I have seen how long a game can take to get published (if it ever gets
published). I am seriously curious if anyone feels strongly about a
self/un-published "diamond in the rough" waiting for a Z-man or other
game publisher to come.
RULES:
1) Please mention someone elses' game. Don't self promote in the list; if you must, promote your game in the comments.
This is a great game, well worth downloading. I guess
it's a bit too complex for a major publisher to pick up which is a
shame. But I would urge you to look at it and have a go.
Disclaimer:
the designer is a friend of mine so I am biassed! However, other
designer friends would agree that I am more than happy to trash their
games if I don't like them, so you can rest assured that this comment
is genuine.
Yes, I do too.... that one even won
the microgame design award I think. I just really like the theme of
ON!TGT! and I think some of the mechanisms are really neat, and fit the
theme well.
This is a new game by a new game designer. In fact it
is his first game and it is self published. I was very pleased when my
copy arrived in the mail and I opened it to find quality design with
quality components. My wife and I played a couple of quick games and
were very impresses; we look forward to more plays with more players.
This has lots of replay value.
John's first entry into the
games market has certainly made an impression on me and I will be
closely watching his other releases.
I traded for a copy of this from the creator. It's
self-published; this does show, though the components aren't terrible
either. The cards are of good quality, though the game board is lacking
a bit.
Anyway, this game will obviously appeal to those that
loved the hilarious 'Snakes on a Plane', but there's also a decent game
here as well; I think many would enjoy it even if they didn't like the
movie. There's a pretty good balance between choosing to save valuable
cards for when they're needed and using as many cards as possible (you
redraw up to 5 every turn, so unused cards are sort of wasted actions).
Worth checking out, and I'd recommend it. I rate it around a 7 after 5 plays.
