Cyclades Legendary Edition hauls in half a million in crowdfunding for revamped Bruno Cathala board game

The “director’s cut” of Cyclades has hit crowdfunding platform Kickstarter and already managed to earn nearly $600,000 for a Legendary Edition of the beloved board game.

Both Cathala and Maublanc returned to remaster their territory control board game set amongst the Greek Isles, which will be published by Open Sesame Games. Cyclades: Legendary Edition will fold all of the expansions into the core game while also taking a fine-toothed comb through the rulebook for some tightening and modernising.
