About a year ago, whilst working by candlelight one foggy night on the Lower East Side, we thought, Hey, wouldnt it be cool if we brought together a group of Kickstarter creators to show off their games at PAX? That very same night The Kickstarter Arcade was born, and after drawing up a plan and swearing blood oaths upon a rusty Macbook, we brought the Arcade to PAX East and PAX Prime in 2012. Now, were excited to return to PAX East in Boston this week with a whole new crew of creators in tow. Well be taking over Room 103 (for those of you who visited us last year, its the same room) and transforming it into a giant 3D rectangle, er, space filled with games you have been yearning to play.
The ProjectsLike at previous PAXs (PAXes? PAXIS??), youll see a few familiar faces (*cough* Cards Against Humanity *cough*) as well as many new faces and new games, as our talented community of game designers and developers continues to grow and crank out badass new titles faster than you can say Cthulhu. Try out Robin Arnotts audio-visual experience SoundSelf, duke it out with giant blazing swords in God of Blades, get in touch with your inner-strategic-Viking with The Banner Saga, or bring your friends and play Hokra and BaraBariBall for a few hours.
And it wouldnt be the Kickstarter Arcade without a serious lineup of tabletop demos. Dive deep into Evil Hats Race to Adventure or experience the brutal lego warfare that is Joshua Newmans Mobile Frame Zero. Make sure to check out the complete demo schedule below!
Since the games universe on Kickstarter expands well beyond video games and tabletop games, were also excited that a few fine folks from Video Game High School will be joining us to meet with the fans and backers who helped them film not one but TWO seasons of their hit web series.
See the complete list of participating projects here.

Time DilationI know what youre thinking. Youre thinking there is no way in this mortal plane you will ever possibly be able to see everything at PAX! Well thats okay, because the Kickstarter room is housed within a small temporal anomaly, and by entering you will have infinity hours to play games with friends. (Though when you come out everyone outside will be 1000 years older and youll have only aged 3 seconds).
So come by and visit us! Also, we made a bunch of stuff to give you, and it would be really awkward to return home with thousands of buttons.
