That's an interesting idea, but could we come up with enough cards

This game looks awesome. Four players, asymmetric economic game where one player is the working class; one is the middle class; one is the capitalist class; and one is the state

I received all six boxes of the Joan of Arc kickstarter

This game had been involved in some sort of rights dispute with the designer during the kickstarter. Upon delivery, Mythic Games is saying that the rights have reverted to the designer, away from themselves, and so they won't be making any more Joan of Arc stuff.

In other words, this gargantuan game that was to be their flagship has come out to immediately go out of print

Pretty sad

Sovereign of Discord is an expansion for Fire in the Lake, in two parts:

-- New cards allow a 1961 scenario, a very different Vietnam
-- A different set of new cards adds events to the already existing 1964-72 scenarios

This crowdfund made the cut the same day it was announced



Meanwhile, Bell of Treason, the game about Czechoslovakian resistance to Hitler, has stalled, I'm not sure it's going to go through

And, the Torg: Eternity Orrorsh boxed set has finally delivered. You know, that took since February of 2021, which isn't nearly as long ago as it felt. I mean, it was late, but not late the way Cthulhu Wars kickstarters are late

My mate Antonios has moved into metal dice; this one is already funded but going for a few more days - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lu ... gon-dice-0

I'm going to bug him to let me roll some when I go over to play Elden Ring. How the heck do they balance these things? :)

Bring on the kung-fu amputees - no arms vs. no legs anyone? A bit of high-speed underground ninja-tunneling is always good as well. I wanna see some shit like that. Crazy monks with gnarly special powers can make any film good. FACT.

Castles by the Sea is a Euro where the players build sand castles. There are sand- and stone-colored blocks for the players' structures, and your stuff gets washed away at times

Well it's GMT, so you have these very specific games about things like Czech resistance, or the Paris Commune, or Churchill's conferences with FDR and Stalin

EDIT: Man I bet Churchill would be a great forum game, seems perfect actually
