I have to say from the outset that this was one of the games that caught my eye from the word go ahead of Essen 2011, simply because of the fantastic artwork and design of the game. But it was not one that I immediately picked up because of the limited player range; most of my gaming is either in a larger group or two player. So I was very exited when Mark gave me the chance to review Singapore and I was not disappointed, when I eventually found the right number of players.
This week’s review subject is a 2007 game out of Germany, from MAG Games. I know, you’re thinking, “What the hell do I care about some German game from 5 years ago that I never heard of?” Well, it’s my stated goal to bring you news about games you may not know about that are worth your time. Well, Caveman is that game.
Kickstarter is becoming THE platform of choice to release games to the public by companies of all sorts. The good thing is that we are seeing a lot of new and very original games that otherwise we wouldn’t have seen.
From the publisher- In Dragon’s Gold is each player controls a team of dragon hunters (two knights, a thief, and a wizard). Like all dragon slayers, they only have one goal: Cool magic items and lots of treasure! Actually killing a dragon? It’s a piece of cake. The most difficult part comes after the smoke clears and the dragon is dead: Agreeing how to divide the loot!
Revolver: The Wild West Gunfighting Game, from White Goblin Games Review by Mark Rivera from Boardgames in Blighty Designer –
Hello all, I took our freshly unboxed Game Of Thrones to the Wigan Wargames club before Christmas to give it a test drive. Being a club consisting of thoroughly nice people it’s always good to sit down with them as even if the game is rubbish, you are in good company. Luckily, Game of Thrones is not rubbish, it is very good.
Still, when you get your game and everything from the moment go is a success, and there are barely any hiccups… boy it’s worth it! That’s exactly what happened to me with The Road to Canterbury after I backed it in Kickstarter.
Again (I know, I know… we seem to be on overdrive at the moment…) here we are again with another show, just before the Christmas season!

I have had an idea for a game. It’s a card game. In the game, the players have to hunt down a bunch of witches who are performing spells on innocent people. Once they are found, they have to be burnt to death without trial because, as we all know, once you’ve made a spell, you are no longer worthy of being called a human being and deserve to die. The more witches you kill, the more points you score and, at the end of the game, the player who’s committed the most number of murders wins.
