Welcome to the weekly Kickstarter round-up!
Firstly Dracucat has reached its target now with 12 days to go, so expect that game to be available at some point in the future; while Home Free has reached and passed the Dockland stretch goal and is very close to getting the Cat stretch goal met too. Aberford unfortunately is way off target with less than 3 days to go, so another method will need to be found to fund that game if Sketchy Panda decide to go ahead with it.
Every one of the four games covered last week still have quite a while to go yet and none are too close to their targets as of yet. However we know that the last few days of a Kickstarter can bring surges so this isn't to say that they will fail, and we'll update you as the weeks go by.

GOAT ARMY
Starting us off with the sole card game this week, and I chose this one because not only does it sound quite silly; it's another team based card game and I do enjoy some co-op play.
The game is an 12+ (normal deck) or 18+ (NSFW deck) game for 2-6 players, although there needs to be an even number to make the two teams balanced. The aim is simply to be the team who conquers 25 of the territories, and play is conducted through 3 assaults. The team who wins the best of 3 using their held damage cards get the territory.
GOAT ARMY currently has 36 days to go and has made €1,301 of its €2,000 goal, so I dare say this one will meet target.

Wanderer
This is a 2D adventure game with RPG elements set in a sci-fi future, using pixel graphics and a hand painted feel setting. Sounds promising.
The story follows a convict who awakes his deep sleep to find the orbital prison facility he was being held in has crashed on an abandoned Earth. With the aid of a ragtag group he finds himself trekking the wasteland of the planet to try and locate the nine cell blocks now scattered about the planet, braving the harsh environments as well as dangers both animal and sentient. The game is also on Steam Greenlight, so if you're interested you might want to go find it to vote it up there too.
Wanderer has made $15,686 of its $70,000 goal so far with 26 days still to go.

Quatros Origins
This game's a puzzler that might seem familiar at first, but this game has a neat little twist to turn it around. Literally.
Quatros is like a graphically updated Tetris. Except whenever a piece is placed the 'board' will rotate 90s degrees, changing the stacks and lines to keep you on your toes and alert. Each turn could mess up or make easier your task as you keep stacking blocks to form the lines to make them vanish and score your points. It's simple but if you're a fan of simple puzzle games, this one might be for you.
Quatros Origins has a target of €15,000 of which it has made only €515 so far with 26 more days to go.

Scribbled Arena
Finishing our round-up today is a game with graphics that consist of school-book scribbles, which is a unique draw to say the least.
Scribbled Arena is a twin-stick shooter where everything looks like the pen doodles that you used to draw on or in your school books during class. It has both a singleplayer and a multiplayer mode, with customisation of armours and weaponry available. It's already been successful on Android and is now halfway through development for the PC version and the Kickstarter page has a planned schedule of objectives and when they aim to be working on them which inspires a little confidence in backers if they want to know when they can expect to see certain things.
Scribbled Arena has made $1,178 of the $25,000 goal and has 27 days to go.
