Reviews & Previews of Indie and Kickstarted Games
In episode 73, I check out a 2-4 player card game called Zombie Road, in which players are running away from zombies, trying to accumulate the miles they need to reach the zombie-free oasis.

Cassie is here to help you learn the new trick-taking game by Gold Seal Games that’s currently on Kickstarter: Tricky Tides.
Groves is a beautiful game designed by Steven Aramini and Dan Letzring, with artwork by Nolan Nasser, and published by Letiman Games. Groves had a very successful Kickstarter campaign, reaching a funding amount of $38,123 (433% of its goal) and 957 backers. This game recently began fulfillment to its Kickstarter backers, including me! I was lucky enough to own one of the prototype copies of this game and super stoked to compare it to the final production copy. Now that I have both in my possession, I can do just that! Without further ado, Before and After: Groves edition.

Last year, IDW Games announced that they would be publishing a Wayward board game based on the popular Image Comics’ series, Wayward, by Jim Zub and Steven Cummings. Few details were shared at the time of the announcement about the game and what we can expect from it, but we did learn some awesome things.
It is no surprise to anyone when I tell them I like indie games. I mean the name of the website I write for is The Indie Game Report. When I attended Gen Con this past August, I was set on finding games that weren’t listed in “The Hotness” on BoardGameGeek. I wanted to find the games which were treasures hidden among the shiny franchised games.
In my 70th review, I share my thoughts on the single-player game Quest: Awakening of Melior from Silent Se7en 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 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!
