Lately....

... have my hand in a couple of projects.

  • A co-op game, theme somewhat undetermined but probably in fantasy, based roughly on the green revolution in Iran.  The idea is to network, sabotage, openly fight a wicked kingdom...   It isn't explicitly co-op.  If all the players are captured, the game ends without a winner.  If the king is overcome, the strongest leader becomes king - but each vote earns votes for their deeds (battles, sabotages, etc.) as well as the ability to keep votes from cards in the game.  There are variable player powers and I'm throwing in a potential traitor into the mix as well.  I'm working out details of how to do battles, but it will be an event card driven game like Bindle Rails and Downturn.
  • Saw Bindle Rails get its 23rd rating on BGG - unfortunatey dipped down below 7.  I'd love to see it get 30 ratings.  To help do this, I have been working out details for a few expansions showcasing Gold Rush California, Cuba and perhaps a few other areas.  I'm also deliberating on a "shares" type Bindle Rails incorporating the latest system but creating different decks for the different companies of the time.  Not sure how far it will get.  Still preliminary.
  • Still trying to find time to playtest Downturn.  I got sidetracked by Steam and the kids and I have had a great run with it.  I'm not sure how many more plays they have left in them but I imagine once things die down, I'll have time to try this out more.
