Glenn Reviews:

Glenn reviews the game Prohis from Blue Orange Games. It's a 3-6 player game about smuggling during the Prohibition. You're not just smuggling alcohol but other illegal goods as well. Your primary focus is building your empire while keeping the cops out of your business. Make sure you get them out of your hand and into play. Any goods left in your hand will count against you.

We are taking a break from our convention theme to talk with Matthew McFarland of Growling Door Games. He picked up the license for the horror genre RPG Chill and brought it back in a new, updated version. We wanted to know what it took to get the license to a game that is no longer in print and breathe new life into it. We also discuss the impact Chill made on us in the 90's and what Matthew's plans for the future are for Chill resource books.

Glenn's Review:

Glenn reviews the expandable card game called Ashes: Rise of the Phoenix Born. It's a two player game that allows for you to add to your decks. You play Phoenixborns, beings who are demi-gods, charged with protecting the world. Something has gone wrong, and greed rules the land. A legend of a Phoenixborn who absorbs enough of the ashes of others, can ascend into godhood. Now it's every Phoenixborn for themselves. Using your 30 card deck and your 10 dice magic pool, your fight the other Phoenixborn to conquer the world or just survive it.

Glenn reviews the boardgame Via Appia from Queen Games. You are on the Via Appia, the famous road of Ancient Rome. You need to help finish the road that connects Rome to Brindisi. You need to quarry stone, manage, and place materials to help finish the great Roman road. It plays up to 4 players and takes about 45 minutes to play. It's a fun game that is family friendly.

Kickstarter Spotlight

Our Kickstarter Spotlight focuses on Lobotomy Board Game. Characters will fight off monsters straight out from the classic horror movies (or maybe just concerned hospital staff?), collect powerful items (or rather random trash?) and recover scraps of memory that unlock new skills and powers (also known as slipping deeper into madness). All that in an anticipation for the final battle against the Chief Hospital Administrator who holds the keys to the asylum and your freedom.
