My Designing brain is being flooded with mode ideas for this game. I recently read a novel about Gladiator Combat and it overwhelmed me with ideas and different ways to expand the theme and mechanics. So much fun. Lots to navigate through. - Luke

Working diligently towards building up a first prototype, lots of design work to be done. Check out our first draft on a box design. Pretty Cool eh? (sound Canadian much) - Luke

Got some other minis painted. Loving the player boards as well, easy favour management. 

Using Blood Rage mini's and loving some initial play-testing of the combat mechanics. This is game is bloodthirsty and social just as much as a tactical deckbuilder ... getting excited. 

I'm working on meeple ideas but have no idea what could be good or not, Kind of a fun project though.. Does this one look like a gladiator? - Luke

Now, I'm Canadian.. But I'm developing a game that hopefully will get some worldwide attention.. so I've thinking a little bit about how us up north talk and spell.. In Carthage, there are two words specifically that I'm concerned about Favour and Theatre, or if your from the US, Favor and Theater ... I'm a little concerned that if i don't spell these words the US way maybe it will annoy backers enough to not want to support/buy my game ... but on the other hand, I'm a proud canadian, and it might bother me to not have the "correct"(*subjective) spelling in my game ... I'm conflicted..

Might need a few tweeks, but this is the confirmed logo for Carthage.. so excited how it turned out. - Luke

I love meeples! ... but I've been seeing such success from minatures in Kickstarter games recently. ... im conflicted about which one to include in carthage ... would the community be more interested in a game with meeples and possibly less cost? or more expensive minatures game.. at the heart of my game is the deckbuilding component, but its seems like figures are really crucial to the success of the kickstarter game... ?

**UPDATE - orders some simple meeples to playtest with - looking into a minatures designer -
