Lone Shark Games and Monte Cook Games Announce The Ninth World: A Skillbuilding Game for Numenera Kickstarter
Lone Shark Games, the creators of the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game, has teamed up with acclaimed game designer Paul Peterson (Smash-Up, Guillotine) and Monte Cook Games to create The Ninth World: A Skillbuilding Game for Numenera. A Kickstarter campaign to fund production of the game launches on Tuesday, December 15, 2015.
The Ninth World is a competitive card game for 2 to 5 players, and is designed by Paul Peterson, Boyan Radakovich, and Mike Selinker, with graphics by Shane Tyree and the artists of Numenera. They worked closely with the team at Monte Cook Games to make this game what it is today.
“This is unlike anything we’ve ever done before,” said Mike Selinker, Lone Shark Games. “We’ve joined the worlds of RPGs and boardgames with the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game and the upcoming Apocrypha Adventure Card Game, but now we’re bringing that inclusive vision to a competitive card game set a billion years in the future.”
“We’re really excited about how well this game immerses players in the Ninth World,” said Monte Cook, designer of Numenera and co-owner of Monte Cook Games. “It’s a fast-paced game that’s a lot of fun to play, and it just feels like the Numenera setting.”
