AuZtralia now live on Kickstarter
Guess what else just arrived on Kickstarter? (I’ll refrain from the same joke I used in yesterday’s Werewords post). You may remember me gushing about the idea of AuZtralia, designed by Martin Wallace. It’s the spiritual sequel to his brilliant game, A Study in… Continue Reading “AuZtralia now live on Kickstarter”
Top 10 Games Played in 2017 (10-6)
It’s the end of the year, and everybody in the boardgaming world is doing their “top picks of 2017” or some other variation of that. However, I don’t play enough brand new games to make a list like that. This year was a record-breaking… Continue Reading “Top 10 Games Played in 2017 (10-6)”

Brass Kickstarter is Live!!!
Last week, I showcased the upcoming Kickstarter for the new version of Brass (rechristened Brass: Lancashire) being published by Roxley Games. Pictures of the new board, new pieces, new art in general, all looked marvelous. This last Easter Monday, the Kickstarter went live, and… Continue Reading “Brass Kickstarter is Live!!!”
New Edition of Brass from Roxley Games – Kickstarter April 17
One of the best economic games for those players who don’t necessarily want to feel like they’re nothing but an accountant using spreadsheets is a game called Brass (now apparently renamed Brass: Lancashire for reasons I’ll get to in a moment). The game, designed… Continue Reading “New Edition of Brass from Roxley Games – Kickstarter April 17”
