Steve Jackson, Ogre Designer's Edition

Well Steve just made it to the top of the Kick Starter club for Board Games. Way to go!

Ogre Kick Starter

As I type this, Steve Jackson's Ogre Kick Starter Designer's Edition is the most successful board game project ever, making over $866k.

I opted for the $150 level.  There is still 4 hours left to join in the fun.  Check it out.

Ogre Kick Starter

Steve Jackson has done something pretty awesome. He is using KickStarter to help make his new upcoming Ogre Game a real winner.  As of right now the KickStarter project has raised over $185 thousand dollars...That's right over 185K.  Seeing this number actually floored me and seeing what is going to be included will floor just about anyone who is an Ogre fan.

GO checkout the Ogre Kickstarter project and see all the wacky stuff being added to the game.

Steve Jackson Games, 30th Anniversary, Zombie Dice, Cthulhu Dice

I was lucky enough to attend Steve Jackson Games 30th Anniversary celebration at Tribe Comics and Games in Austin, Texas.  I have never met Steve and I didn't even realize he lived here in Austin, Texas.  The celebration involved meeting Steve of course, playing lots of Steve Jackson Games, eating cake and even partaking in a old fashion costume contest.

There were two dice games that I got to test out.  The games are more what I would consider beer and pretzel games.  The first is called Zombie Dice.  The objective is to acquire brains.  Yes I said braaains.  The first person to get 13 brains wins.  The game comes with 3 different sets of dice.  The game can be played with 2 or more players.   Each game takes 10 to 20 minutes, and can be taught in a single round.  There is also a free iPhone Zombie Dice app of the game.  Here is a pdf of the Zombie Dice rules.  The second game I played was called Cthulhu Dice.  I will get a review up later this week.
