Dueling samurai. Who doesn’t like dueling samurai? What if it’s a six-samurai, free-for-all battle? Today, Fairway previews the upcoming Kickstarter game: Showdown! A game based on an original Western-themed game, Shootout! He does a bonus review of that one too.
The smell of fresh cut grass and well-watered gardens. Large bushes in the shape of Tyrannosaurus Rex. Errr… yep. That’s just a normal day in the life of Fairway: horticultural artist extraordinaire. Or at least, that’s his favorite tiles in the game Topiary by Fever Games and by designer Danny Devine.

It’s automatic…It’s systematic…It’s hydromatic…It’s Street Rod by Gaudete Games!

In episode 59, we go scavenging for food, fuel, and ways to stay alive in the 2-6 player game Maximum Apocalypse from Rock Manor Games.
Becoming a Shogun is no easy feat. To be the best, you have to show your worth, and what’s worth more than land and bridges in the early 1600s? In Martial Art, you are fighting your opponents for claim to the lands and bridges. Each land and bridge is worth points, and the first to twelve land points (or three bridge cards) wins Martial Art.
