In Waypoints you play as a hiker traversing a landscape of mountains, valleys, lakes and woodlands. Over four days you’ll travel from waypoint to waypoint, discovering different landmarks, animals and gear that might help you in your hike.
Postmark Games has their new PnP game up on KS and it’s a mere 4 pounds (roughly $5 USD). They make fantastic print and play games; both Voyages and Aquamarine – available on their website – are favourites in our home. Waypoints looks very neat; I particularly like how they’ve developed this “line crossing” system to break movement out of a standard grid and produce much more organic looking results.
I think the system looks very neat and will have some flexibility in how the different maps play. If you’ve played Voyages, you know they’re willing to create pretty different experiences with minor tweaks to the rule set and mechanics. Looking forward to seeing this one!
It’s up for crowdfunding now with the plan that the first two maps (of likely around 5 total) will be available shortly after the campaign with the rest coming later. I’m sure it’ll be up on their website for sale there in not too long as well.
Also just worth mentioning that the visual design looks fantastic; just a very pleasant looking experience all around.
