Captain Samuel Bellamy (also known as"Black Sam" Bellamy), an English pirate who operated in the early 18th century, said, "Nations rob the poor under the cover of law. Pirates plunder the rich under the cover of their own courage!" In this game, you'll play as a pirate captain with your crew in search of treasure! The goal is to be as rich as possible, but don't let the lure of gold make you blind. Play your cards smart, and Lady Luck might smile upon you.
French fashion designer best known for his signature high-heeled stiletto shoes, Christian Louboutin, said, "I am very bad at drawing. Seriously. I can draw shoes. That's about it." Drawing is an art form and a talent a few have made into a career. Not to toot my own horn, but I have drawn a damn good stick-person (which no one is willing to pay for). In this game, your artistic skill - present or not - will be tested as you attempt to use a bit of uncooperative string to illustrate a simple word. This is a game full of creativity and hilarity. An artist you need not be, but you best bring your patience.
Exploring dungeons takes time and work. You have to get your party in order, gear up, and then make sure everyone is set to arrive at the dungeon's precipice at the same time. It's a lot like trying to get the kids up, fed, and out to school. Huh... Anyway, in this game, you can put aside all that prepping nonsense and jump right into dungeons deep. Deal a few cards and drop some cubes. BOOM! Instant dungeon! But like all raids into dark places full of nasty beasts, you'll have to have your wits about you and some luck to spend!
English novelist and essayist, journalist and critic, George Orwell (whose real name is Eric Arthur Blair - fun fact), said: "Language ought to be the joint creation of poets and manual workers." In this game, players will work together to put together a series of clues - both seen and unseen - to help each player solve their word puzzle. It's a game that takes communication and teamwork, guessing and deduction, and, most importantly, is specific to each player's vocabulary skills!
One of the United States' most respected former basketball coaches, Dick Motta, said "War is the only game in which it doesn't pay to have the home-court advantage." In this game of war, where the soldiers the players will command are literally thrown and tossed into the warzone, there is no advantage to be gained. Victory is simply a matter of luck and good timing.
French author and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, André Paul Guillaume Gide, said: "There are very few monsters who warrant the fear we have of them." Not the case in this game! The castle overlooking the village is now occupied by evil. Monsters roam the grounds behind the castle's tall walls and livestock is going missing at night. Rumors are circulating and fear is growing among the people. Having enough, the local peasantry is taking matters into their own hands. Grabbing pitchforks and torches, they march to the castle's gates, but will they be ready for what they encounter?
