Hello, all you wonderful gamers out there. As you can see, it has been an inexcusably long time since the last post. Over a year! What the hell? The long, painful, aching silence (sounds like a line from a romance novel) hasn't been for lack of writing games...they just haven't been Art-Free Games. I've actually been writing some role-playing games in the last year, instead of card and board games. It has been fun to get into a whole new type of game. RPGs were good during Covid lockdown because you can play them over voice chats online, with people from around the world.
Still, that's no excuse for the silence here, and I am sorry about that.
However, working primarily on RPGs doesn't mean that there were no card and board games in the works. There are always card and board games in the works.
And so, without further ado, I give you five new games. There are short descriptions here. For full details, pics, and a free download of the rules, you can click on each game's name to be taken to The Game Crafter page for that game.
Three of the games are for the whole family, ages 12+.
In Mage Brawl, each player has their own deck of cards. Use various types of attack spells (Incantations, Conjurations, and Wands) to attack your opponent. Use defensive cards (Talismans, Amulets, and Scrolls) to block attacks. Your deck is your health. When your deck is empty you're out of the game. Last one left in the game wins.
In Murderficate, twelve of the world's greatest detectives are spending the night in Clueless Manor. You are not one of these detectives. Oh no. The players are all trying to kill these detectives, vying for the title of Master Assassin.
Strategy Board Game Bundle 2 adds green and yellow pieces to the Strategy Board Game Bundle, allowing all three games to be played with four players.
Two of the games are for adults, rated as 18+.
In Cheatin' Poker, you play poker...and you cheat! This is like no version of poker you've ever played. Cards have abilities that help you and mess with your opponents. There is a game board with cards printed on the squares. If you end the game on a square, the card listed in that square counts as being in your hand. Be devious. Be sneaky. Be cruel. And have fun doing it!
In Oh, the Horror, nightmares have invaded the land and you are trying to survive...typically by sacrificing your friends. Do whatever you have to do (including cheat!) to drive your friends insane. As people go insane they are knocked out of the game. The last person left in the game wins.
