Reviews & Previews of Indie and Kickstarted Games
Fairway loved Frogger growing up. There’s something lovable about the idea of a frog trying to cross a road only to drown (?) in a river. Today, Fairway picks up what feels like the board game equivalent of Frogger, Highway to Shell, by Concrete Canoe Games.
In episode 36, we look at a super adorable game called Cake Duel, in which players are commanders of Sheepie battalions, attempting to bluff their way to taking all of their opponent’s cakes. The first player to three victory points is the winner of Cake Duel!
In episode 35, we take a look at a dark game about orphans getting taken by the boogeyman! Endangered Orphans of Condyle Cove plays 2-3 players and lasts about 30 minutes. Players attempt to be the last orphan to not run out of options or commit an act of desperation that brings along the boogeyman!
He’s paid for his tickets and parked in lot ZYY a county over. Now, Unfairway gets to relive his Great Flags-attending, Roller Coaster Tycoon-playing youth in this preview of the theme-park-building game Unfair, currently on Kickstarter. Everyone keep your arms and legs inside the compartment at all times and… Enjoy the ride!
Dino Dude Ranch is a great family, surprisingly adult-friendly, dice rolling game of wrangling dinosaurs and avoiding tar pits. Fairway takes a look at this Kickstarted game and its deluxe, velociraptor expansion.
