Gamefound

Make cheesy delicacies or protect the coop as a heroic chicken! This month we have cooperative adventures, tense two-player head-to-heads, and solo micro games, as well as a unique book that is a story, game, and game design guide all rolled into one!

The right gem colors will earn points while the wrong ones will lose points. But you’ll need to collect a few of the wrong colors, at least, if you want a chance at making bets and winning cards.

This wonderfully elegant and engaging engine-building game from Spiel Des Jahres designer Randy Flynn (Cascadia) builds upon his growing reputation, as players compete to become the most famous carpet weaver.

Lots of animals in this month’s games: from critters battling for trash in alleyways and food in the forest to animal newspapermen filling the front page with woodland news.

This month on crowdfunding sites we have backstabbing pirates, evil scientists, and solo adventures that fit into your pocket — plus three new games from BoardGameTables.com, a domino-inspired abstract game, and a tile-layer over on Gamefound.

This month on Kickstarter, Pandasaurus brings a new game from the designer of Wingspan, Floodgate Games introduces a legacy adaptation of Sagrada, and much more.

We’ve found a very nifty-looking game on Kickstarter, with a unique twist on flip-and-write (you’re writing on a globe!), as well as deck-builders, murder mysteries, and quirky cheeses!
