Recap of "Bridge Troll" Release Event

Mon, 07/06/2009 - 00:21 — compman

Bridge Troll - which was recently published by Z-Man Games - was designed by Alf Seegert (one of the members of the Board Game Designers Guild of Utah - of which I am a member) and the artist was Ryan Laukat (also a member of the BGDG). Since I'm the manager of Game Night Games, I organized a special "Release Party" for the game at the store that was held this past Saturday (July 4th). I posted a short recap of the event over on BGG. Here's the link:

game development

Is it necessary to have a game published? I want to create a game for dementia patients and offer it for sale on my web site. When I'm finished I'd like to get it copywrighted. Is this ok? And, finally, if I don't go through a publishing house, what steps do I take to get my idea manufactured? Thanks for your time in answering my questions.

Downfall: Crystal Souls

So I love board games because they give you the opportunity to sit around with friends and have real human interaction; whereas, video games are equivalence to texting. There is absolutely no human interaction, you can say and do what every you want with very little consequence or social awkwardness.

So looking for a board game with real depth I have ruefully found that most big and epic board games are full of filth. (Filth is defined as women fighting through dungeons wearing nigh to nothing.

We're please to blog that our first game, Ogre Castle, will be released on July 1st.

In Ogre Castle, three players become knights invading a castle in search of treasure, while a fourth player becomes the Ogre, owner of the castle and the treasure.

Can three knights plunder the gems from a monster's lair and escape with their lives?

Can one ogre defend his castle and protect his treasures from home invaders?

Magic spells, heated combat, and villainous treachery await you in this family board game of fantasy adventure.

Now What???

So. Here's my story...
I've invented a game that needs you to make it happen.

This game has been played for years at our home. There is a fierce following of Tealio Players who have challenged others for everything from a stiff drink to a weekend at their shore house!

It is truly an addicting board game. What makes it so unique is that it is very easy to learn. The average time is 5 minutes or less. It is fast paced and addicting! As you slowly master the game and continue to play you will get better at learning the strategies needed to beat your opponent.

To reveal or not to reveal

As I come up with game concepts, my first reaction is to share the idea with anyone/everyone. Then human nature gets the best of me (and perhaps past experiences), and I have a tendency to hold the cards to my chest (haha) and wait until a project is relatively complete before mentioning any portion at all, save those I'm using as a resource.

But, as I continue to browse the BGDF, I find the level of trust is much higher here. I should mention that I understand that my ideas aren't unique. ;)

How do you deal with this conundrum? Do you prefer to share? Or not at all?

No Origins for me

Sun, 05/31/2009 - 10:28 — John Szalay

It was a tough decision but I've decided to skip out on Origins this year. I had been looking forward to play-testing my Chaos Effect board game as well as my Pure Fantasy RPG engine. Money issues would make it an irresponsible trip though since I also have a three week trip to Japan in July. I guess I'll use what little money I had saved up for spending on games and pick up a new Nintendo DSi (with a game) for the long plane trip.

Chaos Effect board game

Sun, 05/31/2009 - 10:26 — John Szalay

The rules and card effects for my Chaos Effect board game have been semi formalized into something I'm pretty comfortable with. Now I just need to get a prototype board and some cards made up.

Unfortunately the over-sized B&W printer at the local Staples has been broken for over a month so I can't get the board printed out. There aren't many other options to go to here in Kentucky without having to drive clear across town.

The cards I'll print up on my own printer (when I get a new USB cable for it) and then glue to the front of playing cards and put into CCG card sleeves.
