In Nitro Dice, each player takes on the role of 1 of 6 drivers who race the curving streets of the city to see who will be claimed the "best of the best" in the Nitro Circuit. It's a race to the finish but it's more than just going faster than your opponents. This race is going to take as much smarts as it will speed.
Gamewright recently released news that they have been honored with 39 awards for all eight of their 2011 games. Highest honors include Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Seals for City Square Off and GUBS, Dr. Toy’s Top 100 Children’s Products for Mermaid Beach, and Parents’ Choice Gold awards for City Square Off and FlipOut. Impressed? So are we, but we aren't surprised, either.
In PongCano: A Game of Sacrifice...to a plastic volcano, players race to be the first to collect all the PongCano chips, but such an easy task is anything but. Players must bounce a ping-pong ball into a volcano with a small opening in order to claim their prize. Do it correctly, and victory is yours! Skill, a steady hand, and a cool head will win the day, but having a lot of luck certainly wouldn't hurt either.
In Nile DeLuxor, players take on the role of farmers whose prosperity and fate are tightly intertwined with the great river, the Nile. But the river is uncontrollable and wild as it never stops flooding and retreating from the land. A wise player will learn to speculate and anticipate the changes to come. By doing so, they can make important choices that will offer great rewards. Failure to guess correctly will bring ruin.
In Grave Business, the player takes on the role of a necromancer (but not necessarily an evil one) and sends their zombie minions into the night to collect the necessary "components" to build their growing army of the undead and any discarded family heirlooms that might be left in the grave. Resources are limited as well as time. Work is made all the more complicated with outside competition from other necromancers who are digging in the same graveyard. There are only so many plots and zombie parts to go around so what is an enterprising young necromancer to do? Clearly, if you want to be on top, you have to take out the competition!
In Wild Guns, the players take on the role of some of the most lethal and skilled gunslingers to ever walk the dusty ground of the Old West. There deadly aim and firearm mastery is only matched by their cunning to avoid being hit by their opponent's bullets. This casual card game does a great job of getting the players down to business quickly and offering an entertaining and challenging game with light mechanics and fast play.
