I Swear I Put That Influence Somewhere (A Review of Fealty)

How many games start with the death of a king and end with one of the players being crowned the new king?  I'm not sure but Fealty stands out from the bunch by immediately dropping the premise in favor of solid gameplay.  You can still act the part of an aspiring lord and demand that everyone treat you with the respect you're due but instead let's get right into the game.

Wizards Gone Wild (A Preview of Keep the Crown)

The king, in his noble wisdom and generosity, has opened the royal treasury for all to partake in the abundance!  But like most things that sound too good to be true, there is a catch.  You may only take treasure in certain amounts and in a particular order.  Are you smart enough to sort through the jumbled cache before the other commoners beat you to the best riches?  Eh, if not, you can always resort to a little magic and even some old-fashioned sneakiness!

[Ed. note: This is a preview of a non-final, non-production prototype of the game. Our opinions reflect that of the game at the time we played it; the final product may feature some slight variation in game play, art, and components.]

Padding About (A Review of Hey Froggy!)

Gather Around The Watering Hole (A Review of Through The Desert)

The Desert is a dangerous and uncharted area that is divided into neat little hexes that can each hold exactly one camel.  This is the first lesson you learn in nomad desert herding 101.  With this knowledge, and many other valuable tidbits, you head out into the vast and extremely crowded desert in search of water.  Will you prosper where other caravans have withered away and become King of the Desert?
