Friday the 13th? Please... The only thing we’re afraid of is a bad dice roll that ruins our entire strategy.
Okay, maybe we’re a little bit superstitious. But if the universe is going to throw bad luck our way, we might as well make it a game night! It’s the perfect day to face off against that one friend who always insists they’re “just playing for fun” while they plot your destruction.
Welcome to this week’s Board Game Afterwork!
Use your imagination to piece together your perfect kingdom or just make a beautiful mess. It’s the ultimate creative escape for when you want to avoid all the Friday the 13th spooky nonsense. Thanks to Bruno Cathala and Théo Rivière, the game designers, as well as the publisher, Next Move Games, and of course Mizutismask for the BGA version.
Libertalia – Winds of Galescrest
Ready to sail the skies and plunder your way to the top? It’s a pirate’s life, which is basically the high-seas version of Friday the 13th: everyone’s out to get you, and you’re probably going to betray your best friend for a pile of loot in this revisited and expanded version of Libertalia. No hard feelings, right? A tip of the hat to Paolo Mori, the game designer, to Stonemaier Games, the publisher and to KuWizard and ShaharHarshuv for the port on BGA.
This game is the exact opposite of a Friday the 13th curse. It’s all about finding zen in the chaos, because even when the universe is acting up, your cat’s living their best life. Consider this game today’s official protection charm against bad luck. Let’s roll the red carpet for Oussama Khelifati and Olivier Cipiere, the game designers, as well as the Rebel’s cat lovers, and let’s not forget firgon for the BGA adaptation.
Expect total mayhem in this trick-taking game as you become a daring adventurer heading into perilous quests equipped with dice and a motley crew of mercenaries. Your best-laid plans will probably blow up in your face, especially today. It’s all about outsmarting your friends with a mix of luck and absolute nonsense. Thanks to Pete Wissinger, the game designer, and to Inside Up Games, the publisher. And of course, to _j0hn for the BGA version.
It’s a tower defense card game in which players become the Guardians of the Orchard, a group of brave vegetables who pilot combat robots and defend the Orchard from the invasion of the RabbitZ, a horde of mutant zombie rabbits. Probably safer than playing with ouija boards, but only just. No robots were harmed in the making of this game, we think… A huge thanks to Lorena Gestido and Javier Martínez Gómez, the game designers, and the Rocket Lemon Games team. And thanks to pegoletech for the BGA port.
Let’s not forget King of the Dice and Paladins of the West Kingdom that also made their way to BGA this week.
This is it for this week, enjoy today’s chaos and more to come next week (games, not chaos)!
桌遊下班派對：今天真是幸運日！
13號星期五？拜託…我們唯一害怕的，只有毀掉整盤策略的爛骰運。
好吧，也許我們是有那麼一點點迷信。但如果宇宙真打算把厄運丟向我們，那我們倒不如直接來場桌遊之夜！今天正是跟那位嘴上總喊著「我只是玩玩而已」、背地裡卻策劃著怎麼毀滅你的朋友正面對決的絕佳日子。
歡迎來到本週的桌遊下班派對！
發揮你的想像力拼湊出心目中的完美王國，或者乾脆打造出一片美麗的混亂。當你想遠離13號星期五那些裝神弄鬼的無稽之談時，這絕對是終極的創意避風港。感謝遊戲設計師Bruno Cathala與Théo Rivière、出版商Next Move Games，當然還有打造BGA版本的Mizutismask。
Libertalia – Winds of Galescrest
準備好揚帆翱翔天際，一路劫掠登上巔峰了嗎？這就是海盜的生活——簡直就是公海版的13號星期五：人人都想置你於死地，而在這款重新演繹並擴充的《Libertalia》中，你甚至很可能會為了一堆戰利品背叛自己最好的朋友。別往心裡去，對吧？在此向遊戲設計師Paolo Mori、出版商Stonemaier Games，以及負責BGA移植版的KuWizard與ShaharHarshuv脫帽致敬。
這款遊戲完全是13號星期五魔咒的相反。它的精髓在於混亂中尋得平靜——因為就算整個宇宙都在跟你作對，你家的貓咪依然過著牠最愜意的貓生。就把這款遊戲當作今天抵禦厄運的官方護身符吧！讓我們鋪上紅地毯，熱烈歡迎遊戲設計師Oussama Khelifati與Olivier Cipiere、Rebel出版商的愛貓團隊，當然也別忘了打造BGA移植版的firgon。
準備好在這款吃墩遊戲中迎接徹底的混亂吧！你將化身為一名無畏的冒險者，帶著骰子與一群烏合之眾組成的傭兵團，踏上危機四伏的任務之旅。你那精心策劃的盤算十之八九會當場炸鍋——尤其是在今天。一切全憑運氣加上徹頭徹尾的荒唐鬧劇，來把你的朋友耍得團團轉。感謝遊戲設計師Pete Wissinger與出版商Inside Up Games，當然還有打造BGA版本的**_j0hn**。
這是一款塔防卡牌遊戲，玩家將化身為果園守護者——一群駕駛著戰鬥機器人的勇敢蔬菜，抵禦變種殭屍兔大軍兔子Z的入侵，保衛整座果園。這大概比玩通靈板安全一點，但也只安全了那麼一點點。在製作這款遊戲的過程中沒有任何機器人受到傷害，我們猜……在此大大感謝遊戲設計師Lorena Gestido與Javier Martínez Gómez、Rocket Lemon Games團隊，以及負責BGA移植版的pegoletech。
本週就到此為止，好好享受今天的混亂，下週還有更多精彩內容等著你（是遊戲，不是混亂）！
