Board Games
Field of Honor Card Game
Using a standard deck of cards, Jim Wallman’s Field of Honor is:
a simple two player card game that is an abstract depiction of two armies facing each other on the battlefield. It can either be played as a simple two player card game, or as a sub-game to a more complex wargame � say a campaign where you wish to resolve minor battles without resorting to setting out model soldiers.
Blankout Roll and Write Game
Blankout is a free roll and write game in which players try to fill up a grid with tetomino shapes. A roll of a die determines which shape players must use, but the shapes can be rotated to fit on the grid. The last player who can still fit a piece in, tetris-like, is the winner.
The Shores Of Tripoli Kickstarter
I was happy to be a playtester on this project. It’s a great game that’s reminiscent of Twilight Struggle. As a solo game, it’s a hoot. I recommend it. I backed it myself, even though I spent considerable time constructing the print and play.
A photo of my playtest version is below. The three stack blocks are frigates. The two stacks are sloops. The singles are armies.
Cold War Naval Battles
Cold War Naval Battles is a free print-and-play version of the classic Modern Naval Battles card game. We played the heck out of MNB back in the day.
