The New Year is starting out strong, with some great looking casual games hitting Kickstarter—from a light card game about space colonies to a cooperative memory game with dogs.
Jump claims, steal gems, and hope your stash doesn’t blow up in your face! Ya Blew It! is a push-your-luck game of dice rolling and set collection from Wonder Forge.
A new game has been announced from the designer of Wingspan, ThunderGryph and Lucky Duck have entered a distribution partnership, and Thunderworks Games has announced their next Roll Player Adventures.
In this interview, game designer Joseph Chen shares his design process and the challenges he faced while bringing the recent Kickstarter success Fantastic Factories to market.
