News Flash: Goblin Firework Fight Pre-Order, Rear Window Announced

Goblin Firework Fight Pre-Orders
Goblin Firework Fight, from Paizo, is currently available for pre-order. It is a party game, set for release on March 30. "The game is played over a number of rounds. Each round, every goblin gets to take one loot token from the town’s treasure pile. These tokens might represent useful tools or valuable treasure, like fireworks, dogslicers (goblin knives), or shields. Unfortunately, the tribe’s most fearsome beast, a pig called Squealy Nord, is also hiding in the treasure, bringing mayhem and chaos to any who draw his token from the pile. You never know what you might get!"

There are parties, knives, a saw, bickering, laughing, music…and a mysterious trunk. Do you detect a murder? Or is the secret, private world of the neighbors planting frightening ideas in your mind?"

Reviews
Escape the Dark Sector (There Will Be Games): “In Dark Sector you feel like you have much more control over your destiny. In doing this the game feels less arbitrary than its predecessor, the wins more meaningful, the losses more understandable.”

Legends of Sleepy Hollow (Geeks Under Grace): “Feels like many other dungeon-crawl-style games, but its clever token mechanism distinguishes it. While it is weighed down by a poor rulebook, it looks great and provides a fun, thematic experience.”

Catan Logic Puzzle (Just Push Start): “Rather unsurprisingly there’s no real link to Catan; other than the mention of settlers/trading, the iconography of the different resources and at a bit of a stretch linking settlements and cities together. This doesn’t detract from the puzzles themselves, though it does seem like the iconic branding has just been pasted on to get the game attention. Still, if you enjoy solo puzzles to crack then Catan Logic Puzzle offers enjoyment from yet another Logiquest title!”
