The Fall 2016 issue of Casual Game Insider has been released! Read about Valeria: Card Kingdoms, Gen Con 2016, bringing your game to market, storytelling in board games, Watch It Played!, and the origins of the hit game SET.
An interactive board game tutorial app launches this month, Munchkin Zombies Guest Artist Edition ships next week, and BoardGameGeek releases its SPEIL 2016 broadcast schedule.
This latest game craze is not about strategy, components, artwork, or mechanics — it's about pure silliness. But sometimes that's just what you need for a great party or game night.
Pirates, aliens, and witch doctors, oh my! This month on Kickstarter, check out how the villainous side of tabletop gaming operates with a wide selection of casual, family-friendly titles.
There are games aplenty which offer players an experience intended to transport them to fantastical, futuristic, or even horrifying settings, but there is also another type of game which tries to perfectly encapsulate feeling grounded in reality. In this particular instance we’re talking about a game called Sweet Spot which attempts to replicate the act of playing a professional game of tennis through the medium of a simple card game. Sweet Spot is a 2-4 player game which pits participants against each other in a deeply strategic game of tennis.
