Maid Knight Saga Coming to Kickstarter June 28, 2022!
We're pleased to announce that we will be bringing the English version of the hit Japanese board game Shitamachi Maid to Kickstarter later this month under the name Maid Knight Saga: Story of Faltisia - The Complete Edition.
OVERVIEW
Maid Knight Saga: Story of Faltisia - The Complete Edition is a card-drafting board game from Japanese developer LAUGH SKETCH where 1-6 players assume the roles of students at Faltisia's esteemed Royal Academy and work their way through their studies to graduate and obtain the illustrious position of Maid Knight—a job integral to the country's national defense.
Maid Knight Saga: Story of Faltisia - The Complete Edition is a tableau-builder inspired by Sega's long-running Sakura Wars series that plays out over the course of three in-game years where players improve their student's various statistics in hopes of becoming official Combat Maids. Along their journey to Maidhood, players will draft cards and use those draws to either attend or skip various school-related functions such as lectures, supplementary classes, extra-curriculars, missions, and club activities. Choosing which of these to focus on shapes how your student grows and how prepared they are for their Maid Knight licensure exam.
Upon obtaining their license, students earn a character-specific power and level up in appearance to reflect their new Maid role. Throughout the game, players will earn gold, visit the academy shop to purchase items to help them beat out their rivals, and obtain victory points by the actions they take. And it's ultimately those victory points that are at the heart of Maid Knight Saga's aim, as at the conclusion of the game, the player with the highest victory points is the winner.
Maid Knight Saga: Story of Faltisia - The Complete Edition includes the base game Maid Knight Saga: The Story of Faltisia and its expansion Battle for London. In the expansion, players are presented with a new setting: 19th century London! Players will also be introduced to a host of other fresh features including new characters, components, mechanics, and art, all of which come together to create an experience that expands upon the base game in interesting and meaningful ways.
ENGLISH RELEASE
Maid Knight Saga: Story of Faltisia - The Complete Edition includes 216 cards, 286 tokens of various shapes, sizes, and purposes, 36 wooden cubes, 8 player boards, multiple rulebooks/reference guides, and all the Kickstarter exclusives we have planned for the game! For the English release, we've added a 2-player mode and a solo mode as well as made some visual/presentation changes to tighten up and streamline the game just a bit more.
