Today we're taking a look at the dexterity game full of boasting, challenging, trash talking--Maximum Throwdown, by Jason Tagmire. It's published by Alderac Entertainment Group and features a fair amount of throwing-down--in fact, you could say it's the maximum amount of throwing-down found in a game.
So is Maximum Throwdown worthy of claiming supremacy in the throwdown department? It's time to find out!
Read MoreWait... October? This year is flying by very quickly, but the good news is that means there are a lot of great campaigns that are finally hitting doorsteps everywhere. Now let's talk about some more great campaigns that we're looking forward to seeing on shelves soon!
Dead Drop - Crash Games
This micro game comes from our good friend Jason Kotarski, and is the latest in the Pub Game Series from Crash Games. Dead Drop is a game of deduction and deception. The game features just 13 cards, as players play as spies looking to pick up the "Dead Drop" by deducing and correctly guessing which card is the drop. This is an inexpensive game to get in on, and we'll be reviewing it very soon--it's a LOT of fun! We recommend you back it!
Read MoreWell, things have been a little, ok a lot crazy around here for the past few weeks. I (Jeremiah) had an emergency appendectomy, and spent the better part of about 7-10 on the couch -I don't really remember how long it was... And Scott has spent the last several days out of town. But amidst all of the craziness, we got a spiffy little email from our friends over at Looney Labs sharing with us some cool news!

Today we're looking at Seventh Hero, from Alderac Entertainment Group and designer Kuro. Seventh Hero is a card game of set-collection, bluffing, and risk-management for 3-5 players. Players are attempting to gather six of the seven heroes in the game in order to win--the player becomes the seventh hero.

But before we turn our sights towards this gigantic gathering of gamers, there are a TON of great campaigns on Kickstarter looking to make a place into your game collection! Let's do this!
Read MoreLast week central Ohio saw thousands of gamers descend upon its convention center: Origins Game Fair once again brought the latest and greatest in new games, and gaming experiences! I (Jeremiah) was able to grab the good ol' video camera and head down for a fast and furious trip to Origins last Friday. Here's a look back at what I saw, and who I got a chance to catch up with!
Read MoreLoonacy is a fast-paced, matching, party-ish game from those loonatics over at Looney Labs. You know the ones I'm talking about--the folks who brought us Fluxx, Fluxx the Board Game, and a bunch of other wacky games they claim you can teach in one sentence. So what's so loony about Loonacy? Can you teach the game in one, single, solitary, individual sentence? Only one way to find out...
Read MoreToday we scoop up a serving of moldy atomic buffalo wings globbed with peanut butter, and take aim at "What the Food?", a take-that, throw-down, school-cafeteria-style food-fight game for 2-8 players! (Too many hyphens!)
Should you serve this up on your table? Or leave in on the shelf to rot? Will we keep making terrible food-based word plays? Only one way to find out...
