Skull Tales: Full Sail! ~ Kickstarter
An exclusive look at the prototypes in action ~
GrogHeads Newsdesk, 23 May 2018
The guys over at Eclipse Editorial have an exploding Kickstarter that’s reeling in pledges like a pirate chases booty.
The Skull Tales: Full Sail! pirate-themed boardgame mixes a combination of naval adventures at sea with individual actions ashore, and crew & ship management in between. As of now, there’s over 3400 backers that have pledged almost $400,000 toward the game, including a couple of our own GrogHeads.
We’ve got an exclusive look at the game in action with some of the printing press prototypes, thanks to the guys at Eclipse, and Draco Designs.
GrogHeads Reviews 7 Wonders Mobile Edition
The tabletop favorite packs up on the go for your phone ~
Brant Guillory, 26 January 2018
My love for 7 Wonders is pretty well-documented. My biggest gripe with it has always been that it’s pain to pull multiple people together for a game session, because the game plays pretty poorly with only two people (and hence the creation of 7 Wonders: Duel). But if you wanted to play the original as a digital game, without having to drag up three friends, clear a table, and shuffle a bunch of cards, you were stuck. There was a really crappy, borderline-illegal Game of Thrones/7 Wonders mashup that you could get through the Amazon app store, but that was it.

What’s the ’80s tie-in to today? ~
Brant & Jim, 15 December 2017
Lots of psionics, literary references to your gaming, an early Ravenloft ad, tracing character sketches, and a nice tie-in to today’s storytelling.

Brant & Jim, 8 December 2017
Tank-hunting, Stackpole talks altered reality, magic beans, and a lot of low-level modules, plus dragon kingdoms, The Princess Ark, and colorful photos of minis.
Don’t worry, there’s plenty more where this one came from – there’s 194 issues still to go!
