CGI#45: Tales from the Red Dragon Inn, Gen Con & Origins 2023, Railroad Ink, and Button Shy Games
Tales from the Red Dragon Inn by Slugfest Games is a cooperative dungeoncrawl game with more accessible gameplay, a story-driven campaign, and a built-in tutorial.
Plus: breaking new ground at Gen Con, Origins Game Fair returns to full strength, unlocking the charm of physical play with dexterity games, a guide to the many expansions of Railroad Ink, how Button Shy has big plans for their small games, and a FREE print-and-play game: Forest Sky by Button Shy Games. Our readers also discuss the weirdest games in their collection.
This issue features reviews of Vaalbara, Heat: Pedal to the Medal, Dubious, Nimalia, Scram!, Ferret Out, Qawale, and a guest review of Four Corners by Major Fun.
I wonder if Button Shy will be anything like Button Men, from Cheapass Games...?
Thanks as always; keep up the great work
Looking forward to reading this!
Button Shy is a game publisher. With over 100 games published, most of them tiny in wallets.
Looks great, and I can't wait to read it!
I've enjoyed Red Dragon Inn and I'm interested in how this new direction plays out.
Dexterity games are hit or miss with me. I love Crokiniole, but not really into flip games.
It was a good read, thank you!
Looks like another great issue. Excited for the Heat review.
looks awesome
I need a subscription to this.
Awesome!!
Very cool cover!
great coverage
So many new and cool games coming out!
I've tried Railroad Ink on BGA, I'll have to look into the physical versions, I thought it was good.
Looks awesome!
I've never heard of wallet games, what a brilliant idea!
I would love to win these games so I can play with my family. It was a way to bond during the pandemic.
We love playing games! We could use some new different ones to play. Thank you for these giveaways and all of the hard work that is put into them!!
I'm new to all of these forums. I don't know if I am commenting in the right place. Help!
Anyway, I have always wanted to learn how to play Tales from the Red Dragon Inn.
The title alone makes me intrigued.
Thank you!
