Hopeful Games – NEON HOPE

For a short time NEON HOPE is still available for Late Pledge: www.kickstarter.com/projects/hop...

But do not worry: Libby and Julian from @boxedmeeples.bsky.social are on the train and willing to help. Together you can escape the corp's grasp. 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️

Every great story needs a train episode! 🚅 In NEON HOPE you can board the futuristic EuroLoop train – but corporate security has followed you there. #solarpunk #cyberpunk #boardgames

You can still late pledge NEON HOPE for a short time: www.kickstarter.com/projects/hop...

Join us at Spielemesse Hamburg! 🚢 We are showing the latest version of NEON HOPE at the Spielwerk booth. ✨ ✨ ✨ There you can play many amazing prototypes from local designers. #boardgames #hamburg #solarpunk #cyberpunk

Graphic celebrating our strike ending. It reads: November 12, 2025 The Strike is Over! with a raised fist and the Kickstarter United logo in each corner

After 7 months of bargaining, and 42 days of striking Kickstarter United has voted to end the strike

Graphic with multiple picket signs that reads "[up arrow] Minimum Salary", "4 day Work Week", and a big cancel sign over "AI Replacing Jobs" and so much more. Go to kickstarterunited.org to see it all!

WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!

At the end, we found countless typos and small mistakes… but one thing was sure: NEON HOPE is ready! Ready for you to playtest it.

If you want to participate in community playtesting: join our Discord. discord.neonhopegame.com

We spent last weekend at a cabin in northern Germany to playtest NEON HOPE! While Torben made vegetarian chilli and pizza to keep us at full endurance, Francesco, Dominik, and our core playtesters fought for a better future. #boardgames #cardgames #solarpunk #cyberpunk #gamedesign

I am having a lot of fun at #SPIEL25. Meeting old and new friends! Any games I should check out on the final day, before it's too late? #boardgames #gaming #brettspiele

YouTube video by Semi Co-op Our twelve-hour #SPIEL day condensed in less than 90 seconds! Many people, many games, many yays!

SPIEL - SATURDAY! 🌟 Here's a video that condenses our 12+ hour day at the halls into 90 seconds and Youtube decided to grace with this terrible cover image. 🤣

Asim Shakib's card for Neon Hope

Neon Hope

We talked to @hopefulgames.bsky.social for an hour and they showed us how Neon Hope is coming along. It's an exciting storytelling card game (think Arkham Horror LCG) and it's not afraid to get political in its story and fluff texts.

You can still late pledge! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hop...

I'm helping out at the SAZ booth today at #SPIEL25. The perfect first first point of contact for new and upcoming designers. Always wanted to make a game? Come by and talk to me about it! #boardgames

In NEON HOPE you can rescue them from a secret facility, where they are being held. If you free them, they will join your team to cause even more trouble – keeping the corporation off your trail. ✊✊✊

Kickstarter United is on strike! We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking A codified 4-day work week. We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work. Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers. We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

Creators Show your solidarity by: Continue using the platform like normal When something breaks, complain loudly that it is management's fault for causing the strike Include our logo and strike info on your project Send a letter to KSR leadership urging them to meet our demands & end the strike bit.ly/KSRUletter

Thanks for bringing this up! 🙏💚 Not sure why the link wasn't there. We fixed this now!

NEON HOPE hero image. A dark figure looking over a futuristic berlin in blue and green.

But why does she have 1 in all her attributes? Because she is actually the most flexible character in NEON HOPE. Her Character Tool card flips to grant her just the perfect attribute boost – at least if you time it right. Otherwise you might be stuck with 1s.
