Post Unpub Mini Update
Greetings from Slightly Offensive Games! The Unpub Mini event went well, with Outflank and Shyft seeing play. Just as important I tried out four other unpublished games: Pinball Showdown by Shoot Again Games (https://sites.google.com/site/shootagaingames2/home), Complicated Board Game the Card Game by (http://www.offcutgames.com/), Toon Trubble and a Robot game who I took a picture of, but sadly can’t remember the name of… Nina played a game called Metalfest (https://www.facebook.com/Metalfestgame/) that she enjoyed, and won! We also saw Lost Cog demoing Rampaging Jotunn (https://www.facebook.com/RampagingJotunn/) which is going on Kickstarter in just a few weeks!
Tuesday was another session of Tabletop Simulator playtesting (Tuesday night at 8PM Eastern, look for us in rooms labeled BGD!). Having demoed Outflank (with a great deal of success), I tried to get Shyft together. It saw the table, just a bit too late for play. Still, I got to watch a game of Huts (http://zintis-may.squarespace.com/), which saw revisions from the previous week, an interesting two player tower defense game with moving defensive characters, and a monster building game.
This weekend I’m looking to play and playtest. On Saturday, I’m going to see my friends at Cardboard Edison for a game day. Not sure if I’ll get any playtests in, but it’s good to play published games as well as prototypes, and then on Sunday I’m looking at Meetups. Board Games NJ is hosting one at Menlo Mall in Edison and Princeton Board Games on the Casual has one at McCaffery's in, you guessed it, Princeton.
