8/10
As I was playing a certain other ACKK writer came into the room, joining me as I played this game. He (and I quote) said “oh, my doc, how do you play this?”. I saw this a lot in the comments. Confusion was rampant! I valiantly yell at them all to read the instructions. Battle [...]

Super Energy Apocalypse

Super Energy Apocalypse
8/10
Super Energy Apocalypse is another entrant in the Jay Is Games Game Design Competition #5. This game ended up winning second place overall (The Last Canopy received first place) and it was a very strong candidate for first. There were some issues that held it back from getting first place but [...]

6/10
Random violence and combat, gotta love it. Maganic Wars Outsite (MWO) seems to be one of those card combat games where your goal is to take out the other guy before he takes out you. Battle your shadowy foe by throwing out various cards that can poison, wound, weaken, or paralyze [...]
