The Page

Serious Pulp is a company that knows how to run a Kickstarter, they have done The 7th Continent and an expansion for that both which funded well and they’ve fulfilled, so they have a good layout and flow to the page.

They have a massive section on game play, which is amazing, and for the people who have played 7th Continent, they have information showing the differences and how this builds upon what they did for that. So you can really get a good feel for the game.

The Game

The game itself looks like a lot of fun, and there are a number of playthroughs. Two of the people who I follow on YouTube have done playthroughs, so I’ll let those do the talking for the game.

Back or Brick

So is this game a back or brick for me? Well, let me start by saying, I have The 7th Continent on my shelf, and I haven’t played it yet, I need to get it to the table. And I like the idea of that game because it’s all about the exploration and kind of creating and telling a story. The 7th Citadel takes that story element up a notch, which I’m really excited about. So for me this wasn’t that easy a back but it is a back. What sold me on it was watching the playthroughs and seeing how this has more story to it and a bigger narrative going on than 7th Continent does, and we know I’m a sucker for campaign games. But this also isn’t a massive mini fest of a game, which I like as well.

So, is The 7th Citadel a back or a brick for you?
