OgreCave reviews – Nile & Knock Down, Drag Out

NileOur latest new reviews come from Demian, who has tried his hand at a pair of recent card games – several hands, actually. First he describes Minion Games’ Nile, an agriculturally themed game done in a classic style. Then Demian holds no punches in his review of the wild western brawl card game, Knock Down, Drag Out by Interaction Point Games. If you’re craving a dust-up, but aren’t looking forward to bruised knuckles and lost teeth, you’d do well to check this game out.

OgreCave reviews – WEGS Redux, Dice Rule!

Dice Rule!As sometimes happens, one of our recent review targets has been updated, and Demian is on the case. As proof, he’s taken a look at two recent additions to the Wickedly Errant Game System from Gamewick Games. First, WEGS: Old Skool Redux tweaks and adds to the core fantasy RPG system, improving on the original edition. Then we hear about Dice Rule!, which is an enhancement more than an expansion, but certainly worth checking out.

OgreCave reviews – 7 Ate 9, Super Circles, Third-World General

7 Ate 9To help keep us up to date on the mass of card gaming goodness available these days, Demian has sent over his thoughts on 7 Ate 9 and Super Circles (both from Out of the Box), and on Third-World General (Battle Bunker Games). As it turns out, at least one of these failed to fully convey its “goodness” to him, while another was selected as part of OgreCave’s Christmas Gift Guide 2009. We trust you’ll figure out which is which.

OgreCave review – Strange Aeons 2

Strange Aeons 2Demian has been busy looking over Strange Aeons 2, the recent Call of Cthulhu adventure collection from Chaosium. He’s prepared a review for us, which you should read. Or if not, you can read our other reviews. So the gist of this is, you’ve got reading available to you. You’re welcome.

Seriously, when there’s an adventure called “Three Days of Peace, Music & Tentacle Love” – I kid you not – how can you not be intrigued?

OgreCave review – Zombie Dice

Zombie Dice cupWhat goes better with a dice game than brains and shotgun blasts? That’s right, we’re talking about Zombie Dice, one of the new releases from Steve Jackson Games that puts players in the role of a hungry zombie (is there any other kind?). Lee has thrown the bones for a while and chased down his share of tasty humans, and lets us know just how much game is in that dice cup. Have a look at his review, or browse our long list of previous reviews in the review index.

OgreCave review – Giants

GiantsSometimes you find a game that speaks to you, and really hits that sweet spot between strategic play and rewarding fun. For OgreCave reviewer Demian, Giants is one of those “sweet” games, forcing players to juggle resources – and even work together at times – to get those giant statues built and score the most points. Have a look at his review to find out what makes this Asmodee release from last year a great choice to add to your collection.

OgreCave review – Cthulhu Dice

Steve Jackson Games knew all too well: dice and Cthulhu make a tempting combination for many gamers. At just $5, you probably have friends who’ve already given in and picked up a set or two of this recent game release, if only for the sweet Cthulhu die. But how is the game itself? Demian gives us the short-but-sweet answer in his review, after which you may resume your hunt for a glow-in-the-dark set.

Let’s talk some more about the Dresden Files RPG

What’s amazing is how much difference some room makes. I’ve grown accustomed to reading games on digest-sized pages or not much bigger; a full-sized book gives rules text and (crucially) examples the opportunity to be next to each other. It’s a small thing, but it really makes a text easier to get into your head. (It’s a bit unfair, this thing of reviewing the layout and the reading experience. Some days I’m just in a thick mood and I’m not going to be able to comprehend anything. I have the impression that the text in DFRPG v1: Your Story is just the right balance of getting-to-the-point and spicing-things-up to get through my thick old skull, but maybe I just got lucky. To make matters worse I read most of it on my new iPod, so this is hardly objective data: maybe I was just mesmerized by the shiny.)

OgreCave review – Adaptoid

As the holiday gift shopping season closes in on us, OgreCave continues to offer insight on worthwhile game products. To that end, Lee has provided his review of Adaptoid by nestorgames. This abstract strategy board game is thematically similar to Ursuppe/Primordial Soup in that little critters are growing and attacking each other, but Adaptoid is a simpler game, and much quicker. Read on to learn what Lee thought of it, and stay tuned later this week for more gift suggestions from our ninth annual OgreCave Christmas Gift Guide.
