Expansions. So Many Expansions.

For those of you who have enjoyed Collapse, there are now new games you can play with that card deck. If you look in the Downloads section on The Game Crafter's Collapse page, you will see a link for Other Games With the Collapse Deck. These additional rules are not printed with the game, but you can download them for free to learn even more games to play with the Collapse deck.

And for those of you who have been laughing your way through A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Dungeon, there is so much news.

The Mother-of-All-Expansions expansion is now available. This is a set of five (yeah that's right, I said FIVE) new expansions for A Funny Thing and a larger box to hold the base game and all expansions. This new set includes Add-On cards (a whole new card type), pets, a town, more Monsters, and blank cards so you can add your own randomness to the game. Click HERE to see more details on The Game Crafter page.

And on a totally unimportant side note, here's a behind-the-scenes look at the naming process:

The pet expansion is officially called Perilous Pets, but it was almost called Pretty Pink Pets instead. This was the cause of some debate here at Art-Free Games.

One side loudly proclaimed, “You can’t call it the Pretty Pink Pets Expansion. That is way too girly!”

To which the other side responded, “Are you saying girls can’t be gamers?  That is so sexist!”

It was quite the heated argument. There was screaming. There was cussing. There were even some tears. It was bad.

And the sad thing is, Art-Free Games is a one-person operation, so it was just me in the room, yelling at myself. I imagine it was quite disturbing to see.

Perhaps I should cut back on the coffee.
