RPG Merchant Tycoon!! (Indie)

By Comments are closed
RPG Merchant Tycoon is a 2-4 player game with an estimated play time of 30-60 minutes; designed by Fierce Punch Games. header Each player takes on the role of a merchant attempting to keep those crazy adventurers on the road killing dragons. Why? Because who hasn’t played Skyrim and thought, ‘yeah this game is fun and all, but I’d love it even more if I was that merchant in Markath!’ The end goal in RPGMT is to be the player with the most ‘Market Dominance’ at the end of the game. What does that mean? It means you need to amass a ton of gold, awesome loot, and a decent clientele. The end game triggers when the final client’s order has been fulfilled. Upon triggering the end game players...

Iello – Gen Con Press Event!

By Comments are closed
Earlier I posted a general flyby of our time at Gen Con, one of the events we wanted to give more time to, however, was the Iello event we had the chance of attending. Let me first explain the aesthetics and then the product. 11822286_614872805320250_4878656915942312412_n The event was held at one of the hotels near the convention center; making it easy to find. This was my first press event of the con so I wasn't sure what was in store, but upon arrival it was clear Iello didn't pull any stops; there were tables for both sitting as well as standing, a bar, and a buffet. As a reviewer I felt as though Iello recognized and cared about the value we brought to the table. It was great...

GenCon 2015 Weekend in Review!

By Comments are closed
“The best 4 days in gaming.” a slogan that the popular board game convention Gen Con claims; and in this humble reviewer’s opinion lives up to. Having just returned from Gen Con I decided I would take some time to fill you guys in on what Sean and I experience over these last 4 days. I will give a general review of the weekend, a highlight from each day, and some company-centric announcements we got while talking to the various publishers.
    General Overview
Like most cons GenCon is a whirlwind of activity; over 50,000 people walking through the exhibit hall, demo rooms, and hallways makes for a sensory overload. Fortunately said senses are being fed with Board, Card, and Roleplaying Game goodness. Our con included (for Brian; each of our numbers vary by person) playing a mere...

Mechanic Monday – Grid Movement

By Comments are closed
Many games utilize maps of some sort; especially war games. Games such as Risk and Axis and Allies are known for their realistic map interpretations; players moving their units across the country borders as they do combat. Other games use an alternate method of movement; grid based. This is most often seen with a map being broken down into hexes or squares. BGG has the first dated game using grid movement as Hnefatafl (year 400); I’ve never heard of the game, but the system is used in chess and checkers so its historical existence is not in question. The system itself is quite variable as well; as seen in Chess. In Chess each player is given the same equipment and starts with the same pieces and positions as their opponent the pieces, however, hold the...
