We’re off to see the Wizard!

Just got my Demo Copy of Oz Fluxx in the mail. Looks really cool and has a great theme to it. 25 promo cards to give out to everyone who I teach, a poster and teaching playmat, and a special coin for the official launch of the game on March 23rd. If you run a game store in Northeast Ohio or know of a store that wants someone to come by and teach games, hand out promos, and bring in business, please let me know!

I’ll be teaching Incan Gold, What’s My Word?, and Pastiche tonight at Recess Games in the Great Lakes Mall in Mentor. Come on by, bring your friends, and check out the games! Incan Gold is a game about everyone running into the temple and playing a game of chicken: Should you go farther into the temple and try for more treasure, or do you run before something bad happens and you lose all of your gains for the round? What’s My Word? is a 2 player word game that plays a lot like the puzzle game Mastermind, but with 26...
