the environmental impact, and to reduce waste. No plastic or resin pieces form part of the game- all components are sustainable card. Latitude is not a legacy game, and is designed to be played repeatedly without breaking, wearing out or suffering any form of damage.

Latitude is a completely AI-Free product. Everything, all artwork, games design and writing, has been done by humans without the use of AI.

The development of the board- notice the name changed whilst this was being worked on!

Radical 8 Games is a tiny independent games publishers operating out of York. We can only make games thanks to the support of our backers, which is why we always reward you with regular honest updates. Our track record of delivering games speaks for itself, even when faced with events such as Covid, last minute fulfillment center closures, and changes in international trade, we always keep you informed and do everything we can to fulfill on time whilst keeping prices low. We can do this because we take pride in our games and service. No money goes to the publisher from the Kickstarter until all games have been received, and we only run one campaign at a time, so all money raised from Latitude will be going towards getting Latitude in your hands.

Designer Andy Juell is never not playtesting, but often unsure where to submit feedback. When he isn't tutoring math/science or engaged in other semiprofessional nerdery, he's usually at least two of: lost down a research rabbit-hole, stumped on a Nikoli-style logic puzzle, or tragicomically attempting to keep up with his 'reading' list across various media.

All artwork for Spokes has been created by Rusembell, who did our artwork for Die of the Dead, Damask, Forks 2nd Edition, Spokes and now Latitude. Her imaginative and beautiful visuals are crucial to giving Latitude the table presence and vibrancy it deserves, and she has done a superb job to help keep everything colour-blind friendly.
