A Gaming Life
(Edit: It appears that the promos in the 5-Year Anniversary Pack for Shipwrights of the North Sea are direct reprints and not compatible with Shipwrights of the North Sea: Redux. Still, it’s only 9 cards and the rest of the promos in that batch… Continue Reading “New Garphill Games Kickstarter – Cards! And Other Things”
I like card games a lot. Short, punchy 2-player card games are even better, as you don’t need a lot of time and they work in almost any circumstance. Even better is when they do some innovative things with the whole genre. Like Cain… Continue Reading “Kickstarter Review – Like Cain and Abel”
(Edit: 3/12/24) – It’s live! Go back it here. In my sick doldrums last week, I missed the announcement from Garphill Games that the next (and final) entry in the South Tigris trilogy of games, Inventors of the South Tigris, is coming to Kickstarter… Continue Reading “Inventors of the South Tigris Coming to Kickstarter March 12”
Welcome back! Belly up to the bar and let me get you a drink of some kind. Doesn’t have to be booze. It’s Friday again. The week has kind of flown by, though that could be because it feels like I have a million… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Pre-Order Extravaganza!”
I’m kind of backing off some on the Kickstarter gravy train. While I did back Halls of Hegra a couple of months ago after some amazing video footage from my good friends Zilla Blitz and The Players’ Aid, I have come to the conclusion… Continue Reading “Empire’s End from John D. Clair – on Kickstarter now!”
I admit it. I’m a Garphill Games fanboy.

Another day, another Kickstarter! I’m a sucker for quick 2-player card games that can be played at work. I already backed one of them previously, and here’s another! Radlands is a 2-player card game published by Roxley Games. It’s designed by Daniel Piechnick with… Continue Reading “Radlands by Roxley Games – Now on Kickstarter”
(Edit 2/16/21 – And it’s live! Lots of gameplay descriptions too. Check it out) The other shoe has finally dropped! A couple of weeks ago, I did a post about a “Terraforming Mars-esque” game that noted designer Geoff Engelstein teased on Twitter. And now… Continue Reading “Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition Coming to Kickstarter”
I know I already told you it was coming (and judging by the hits on that post over the last couple of days, you’re all looking for it!), but now it’s here! Yesterday, the expansion to the wonderful tableau-building card game Fantastic Factories, designed… Continue Reading “Fantastic Factories: Manufactions Now on Kickstarter”
Really quick post for Friday because, well, it’s Friday. I’ve already done two posts this week and I just returned from an 8-hour drive around British Columbia that was really beautiful but also really exhausting. So let’s talk about Fantastic Factories: Manufactions! I first… Continue Reading “Fantastic Factories: Manufactions Coming to Kickstarter”
