Dominion changed gaming forever. It created, and simultaneously perfected, a whole new genre: deck-building. Countless games have taken that core mechanism and gone in some unexpected directions. The latest offering is a "microdeckbuilder" called Flip City, from Tasty Minstrel Games and designer Chen Zhifan. So did we flip over the game, or just flip out? Let's see!

You 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.

Well, 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!

Tokyo wasn't enough for the giant monsters--now they want to take a bite out of the Big Apple! 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.
