Galaxy Trucker Ships Out to Steam

Yesterday, one of the best boardgame apps ever made finally appeared on Steam after a long period on iOS/Android. Galaxy Trucker, by Czech Games Edition, is a game that doesn’t really seem like it would be a good fit on digital. It’s a real-time… Continue Reading “Galaxy Trucker Ships Out to Steam”

Valley of the Kings Premium Edition – Kickstarter April 2

I’m a big deck-building fan, and the various Valley of the Kings ones are no exception. The three games are the base game, Afterlife and Last Rites.  They all come in really small boxes. The games are designed by Tom Cleaver with artwork by Banu Andaru and Guillermo H.… Continue Reading “Valley of the Kings Premium Edition – Kickstarter April 2”

Going Against Type – Bezier Games to Release CABO Card Game

Bezier Games is most well-known for tile-laying games like Suburbia or Castles of Mad King Ludwig. Or, even more recently, the incredibly variable One-Night series (like One-Night Ultimate Werewolf or One-Night Ultimate Alien). Now, my world has just shifted off of its axis. Bezier has now announced the release… Continue Reading “Going Against Type – Bezier Games to Release CABO Card Game”

Stronghold Games & Rex Brynen Reach Agreement on Aftershock Name Controversy

Good news has reached us here at Dude Central!
