Dark Gothic is card game based on American Gothic Horror from Flying Frog Productions. This game uses resource management in a unique that also incorporates deck building and management.
After getting use to the concept of building and thinning your deck during game play I found Dark Gothic to be very entertaining.

Each set of colors has the unique ability to change the game’s current rule set to make a player’s hand the current winner.

If you are familiar with the PACG then you already know that this is a great game.
At Gen Con I met the crew from Black Monk and they Asked me to do a preview for their new game 1919 the Noble Experiment. It’s a card game where two to four players race to distill whisky, bottle it, and deliver it to the local bars and pubs.
Here is the Box Breaking.
Here we discuss the different card components that the game uses.

I was introduced to Love Letter at Origins 2014, where it won an award for best family game. Honestly if it weren’t for Jason Hardy I wouldn’t have given the game a first look. I mean what kind of game has only 16 cards? Well Love Letter does, and it does it well.
The object of the game is that each player is trying to have a love letter delivered to the princess who’s grieving the loss of the queen. The princess wants nothing to do with society and has locked herself in the tower.
At the start of the game each player has one card in hand. At the start of a player’s turn they draw a card and play one. When a card is played the written effect is triggered. At the end of the round the player with the highest card value is the winner of the round and receives a marker indicating a letter has been delivered to the princess. The game rounds continue until one player has a predetermined number of letters delivered. The number of letters is set by the number of players.
It doesn’t sound like much does it? It doesn’t take long for a player to realize that if they don’t count and use logic they’ll lose. Then it hits you to bluff and it really begins. The combination of bluffing and deduction keeps the players engaged the whole game. There is no waiting to do something because you’re too busy studying your opponents.
I really thought that Love Letter was going to be a loser, but it turns out to be a winner largely because you don’t play the game, you play the players.
ShuffleTech is the first time I have ever seen High quality sleeves paired with sleeve inserts at a reasonable – no great price.
When I start playing MtG again, hopefully soon, I will consider these for protection.
One of the games I got to try out at Gen Con was Hero Brigade Games. It is a pretty cool looking card game. I will have to play it a few more times to really let you know what I think.
I look forward to more Hero Brigade.
At Gen Con I had the chance to speak with Kyle about Shadow Era. Shadow Era is a digital card game that has made the cross over to a trading card game.
With a fan base of four million players I expect to see some really super things from Shadow Era.
