HOBOKEN, NJ, UNITED STATES, July 3, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Spells of Doom, the People’s Choice winner of Greece’s Epitrepaizio 2014 Board Game Design contest, has conjured the most compelling elements of the fantasy world into a new board game that’s already winning positive reviews and attracting followers even before it enters the tabletop game market. Created by Drawlab Entertainment, a Greek board game publisher that’s eager to bring their production quality and creativity to the public, Spells of Doom has mounted a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign to raise $8,000 by August 3. The art and game play are completed, but crowdfunding money is needed to cover the production costs involved with manufacturing the $60 game.

The Greek company Drawlab Entertainment boasts a talented crew dedicated to producing works that combine the elements of engaging fantasy with contemporary production quality that will win the hearts and loyalty of fantasy fans now and for the future. The team includes board game producer/designer and data analyst Evangelos Foskolos; mechanical engineer Stavros Kourtis who turns dreams into reality, and blue-sky ideas into game board action; animator Stelios Kourtis: visual artist/illustrator Mario Themis Hatzidiakou Vasconcelo, who can take a request for a sketch and deliver a masterpiece; and artist Babisu Kourtis, a graphic novel designer who turned his skills to illustrating the Spells of Doom heroes; as well as Aikaterin Stefanatou, who oversees the business side of the project. Drawlab Entertainment is part of Drawlab, a company which provides creative design and prototyping services.

Their creation, Spells of Doom, which has already been favorably compared to fantasy Mage Wars and Summoner Wars, blazes its own, bold path in the realm of fantasy competition, as players construct the battlefield upon which they wage war, winning and losing magic shrines that alter the balance of power and transform the competitive landscape, ultimately deciding which side will emerge victorious.

Competing powers wage for supremacy in Spells of Doom. In the realm of Shaqua Maertis, Helloder has discovered magic, a potent force in a creature dedicated to the powers of evil that enables him to ally himself with darkness. Forces rise up against him, and the Empire of Fire is the setting for a civil war where 18 turns of play determine the winners and losers upon which the fate of the realm depends. Points can be earned on every six turns, but the fact that the game ends after 18 rounds invigorates play with a sense of urgency. Each of the four heroes has his own unique deck of cards, three mage towers and three defense towers, creatures that are his to summon and to control, and a hero template with 25 mana crystals. As the heroes move, attack, build, and capture magic shrines, the tide of battle turns. The game can be played with two players competing against each other, or with four players, which allows teams to strive to best their opponents by capturing the magic shrines and doing harm to their foes. The game components include the hero boards and cards, the scoring board, the game board itself upon which defense towers, mage towers, and magic shrines reveal the success of the strategy at play, magic crystals, damage tokens, creature tokens, hero miniatures, and the dice of doom.

With 30 days remaining in the campaign, crowdfunding has raised $6,297 of the $8,000 goal. Donors who provide financial support for the campaign will have the opportunity to receive, depending on the amount of their donations, not only the game itself, but also signed copies of the game, the chance to meet the team that created Spells of Doom, hand-painted miniatures from the game, a reference to the donor name in the game rulebook, and tee-shirts.
