Wow that was odd. I just wrote an incredibly long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show up. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again.

Anyways, just wanted to say great blog!

Comment on What’s New with Dice Hate Me Games by Paul Owen

Yes, this announcement was great news, a real trifecta for DHMG. I haven't played T.C. Petty's VivaJava: The Coffee Game: The Dice Game, but I love its predecessor VJ:TCG, and have heard only good things about its dice-driven descendant. I've had the opportunity to try out both Brew Crafters and Belle of the Ball. I'm enamored of both games for entirely different reasons. BC is a meaty worker-placement in which Ben Rosset has introduced some really nice innovations that make it a top-notch game. And as you wrote, Daniel Solis's BotB is an accessible and smooth card game, a real pleasure to play. It's a big year for Chris K. and DHMG!

I think the “big” thing in gaming will be small (even micro) games. Love Letter and Coup made a big splash last year, proving there’s a market for this. I think portable games with quick playtimes, simple rules, and social gameplay are going to be hot (and more prevalent) in 2013, especially as TableTop and other means continue to push hobby games into the mainstream.

Intrigue is a 45min trick-taking card game for 3-4 spymasters.

Each player cares about 3 of the 6 factions in the game, sharing 1 in common with each other player. So you have to work with your opponents to score. The ability to read and manipulate others—like a real spymaster—is crucial to success.

The entire deck (8 agents of each of the 6 factions) is dealt out to all players. You’ll have a bunch of enemy agents in your hand, so knowing when to go for the victory is no more important than knowing when to take a dive. It’s all about manipulating agents (and players) to serve your greater purpose.

Each plot (trick/round) players deploy an agent to the field twice, which is just enough time for some really tricky plays. Then, players redraft one card from any of those agents allowing you to craft your hand as the game goes on.

It plays very differently from other trick-taking card games. Further cementing the theme, there is a deck of scheme cards and players will choose a secret scheme they’re trying to accomplish for each plot.

I would be happy to talk more about it with you, Tom.

Hey TC,
I’m glad you made it over to comment. I’m glad you were able to get some good feedback. Just looking at the clips and photos I can tell John did a fantastic job setting everything up and running it smoothly.
It will be fun to see where all the games seen at Unpub3 are in 6 months and a year.
Thanks for stopping by.
Tom
