We Didn’t Playtest This: Legacies

Available now

$ 15.00

Playtest: Legacies contains more new cards with a unique twist: You get to write on them. Many of the cards will instruct you to write names or words, causing the effects to permanently change! We recommend getting a Sharpie brand marker for card-writing-on. Legacies can be played stand-alone, or combined with the other Playtest games.

I know I’m getting this and I think Asmadi has a great idea on this one why not check it out?

Timeline: Historical Events From Asmodee

Timeline: Historical Events

$ 14.99

JFK’s assassination, the 1st step on the moon, the last crusade… Can you put all these events correctly on the timeline? Each player is dealt the same number of cards. At the start of the game, a card is drawn at random from the stack and is placed at the center of the table with the date showing. This is the starting point for a timeline that will be gradually completed by the players. The first player then chooses one of his cards and places it before or after the card on the initial map. The player’s card is then turned over to show the date of the historical event. If it is correct, it stays in place. Otherwise, the card is discarded and the player must draw another to replace it. The more cards in the timeline, the harder it is not to make a mistake! The first player with no cards left wins.

Dixit Jinx

$ 14.99

Release date: Oct. 19th 2012

Jinx is a new Game in the Dixit family but unlike the original game the drawings are not realistic illustrations depicting scenes but images halfway between abstraction and figuration. During the game 9 cards are exposed in a square 3×3. The active player draws a locator map that will show him one of the nine cards with which he will play. This location is held secret. The player must now speak, sing, act out something that makes thinking about this card just like in “Dixit”. The other players go around and point to the card they think is correct but beware! Only one player can point a given card. Once a player has chosen the right card, the turn stops (although some have not chosen). The player who finds the right card keeps it (each card gives a victory point). Players who erred give their cards to the player active. But if neither player gets it right card, the active player must return one of the cards previously won.

HEAP Game Review

 Card Games, Privateer Press  Comments Off on HEAP Game Review
Aug 072012
 

HEAP is the new card Game from Privateer Press.   It is a Bodgers Game.

The box contains part cards, vehicles, reference cards, and the instigator card.  It also includes the rule book.

The Goal of HEAP is to be the first to add three parts to each of your vehicles.  Once achieved all players participate in the Pile Up for a final decisive victory.

I will have to admit when I was reading the rules I thought this game was going to be awful.  I was wrong.   The rules are hard to follow if you don’t try and play the game while reading them.  That is because it is difficult to process all the information that is given to you as fast as you can read.
