Reviews & Previews of Indie and Kickstarted Games
In episode 69 I take a look at a game set called Monster Dice by Brian Edwards. Monster Dice comes with carved dice which look like monsters, and candy cards. Using these components, players can choose to play an array of games, including the two I show you in this video, Candy Grab and Sugar Rush.
In podcast episode 23, Chris returns to the Boston Festival of Indie Games (BFIG) for another round of interviews.
Dan talks to our very own, Carla Kopp of Weird Giraffe Games, about her Kickstarter campaign.
The town’s been invaded by monsters. The only savior: Fairway and his small guild of monster-fighting villagers. In today’s preview, Fairway takes a look at the dice-rolling, monster-fighting game: Rebels of Ravenport.
In episode 68 I take a look at the trick-taking game Dia de los Muertos by Jolly Roger Games and UltraPRO. Beautiful art and interactive mechanics, a two thumbs up from me! The game comes with some awesome goodies also!

Today, Tom sits down (virtually) with Seth Jaffee of Tasty Minstrel Games to discuss publishing, “deluxified” games, and designing games. Plus, Seth dishes on all things Eminent Domain including about a potential dice game.
“Call me, Fairway.” That’s a paraphrase of the famous first line from Moby Dick. It’s apropos since, in today’s preview, Fairway plays as Captain Ahab (Ishmael) against his white whales in a hunt to the death in Leviathan, a two-player, microgame currently on Kickstarter.
Finally! All teams are ready to go, your cargo hold is readily stocked, and your species is SO ready to hit the galaxy and start exploring.

Fairway gets smart in today’s preview of the upcoming, Kickstarter campaign, Intelle. Find out if he takes control of this two-player hacking game or if he gets his system rebooted.
