A lot of different games talked about this week, including a number of acquisitions. Shakespeare said, “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” I’m just one of those players.
Cartographers Heroes launches on Kickstarter today, so let’s check out this new version of a great flip and draw and see if the updates to the maps take you to your destination or have you drive into a lake.
Douglas Adams said it best in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: “Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.” Definitely meant to write up a post yesterday, definitely managed to forget that yesterday was Monday.
Digital bullet dodging and abstract thinking combined with cute but mean animals and monsters. A little bit of everything this week.
I’m a big fan of roll and write games. They’re light, quick, and offer a lot of options to players. Flip and draw games are similar, using cards instead of dice. Does Cartographers stand out on the sprawling field of games, or does it simply blend into a fold and disappear?
