Description

Author's blurb:

June's 1-Page Encounter title, Good Knight, lets players engage in a game of cat and mouse across a city.

Every night, starting at sundown, a figure has been breaking into homes, raiding taverns, and confronting the denizens of Slumberton and putting them to sleep. To date, nothing has been reported stolen but the winter months approach and they townfolk have things to do!

Quotes (from this video)
  • Uh my kids and I do a 24-hour game making day once a year.
  • Well, why don't we have a day where we make board games? I said, 'And then we treated it like a like a big party.'
  • Yes. Yes. Absolutely. It was and then on top of it they got to stay up as long as they wanted as long as they produced they had to create and play test a full board game that they would make.
  • So, Excalibur, Roth, uh, Jump Masters, and the new game that we're working on with Chip Theory, with Neon Knight. So, four games that I've made on a Saturday with my boys.

Quotes (from this video)
  • One thing I liked about Lorcana is that it is a race to to points rather than a race to reducing your opponent's life to zero.
  • I love the Star Wars theme.
  • There's no resources to manage. It's just saying, I declare one of these factions and I play all cards with that faction.
  • I think this is a really neat space.
  • the dice in Dungeon Dragon Dice, they are stunning. Like, they're really, really beautiful.
  • opening up packs on a daily basis.
  • KeyForge has one of the coolest mechanisms I think in any game.
  • one of the things I think is particularly clever about Good Knight is that you actually get to see you almost certainly see your entire deck of cards when you play it.
  • Rolling Realms Redux even though they have the same playing field.
  • Marvel Snap ... your deck is small. Similar to Goodnight, you are going to see your entire deck.
  • Magic the Gathering is going to be my number one favorite collectible, expandable, customizable game on this list.
