As some of you may know, one of our 2012 releases is a new take on classic strategy gaming titled “Sun Tzu’s: The Art of War”. Join the ranks of generals on campaign who relied on games such as Go and Chess to keep their skills sharp while waiting for battle to be joined.

Later this year, you will see rules, and components, and get to read all sorts of interesting behind-the-scenes bits from designers Brad Phillips and Richard James. But for now enjoy this teaser shot of the custom die test sheet, and speculate on what the non-number bits suggest for the game play.

Take care and good gaming!

After two weeks of R&D, the design team has completed the design concept for Nuts. Players will see a top down view of the backyard and ‘tap to join’ the game from one of the corner trees. To start each round, players will have to shake the nuts loose from the trees and, to keep their choices hidden from each others, players will be able to cover over their corner of the board with their hands while they make their selection. The game will focus on a multiplayer hot seat play experience but there will also be a solo and multiplayer online version available as well. You can view six of the screenshots available to the developers here.

Nottingham Wins Design Showdown

admin — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 23:33:22 +0000

Nottingham won the September 2010 Game Design Showdown on BGDF. Based upon the votes of users, it placed first out of the six entries for a Robin Hood themed game. In order for the design to qualify for the showdown, it needed to include a mechanic which ‘steals from the rich and gives to the poor’ and incorporates a number of sub-game aspects to the overall design. Nottingham casts the players as the famous characters in the Robin Hood tales who are fighting against Robin Hood. They want to take from the poor and give to themselves. Unfortunately, the game is constantly draining them of the taxes, tolls and tithes they collect.
