Board Game Madness 5/8

Fun:

  • Since last Friday was Star Wars day (May the Fourth be with you), I pass along this unbelievably impressive piece of work by some guy named Djali. These aren’t minis anymore though, they’re maxis!
  • Again, I am not a war gamer, but I appreciate the detail that goes into the hobby
  • And the sword shall be received by he who fights for the kingdom and righteousness

New Games:
  • Ace Detective: A story telling card game where you spin a tale in pre-WWII San Francisco outlining some crime and the detectives’ attempts to solve it. Release: 2013
  • Richelieu: A political game with a lot of interaction where you try to influence the Cardinal and defend against the English, protestants, Habsburgs and enemy French nobles. Release in June.

iOS:
  • Yggdrasil released
  • Conquest! Medieval released
  • Ascension Storm of Souls expansion submitted for approval, so it should be available within a week
  • Summoner Wars in June
  • Dominion development continues

News:
  • The Collector’s Trove is auctioning off Dave Arneson’s game collection. Arneson is one of the co-creators of Dungeons and Dragons and had over 10,000 individual items in a storage locker. Rare wargames, RPGs and autographed items are part of the set. They’re being sold on eBay.

Recently Played:
  • Not much gaming this week, but I made sure I spent some time with the kids on Saturday evening and played a couple of games of duck! duck! Go!

Happy Gaming!
