Keyforge - What's a Quadrillion!?

Keyforge - What's a Quadrillion!?

Some of the biggest news to come out of Gen Con is from Fantasy Flight, and one of the biggest, most epic, colossal  names in game design: Richard Garfield. (He designed this little card game called Magic the Gathering, maybe you've heard of it?) The title I'm talking about today is Keyforge. Keyforge: Call of the Archons (to be accurate), is a 1 vs. 1 card game where players are racing to forge keys (get it? Key.... Forge?) that unlock the vaults of an artificial work at the center of the universe... Ok, ok, that’s a paper thin theme, but what's fascinating, mind-blowing, and seemingly near impossible here is the fact that the game features decks, that are completely, 100% unique. As the Fantasy Flight website says "What this means for KeyForge is that every deck in existence is utterly unique and different from every other deck."

Archmage Gets a Street Date! -Update!

Archmage Gets a Street Date! -Update!

Today we got word that Starling Games' much anticipated Archmage finally has a street date. The game will be available at retailers on Sept. 28, 2018. This is of course post Gen Con, which is a bit of a disappointment (I'm sure Starling is not excited about it either!), but we at least have a date to look forward to, and from what we've seen of Archmage it should be worth the wait!

Are you a backer? Are you a curious bystander? Want to see a little more about Archmage? We interviewed the designer Tim Heerema at Origins and he showed off the game on Facebook live. Read on to see that video and more!!
