Viking See-Saw review

Viking See-Saw

 

this week we take a look at Viking See-Saw and some kickstarter games that look like they might be awesome.

Sometimes the simplest games are the ones we play the most. Viking See-Saw is a new game from Itten Games and game designer Dr. Reinerkunitia. I’m a big fan of this Japanese boardgame company. They make beautiful small games that are deceptively simple and surprisingly fun. Viking See-Saw is the first game from their new Funbrick series of games. 

Itten has realeased 5 funbrick games on kickstarter and so far, an additional 4 funbrick games on their website. After playing Viking See-Saw I’m keen to get my hands on the rest of the series. All of the funbrick games are very simply, very fun, and fit in a very small box.

 

 

Itten’s website is in English and Japanese and they have a whole bunch of other games that look amazing. Not just the funbrick series!

There are also copies on ebay, but so far nothing on Amazon or gamology.

 

 

We also talked about the newest game for the TEBURU system that is currently crowd funding on Gamefound. It looks really cool and I’m very excited about the digitally enhanced gameplay of TEBURU. Go to the campaign using the link below.

Rhino Hero Super Battle

Sometimes the things you suspect you won’t enjoy turn out to be the things you enjoy the most. For example, lots of people think PB&J is gross without even trying it, but their wrong. I never wanted to play Rhino Hero Super Battle because I didn’t like the yellow box. How silly was I. This isn’t a game from kickstarter but it is easily one of the best kids/family games I’ve played. 5 out of 5! I guess you really can’t judge a game by its box. In other words, everybody should at least try PB&J. LOL! Also, we talk a bit about what’s currently on kickstarter that looks good or interesting. I found 3 games currently on kickstarter that I would buy if I had infinite money and space. Actually, if I had infinite money and space I would probably buy a bout two dozen kickstarter games every week. LOL

Beast Kickstarter Board Game review

 

In this fortnight’s podcast episode of Hot Game Magnet, we do a review of the Kiickstarter Board Game: Beast, our latest favorite game from Kickstarter.

Hidden Movement is one of the most thematic mechanics in board gaming. Essentially, there is just something about sneaking around the game board and springing traps on your opponent that really sucks you into the fantasy world of the board game.

Beast by Studio Midhall is a perfect fit for this mechanic. Basically, I can’t say enough how fun it is to skulk around the shadows of a primordial forest as an immense mythological monster. Indeed, it is very satisfying to see your opponent struggle to figure out your whereabouts before you strike. It is almost as satisfying as when you are playing as a hunter and manage to smite the beast.

In this fortnights board game review, we review our newest favorite board game from Kickstarter: BEAST by Studio Midhall. While getting board games in the post from Kickstarter is super fun, so is playing them. Listen to our podcast review of this really awesome game by clicking the player below.
