Run, Fight, or Die - A Solo Review

April 23, 2015/ Jeremiah Isley

Yes, I'm calling it a Solo Review instead of a Single-Take Review, and yes, it may have everything to do with seeing Han and Chewie on screen for the first time in over 30 years...

Today I'm taking a look at Run, Fight or Die, a Richard Launius game from 8th Summit and Grey Fox Games.

Run, Fight or Die, is a zombie dice-roller for 1-4 players that gives players three options as you face the oncoming hordes of unpainted hordes of zombie guys and gals. Will you a) run, b) fight, or c) ....wait for it...die? The answer is up to you, and of course, the dice. Should this game run, fight, or die? And what does that even mean? Let's find out!

April 22, 2015/ Jeremiah Isley

One can only imagine the number of emails, tweets, threatening letters, and carrier-pigeon messages that Alderac has received suggesting new factions for the next Smash Up! expansion. We even joined in when we interview designer Paul Peterson (RIGHT HERE!) and suggested a blogger faction... Well, after years of this unsolicited bombardment of intellectual property, AEG is openly asking for your ideas, and giving you a neat easy way to share them!

April 17, 2015/ Scott Firestone

Today we're taking a look at Knot Dice, the new project from Matthew O'Malley. You can check out the Kickstarter campaign right here.

Knot Dice is a set of Celtic-patterned custom dice that includes rules for several different games you can play with the dice. These games range from 1-3 players. But you can add more players with another set of dice. The dice are a great pearly green with each side featuring a different piece of a pattern that interconnects with other pieces of the pattern.

Here's how the games work!
