The Captain is Dead - Now on Kickstarter!

Tonight at 6pm US Central time, The Game Crafter is launching its second Kickstarter campaign. The Captain Is Dead. As with our last campaign, we have decided to do another bundle, this time with 3 large games rather than 8 tiny games. You get 3 big games for $99, including shipping! But if you don’t want the big bundle, you can back just one or two of the games as well.

Live chat tonight with Phil Kilcrease about 5th Street Game Design Challenge!

Now, how about the players were in a place more exiting than a house?
How about an alley... or riverside mountains... or a mansion? How about... all three? The three most thrilling and exiting places for this situation to ever take place!
Well, they're better than Disneyland.
the criminal team have stolen cotten candy from mickey. the cop team enters from the ferous wheel. There is a brutal shootout at the carrousel. Seems like both the teams were already sitting on it.

Can we define "Game mechanic?" Not Really.

if a team of cops and a team of criminals were in the same house... they didn't know their opponents were... the only time they did, they would be in a shootout... both teams with strong weapons, cops trying to kill the criminals, criminals trying to escape...
Yeah... basically, it's intense.
unless they both are in different houses but they think they are in the same house.
man, now that would be quite a show!

Theocracy

Thu, 05/22/2014 - 03:38 — Masacroso

Theocracy is a variation of goofspiel with some tweaks. You represent a lineage of priest-kings that must try to be the more powerful word at the end of the game by having the biggest amount of eternal memory.

COMPONENTS: 4 dice, 4 believer cards per player and 5 power cards per player (valued from 1 to 5).

RULES FOR TWO PLAYERS:

GAME STRUCTURE: players named First and Last that alternate in each round (the last will be first).
