Five Fingered Severance – You’re going to get fired, why not make it a blow out?

In FFS you play as clerks in a convenience store. You are going to be fired at the end of the day, that’s inevitable, so you want to steal, slack, and insult customers as much as possible before you go.

Pieces of Eight – Steal the Booty! Drink the Rum!

“You have to hear the story of this game.  It’s made by a guy who is in the army, over seas, right now.  He made this game while he was over there, and he is launching it on kickstarter!”, those were the words that came from my business partners mouth, and I must admit, my [...]

It had the same flavor as Scotland Yard, but with more depth and general complexity. The added mechanics led to a world more strategy, and I think adds more replay value.

Go Hunt – A dirty adult game that was not what I was expecting.

Today’s blog is rated ‘M’ for Mature. It is full of suggestive themes that parents may find offensive. The folks from “Go Hunt” contacted me a little while ago, saying they would be interested in having their game reviewed.  I didn’t really think much of it, assuming that this was just another “Go Fish” variant. [...]

Chaostle: Sorry meets Talisman

Every bit of this screams “Classic American Game”, and if you like that style, you’ll like this one. Judged within that category, this game is quite good. If however, you are a Euro Gamer, this will likely not float your boat.
