Three More

As I mentioned in the last post, we had 3 new games in the process of being printed. Those games are now ready for your playing pleasure!

Here's a short description of each game. For full details and pics, check out the page links below.

In Flabberduke, each card can be used for points or for its ability, but not both. Do you play the card in front of you for points, or do you discard it to use its ability? The choice is yours. Work to stay in the lead because you never know when the game will end. Whoever is in the lead when the Game Over card is drawn from the deck is the winner.

In Guildmaster of Dais, you kill monsters to earn glory, while trying to stop your opponents from doing the same thing. There is a push-you-luck element to the game because you earn more glory per kill if you have more monsters, but only if you retire before you die. If you die, you lose all your monsters and get no glory.

In Quests of Kyrea, you collect sets of adventurers to complete quests. Main Quests count toward winning the game. Side Quests don't count toward winning, but instead give you an ability you can use to help yourself or screw with your buddies.

To purchase any of these games or for a free download of the rules to have a look, check out any of these game pages on The Game Crafter:
    Flabberduke
    Guildmaster of Dais
    Quests of Kyrea

And in upcoming news:

Working on an adventure game with custom dice and a deck of skill cards you can use to upgrade your character. As with any new game, sometimes they work out in playtest and sometimes they don't. So only time will tell if the game is ever released. Stay tuned.

Five New Games

Been quite a while since the last post. But quiet doesn't mean nothing's happening. We have five new games to fill your game nights with joy.

Here's a short description of each game. For full details and pics, check out the page links below.

In Dungeon Merchant, you are, believe it or not, a merchant in a dungeon, selling your wares to all the other dungeon denizens. Build sets of cards to create orders and earn gold. But beware those pesky adventurers. Sometimes they attack, destroying your stuff!

Elemental Artifice is a game of bidding and bluffing. You have a hand of 4 elemental cards. You bid on Spells that you have the elements to cast. But you can bluff! You don’t actually have to have the elements needed to capture a Spell. You just need the other players to believe you do!

In Guild Assassin, you have 3 Guild Leaders. Create sets of cards to assassinate your opponents' Guild Leaders, while building Traps to protect your own. When all of your Guild Leaders have been assassinated you are out of the game. Last person left in the game wins.

In Zoot, players take turns challenging each other, forcing each other to discard cards to block the challenge. If your opponent only discards 1 card to block your challenge, you get to keep your challenge card. If they discard 2 or more then you must also discard your challenge card. When your hand is empty you are out of the game. Last person left in the game wins.

In Zyre, you are trying to match the last card played. Anyone who cannot match the card is out of the Round. Last person left in the Round wins a Point. The first player to take 7 Points wins the game. The catch is that the card matching rules keep changing.

To purchase any of these games or for a free download of the rules to have a look, check out any of these game pages on The Game Crafter:
    Dungeon Merchant
    Elemental Artifice
    Guild Assassin
    Zoot
    Zyre

And in upcoming news:

Three new games are done with testing and are at the printer. Once we're happy with the print proofs we'll be releasing those. Keep an eye open for those three games coming soon.
