This Week’s Feature Game: Downforce
Downforce is the result of three great game designers crashing together to make a great racing game. Rob Daviau (creator of games such as Pandemic), Justin D. Jacobson (co-designer of games such as Return to Dark Tower), Wolfgang Kramer (co-designer of games such as El Grande) team up like the Voltron of games design to make a racing game that also features auction, betting and bluffing – i.e. three of my favourite game mechanics!
Quick to play for up to 6 people, it should be ideal for Tabletop Tuesday, so race on down and join us for your chance to win a copy just by playing it on the evening.
Last Week’s Feature Game: The Lord of the Rings Adventure Book Game
Get in pesky Hobbitses, we going to Mount Doom! Players of The Lord of the Ring Adventure Book are tasked with recreating the story of the popular books and movies by taking the One Ring to be destroyed! Travel from the Shire to the fires of Mordor in this cooperative campaign game with a really cool board in the form of a book that plays out over 8 chapters.
Should be a popular game that makes for a fun evening – despite the pesky Hobbitses and old aged wizards! It will also be on St George’s Day, so lets try not to get distracted from our main quest by fighting dragons!
Please note that the bar has moved location (from Dalston) and is now nearer Stoke Newington station.
