Megan and Daniel Play ________

Megan and Daniel play
Starting next week, and continuing intermittently, Megan and I will share our thoughts on games we play. Not-quite-reviews from an active married couple who love playing all sorts of games. Generally we'll focus on games we actually enjoy, so these will all be pretty positive.

Currently on the docket:

Last Word
Word on the Street
Pandemic
Marrakech
Jungle Speed
Carcassonne
Catan Card Game
ZOMBIES!!!
Race for the Galaxy
3 Stones
Blokus
Rumis

We're curious. What would you like to see in these features?

    What features do you each enjoy? Did you each like it right from the start? Do you each win about the same amount of time? If not, do you use a handicap? Do you use any house rules? Are there certain conditions or moods that lend themselves to this game being played? When do you play it? Do you prefer it as two player or with more? What are your thoughts on it from a visual design perspective? What would your rate it (see boardgamegeek.com for a great set of descriptions for a 1-10 scale)

    Please pardon my rambling, but there are some ideas of the types of things I'd be interested in reading about.

    BTW Chrome seems to hate your commenting system, at least on my machines. :(

    Thanks! I'll be sure to incorporate those points in our reviews.

    RE: Comments: Dang, that's odd considering Google runs Chrome and Blogger.

    We do, too, but there's to much to say about it on its own. We'll probably talk about it in relation to Rumis and Gemblo

    are these games that you and Megan are playing on your own or with a group of people? I'm curious to find some games that Jon and I could play alone and quickly on week nights.

    Actually, something that took longer to play and could be spread out over a whole week would be fun, too.

    A little of both. We play alone and with other couples. We'll definitely cover that.

    Re: Weeklong Play: We actually leave out a turn-based abstract game out in the house. Whenever we have a chance, we'll take a turn and move a little marker to note that it's the other player's turn. Right now we have a game of 3 Stones sitting out by the dining room.

5 Graphic Design and Typography Tips for your Card Game

Image
Chris Farrell of Illuminating Games just wrote a thorough critique of card games setting their body text to be so small that they cannot be read at arm's length, let alone across the table. Here's an excerpt, but the whole thing is worth a read for any would-be card game designers out there. (Myself included.) Break out your copy of the base set of Dominion, and look at the Chapel. This has a text box roughly 3.5cm by 4.5cm. It's got a single line of text. That line of text is 1 (one) millimeter high. 1mm! For me, it's only clearly readable at half an arm's length even in the bright light of day. (...) Compare this to a more sane game like Glory to Rome, where the font size is 2-3 times as large (text is 2mm high, keywords 3mm and usually highlighted). I can generally read Glory to Rome cards across the table, and can certainly see the important keywords. To heap insult upon injury, not only does Glory to Rome have far more legible text than Dominion it also has...

Low-High Dice Game

Image
A dice game inspired by the stock market (and playing lots of Martian Dice). Roll a bunch of dice and choose which sets to keep. Choose your strategy wisely! Stuff You Need Two-to-Six PLAYERS A PENCIL and PAPER to keep score Thirteen standard six-sided DICE How to Play The shortest player takes the first turn. On your turn, first roll all thirteen dice. Several dice will have matching results. These are called SETS. (A single die result is a set, too.) You must choose a set to keep. For example, your first roll results are 111124445555 . The sets are four 1 s, one 2 , three 4 s, and four 5 s. After keeping a set of dice, lock them up in a row. This is called the GOOD TRACK. For example,  you could keep the set of four 1 s, one 2 , three 4 s, or four 5 s . You decide to keep the four 1 s and line them up in your good track. After keeping a set, you may end your turn or re-roll the remaining unlocked dice. When you re-roll, immediately set aside any results tha...

One Thing to Avoid in Game Design

Image
When game designer Paul Peterson was interviewed for the upcoming Titans Series of games from Calliope Games, there was one segment at 1:55 that really caught my attention (emphasis mine): "A couple years ago I was teaching people how to play Guillotine and I hadn't played in a while. The first thing I did was say, 'The first thing you gonna do when you open your game is you look through this deck and you take this card.' I pulled out the Callous Guards card and threw it over my shoulder. Everybody laughed. I said, ' That's the biggest mistake I ever made as a game designer in my life.'" Oof. Those are strong words. What's the big deal? For context, the game Guillotine is all about collecting the heads of French nobles during the revolution. There is only one guillotine, with a line of nobles waiting for their grim fate. On your turn, you play action cards to change the order of the line, then take the Noble card from the front of the ...
