This year has been amazing. I've played a ton of new games. VivaJava: The Coffee Game is getting published (in 2012) and the Kickstarter campaign is nearly upon us. Good 'Ol Punchin' Planes was spawned and is available now on The Game Crafter. Flummox, by my very supportive friend John Moller, is getting published (in 2012) and the Kickstarter campaign is creeping up quickly. Carnival was released upon the world and had an extremely successful Kickstarter campaign.
So, I created the aforementioned podcast, with my friend Tim Hing, to kind of usher in the new year give my top picks for last year. Which, honestly, is poised to be the best year of my increasingly adult life. It's a Best and Worst List that is filled with surprise, disappointment, and awesomeness!
Stay tuned for more VivaJava news in the coming days and weeks as we approach our mid-january Kickstarter.com kick-off date! And thanks to everyone (real life and twitters) who helped to make this a year that I will remember until the Alzheimer's gets too bad and I forget it.
--------some quick things that were cut out of the podcast due to technical errors...
>> Tim & I both thought that Darrel Louder's game Compounded was one of the best games we'd played in 2011, and it's not even completed yet.
>> Tim listed every Martin Wallace game ever created and said it was the best game ever.
>> More love for Paris Connection, and a mention of Colorado Midlands, Glen More, Fresco, Macao...
And Finally... I'll be at the Unpub 2 Event in Dover, DE on Saturday, January 14th. VivaJava will be there and so will Carnival and Flummox and Compounded and all your favorite new designers and publishers. Make the trip, it'll be worth it.
Happy New Year!
I approve this post!
