This new card game is all about hand management and clever timing. DOUC in Danger offers 2-6 players a chance to save the doucs and outsmart their opponents at the same time. 

While it's easy to learn the rules to this game, there are plenty of variants and levels that will continually challenge players, adding a nice level of difficulty to the base game (which is all included in the Kickstarter promotion). Watch it here: youtu.be/vzWfmoUuc0s

A Review of DOG PARK | Recruit, Walk, and Care for Cute Pups!

11/14/2022

0 Comments

 
Picture
Dog Park is a mid-weight, competitive set-collection and point-to-point movement game in which players take on the role of dog walkers.

There's a wonderful blind bid in the recruitment phase and then players will inevitably get in each other's way as they stroll through the park, gathering the necessary resources to create an inviting kennel for their dogs. 

The end game scoring incorporates conservative bidding, nabbing reputation points during dog walks, and accomplishing personal objectives. The coolest reputation points that players vie for are the breed bonus points which go to the player who gathered the most dogs in each breed, earning victory points from 8 to 2, depending on where they were randomly dealt at the beginning of the game. 

Dog Park scratches that dog itch and gives you everything you've wanted in a game about dogs.

VERDANT | The Coolest Puzzly Spatial Game About Plants

11/8/2022

0 Comments

 
Join me in this overview of Verdant, a new card placement game from Flatout Games. Players collect and care for their houseplants as they cozy up the place. 

Verdant is a puzzly spatial game for 1-5 players and takes about 30 minutes to play. It's my new favorite filler game. There's open drafting, set collection, and grid placement. What's not to like?!

THE SPILL | A Cooperative Dice-Tower Game | Overview & Review

11/1/2022

0 Comments

I received my Kickstarter-backed copy of The Spill and couldn't wait to play it. There are several features/mechanics that sold me on backing it, which include a dice tower, cooperative play, and scalable difficulty. 

Players will attempt to contain the oil flowing from the rig at the center of the board, remove what oil they can from the waters (either temporarily or permanently), and hopefully rescue as many of the marine animals as they can. 

Check out my overview & review of The Spill now: youtu.be/FiqbJDN45co
