Video review of Castle Panic!

Monday, October 26th, 2009

Scott Nicholson of www.boardgameswithscott.com fame has just posted a new video review of Castle Panic and it’s fantastic!  We sent the game to Scott hoping he would have the time to review it and we guessed he would probably enjoy it, but this is something else.

Like all of Scott’s reviews, this one is really well done and he covers every part of the game with great detail.  (In fact, I’m going to have to rework the “How to Play” video I’ve been working on because of this!)  The best part though is how much Scott “gets it“. His review really captures the spirit of the game the way we intended it to be played and his excitement is contagious. 

If you’ve never seen one of his reviews before, you’re in for a treat.

Interview with Justin posted

If you’re interested in reading a bit about how Castle Panic came about, you’re in luck. 

The gamers over at Dream with Board Games have just posted an interview we did last week.  It’s a fun read and they asked a lot of good questions about the creation of the game and my thoughts on the hobby business and gaming in general.  Check it out.

Castle Panic – One Cool Thing at Rincon

Friday, October 16th, 2009

Rincon sounds like it was a hoot.  Lots of games, lots of fun and Wil Wheaton thrilling the crowd on Rock Band.  During the con people were interviewed and asked what they thought “One Cool Thing” was at the show. 

The whole video is pretty entertaining (especially former Austin gamer Richard Banana, aka: “Palm Guy“) but at about 7:34 Wil talks about his Cool Thing.

We couldn’t be more flattered.
