Interesting Kickstarter(s) (Week of 3/12/2018)

Time flies! Are we halfway through March already? I feel like I've covered most of the notable solo-playable Kickstarters that are on the market, but there are some interesting things happening at the end of March and in early April. Stay tuned! 

There is one big, new campaign on the scene though: Martin Wallace's AuZtralia. The game is a combination of several different phases and mechanics. Set in an alternate-universe 1930s Australia, players will spend part of the game building up their ports, railroads, and resources. Every action takes up time, and time is a limited resource—soon the Old Ones will wake up and try to destroy the player(s) and everything they've built. 

AuZtralia has a fully-developed solo mode and seems highly thematic. It also seems like there is a lot going on in this game. The fact that Martin Wallace is the designer, however, makes me more inclined to trust. I'll be watching this one.
