Circle Shards at The Game Crafter

The Game Crafter is pleased to announce that we’ve worked out a new process for producing Circle Shards. In this new process, the shards are punched out into slugs rather than individually. The player will then punch the shards out of the slugs.

Other than the shards coming on slugs, you’re probably wondering what difference this will make for you as a game designer. There are two main differences:

Cadence - Road Racing Championship.png

Hey everyone,

So about a month ago, I saw this contest going on on BGG:
http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1211499/18-card-microgame-contest/page/1

The contest has one big limitation and that's it: Make a game that has 18 cards(no more no less) and no components other than that. Is it extremely difficult to make a game with just 18 cards? Well, apparently, its easy; the contest already has 75+ entries. My game 'Cadence - Road Racing Championship' will also be included in that.

V For Victory!: Bases and Strongholds

Sun, 11/30/2014 - 18:06 — questccg

Well I have concluded that I am interested in the OLD, Vintage pieces used by Monopoly:

I only need 10 hotels (Red) and 6 houses (Green). I like these better than the plastic versions (found in the newer version of the game) because of the colors. I think the Red Hotels work pretty good as Nazi Strongholds and the Green Houses work pretty good as Ally bases.

Back to those darn dueling wizards

Last we left our hero he was distracted from his broken wizard dueling game by a game design contest and a pending submission. (see: the last several posts)

Now that these things are dealt with its time for him to revisit his favorite broken game; Order of the Wand!!!

V For Victory!: Early design

Sat, 11/22/2014 - 15:34 — questccg

Recently *waiting* for news about "Tradewars - Homeworld" had got me to work on "M.I.A." (Working title). And so I had been inspired to create a NEW "mash-up" which would be based on these three (3) games:

  1. Pandemic
  2. Risk
  3. Clue

These are VERY POPULAR game titles and mostly everyone knows the last two (2) and Pandemic is known to most board gamers (with 36781 votes on BGG: www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30549/pandemic).

Legendary Souls: About the Software

Thu, 11/20/2014 - 20:20 — questccg

I have been reading up on AndEngine and see all the awesome games people design. Personally I have a background in Software Systems. I'm good coding with things like databases and servers. So on this Android project, I am stretching my experience - A LOT!

custom printed 3/4" chits are now available!

Wed, 11/19/2014 - 19:06 — The Game Crafter
3/4" chits are now available at The Game Crafter!

3/4” chits have been one of our most popularly requested printed components, and we’re pleased today to announce Small Circle Chits! They are circular measuring 3/4” across and come 150 to a sheet. They are printed both sides full bleed. You can get a sheet of these for $9.49, or just over 6 cents each chit.

In order to keep costs low and improve handling they are cut into 10 slugs and left in the slug for the customer to punch out. Because of this they require a bit larger box (not a tuck box) such as any of our pro boxes, or the medium game box.

Download the templates and get started. Enjoy!
