• Divine Right X: The Omega Expansion and more!

Last year Pungo Games, the non-wargaming division of Worthington Games, republished Divine Right in a nice format with better components and bigger 5/8" counters. I don't think the rules or gameplay are different than previous editions.

This year they're doing a Kickstarter for a major expansion. If you get everything at the $250 (+$15 USA shipping) level:

• Divine Right 2P - reprint of last year's game with rules and counter corrections
• Divine Right neoprene game map - although the game already comes with a mounted map it's in 8 sections so I can see why one big neoprene map would be nice
• Battles of Divine Right: Shrieker's Scrub - a standalone $25 1-hour tactical war game on one hard mounted map board and 64 counters
• Divine Right X: The Omega Expansion - the big new thing is a boxed expansion of advanced rules rather than the Scarlet Empire expansion mentioned in the first KS. 300-page rulebook and guide, 200+ cards, 2 counter sheets plus other stuff. I guess this rulebook would replace the original rulebook and would have made it Divine Right 2E if that's the path they had wanted to go.

Worthington Game I trust enough as a publisher — if this had been a company that's only done the previous Divine Right KS I'd be hesitant. Still it's a lot of money for a game that I've played once with my friends back in college. A game that's set in its own universe too and yet not a generic fantasy game — it's a very specific setting.

Kickstarter ends Sep 20. I guess we'll see if something else pops up that I'd rather buy.

2025-09-17: Decided not to buy this. Once I realized the $250 buy it all is just the 4 individual item prices added together it made me rethink and once I once started thinking about it again I decided it's not nostalgic enough for me to buy and then leave in my games closet unplayed.
