Read MoreYou read that right. When I (Jeremiah) went to Origins I had a chat with Blaise of Feels Right Design, and he slid me a copy of Poop the Game. A game that he designed with his son that's goal is to be a fun, simple, quick playing game for all ages.
So is Poop the Game worth fishing out, or should you flush it down? Or should I stop with the poop jokes already?
Let's find out!
Read MoreWhile at Origins this summer, Jeremiah met up with the fine folks of Fireside Games, since then they've prepared to release their next big thing, and that big thing is The Village Crone.
The Village Crone is a game for 1-6 players who will play as witches trying to become the village crone for the town of Wickersby. In order to do that you'll have to score 13 points (because... well).
So is The Village Crone a keeper, or should you turn it into a newt? Let's find out!
Read MoreWell, if you've listened to our latest podcast you'll know these Kickstarter previews are becoming a rarity here on ToG. Nevertheless, we're excited to share this preview of a game coming to Kickstarter from our good friend Jason Kotarski and Green Couch Games.
Avalanche at Yeti Mountain is a race game for 2-5 players--and yes, there's a solo variant. The goal of the game is to be the first skier down the mountain. Or at least the last skier standing, because, as the name would imply, there's an avalanche heading your way! And to make things worse you happen to be testing some sweet new jet-powered snow skis that cause the avalanche to move faster and faster... Oh, and there's a yeti chasing you.
So should you run from the game altogether, or just try to keep away from that yeti?! Let's strap on our rocket-powered skis and hit the slopes!

King of New York is the sequel to the smash hit King of Tokyo, from IELLO Games, and designed by Richard Garfield. It's a dice-rolling, knock-down, drag-out battle for giant-monster supremacy, for 2-6 players.
