Seek the Wolf in Thyself!
At Origins 2013, I saw a lot of demos of a game called Castellan being played and I really wanted to try it out. Try as I may, I could never find an open table with someone there to teach me. It looked like a very simple game, reminding me of that game you play with your kids in restaurants while waiting for your food, connecting the dots and making more squares than your opponent. I was very curious on how they made this into a board game.
System/Setting: Realms of Cthulhu/Achtung Cthulhu An excellent adventure that I worked hard to make a 4 hour session game. I ran it first at RonCon Spring 2014, then MACE West 2014, and then all year in other cons in 2014 until MACE 2014. I submitted my ideas to the publisher and I hope they will…
One game that has really impacted me this year is Spartacus, A Game of Blood and Treachery. Not only am I a huge fan of the series but the game itself is great, whether you like the series or not. It is one of those games that has so many satisfying elements in it that I crave to play it every opportunity I get. However, one of the more disappointing aspects of the game was the player limit. I prefer games that allow for 5 or 6 players and the base game only allowed 4. Enter the Spartacus: The Serpents and The Wolf expansion. Not only does it allow for 5 or 6 players, it brings a lot more to the arena.
