New Osaka is live
New Osaka is a 1-4 player dice rolling and area control game about ruling a land devastated by roaming Kaiju monsters. It is live on Kickstarter, and the campaign will run for 35 days. You may pledge for either the standee version or the Premium version with monster minis, or for the Luxury all-minis version.
In New Osaka, an evil scientist has released mutated Kaiju monsters. You play as an organization trying to defeat the monsters as well as other, rival organizations. You have mechs and vehicles at your disposal, either for fighting or constructing, and you will be using stations on the map to upgrade them. Over the course of the game, you will be visiting buildings to gain resources, constructing new buildings, fighting monsters and your opponents. Each organization has its own special ability, as well as a deck of skill upgrades. Your warehouses can be attacked by other players, so you have to be able to defend them.
At the beginning of each round you roll a D6, and the result tells you how many actions you can perform that round. Fights with other players are resolved by rolling a D12 and adding the modifier from a skill card. The loser has to pay the winner money. Fights against Kaijus are resolved by rolling each Kaiju's specific die. You will also have to take out the boss monster, Sobaba. The player with the most points wins the game. There is no mention of the solo rules at this point.
