Reviews & Previews of Indie and Kickstarted Games
Board and card games cover all sorts of topics. Today, Fairway picks up Treatment: A Psychiatry Card Game. A game that tackles psychological disorders like addiction, depression, anxiety and a host of other disorders. See if this game is just what the doctor ordered.
Fairway controls a team of wizards in a ridiculously dangerous cave filled with other wizards and two hungry, but easily manipulated dragons. Yep. Today he’s reviewing Dragon Dodge, a two-player spell-casting and tiling laying game.
Today, Fairway takes command of an elite squadron of mercenaries and soldiers in a dystopian future where a mining corporation “accidentally” destroyed the planet. Find out whether he can destroy the restless population or whether he’ll totally lose control in this review of Battle for Sularia and its expansion Blood, Profit and Glory.
For some reason, all of Fairway’s stories end with dad jokes and his daughter’s always involved dirty socks and time travel. That’s what Fairway learned when he played The Siblings Trouble. A relatively recent Kickstarter game from Eduardo Baraf.
Fairway knows all too well how much dragons love their treasure. He’s reviewed at least one game for TIGR where that was the case. Today, he ventures into the lair of a sleeping dragon to see if he can walk out with the most treasure in this review of Hoard by Cheeky Parrot Games.
In a busy travel week like Thanksgiving, Fairway picks up yet another game involving terrible modes of transportation (read his review of Eriath: The Worst Ship in the Universe). Today, he hops aboard the highly flammable Aerclanken ship of Dirigible Disaster.
Aliens know that the best thing in the universe is ice cream. Players have been saving the world from them for years now on their mobile devices. But Fairway was asked to save the universe, yet again, in today’s preview of the cooperative card game: Robots ❤️ Ice Cream.
Everyone knows elves love baking cookies even if OSHA might object to their unsafe working conditions–who puts hot ovens inside trees? But did you know that gnomes are willing to work really hard to steal them? Fairway found out the hard way that gnomes will stop at nothing to prevent other gnomes from making off with their precious cookie when he reviewed Steal the Cookie by Bradley Gaurano. Steal the Cookie is coming to Kickstarter, soon.
In episode 46, we take a look at a pick-up-and-deliver game that plays about an hour or slightly under called Isaribi. Isaribi takes place in the Edo period of Japan, and in the game players are taking turns attempting to earn the most money, or Ryo as it known in the game, by fishing and selling their catch in the market along the coast of Tokyo.
By many accounts, world bee populations are in decline. Times are tough for honey bees. Today, Fairway picks up a recent Kickstarter delivery that takes on the hard life of bees and the threats to them: Honey Wars by Gold Seal Games. Find out if the game is sweet or whether he just gets stung.
