July 08, 2015/ Jeremiah Isley

A while back we had a chat with the bigwigs at Game Salute because they had just secured the rights to create tabletop games based on the cult classic The Princess Bride. Well I (Jeremiah) received a preview copy of the retail release of one of those games by Matthew O'Malley: A Battle of Wits.

Battle of Wits is a party/bluffing game for up to 10 people. So should you choose the game in front of you, or leave it on the shelf? Let's find out!

Featured Campaign!

Far Space Foundry - Justin Shaffer/Terra Nova Games

Far Space Foundry is a strategic board game for up to four players with a solo version thrown in there as well! You'll be snagging resources from asteroids, refining them and then manufacturing goods. Far Space Foundry is designed by Dan Manfredini and looks like a really slick -and nice to look at- Euro, they're well on their way to funding and have some nice stretch goals in place as well. This is definitely worth a look!

Skyway Robbery - Phillip duBarry/Game Salute

Form a gang, grab some gear, bust gang members out of the brig, and pull off some heists! Skyway Robbery is set in a steampunk aeronautical world as players travel in a sweet zeppelin-looking jobby and try to become the most reputable and rich gangster. This one has been in development for years and it looks like that time has paid off. Check out our interview with designer Phillip duBarry right here, and check back soon for our preview!

Skyway 61 Revisited--An Interview With Philip duBarry

September 03, 2014/ Scott Firestone

Today we’re joined by Philip duBarry, renowned designer of such games as Revolution! and Kingdom of Solomon.

Philip, thanks for joining us. First, tell us a little about yourself.

By day I’m the children’s pastor at my church, a substitute teacher, and a tutor. By night (and sometimes by day, too) I design board games. I am married with four girls and a one-year-old boy. My girls are my #1 playtesters!
