Eden Studios has joyously announced the arrival of the Knights of the Dinner Table: HACK! Card Game. After a few delays (I think HACK! was originally expected at GenCon), the game will be shipping from the printer straight to anxious distributors, and should be available in stores just in time

That’s right, Wizards of the Coast has announced plans for Magic: The Gathering Online. Planned to begin dominating the world in Spring 2002, M:TG
You Know, For Kids!
According to ICv2, that goofy Bionicle stuff is actually taking off. Maybe I’m just predisposed to see any new high-concept Lego thing as hopelessly lame. The Upper Deck-produced Bionicle CCG also appeared hopelessly lame, but I didn’t look very closely at it at Origins. Has anyone played it? Also, that
Lost Identities Found, Now Shipping
Looney Labs‘ Origins award-winning card game Chrononauts has a new expansion called Lost Identities, a fixed set of 13 new ID cards (IDs are one of the game’s three win conditions, and the most likely of them in my experience). Chrononauts can get a little bit frustrating when everyone’s familiar

Further compensating for the missed August game of the month, Invisible City Productions has released a second free game for the month of October. This time it’s Dungeon, a randomized hack-and-slash dungeon crawl played with a standard deck of cards. If you’re having trouble waiting for Mage Knight Dungeons to

The Trouble With Harry
Two weeks ago I was all set to write this snarky post about how Richard Garfield had, in record time, become the Paul McCartney of gaming – alternating between Wings-esque abominations of pablum like What Were You Thinking? and Beatles Anthologies of retreaded former glories, like the Harry Potter CCG.

A few more tidbits for ya as a birthday gift (my birthday, not yours). Enjoy. 🙂 In an interview over at Games Unplugged, Vampire creator Mark Rein*Hagen speaks briefly about the new game he’s working on with his new company, Atomoton. Called Zero-Gravity (Z-G), the new game is described as
Blank White Awesomeness
Now this is totally my style: I Want My 1000 Blank White Cards. Who else out there used to set up all of their board games on the floor of the family room at once and just kind of let their Monopoly pieces wander all over? You know you want
News from Mythrole
Mythrole Games, publishers of digitally-distributed analog card games such as Night of the Ill-Tempered Squirrel, will be publishing a full line of D20 material, according to tragically misinformed sources. Mythrole put out a non-confirmation last week. From the press release: Says company owner Tyler Sigman, “we are very pleased to
