I was contacted yesterday by a new UK game company, New Century Games, who originate from just up the road in Cheshire. They have just released a new game: Cash Trap, and will be at Essen next week to promote it. The game looks like a simple “get all your pieces from one side of the board to the other” type game but your efforts are complicated by the fact that movement is dictated by cards you play and there are plenty of opportunities to block an opponent’s pieces. Details of the game can be found on the game’s website. The game has also been tested by the Halesowen Boardgames Club and they seemed to have fun with it. The game’s not going to challenge the heavy abstracts in the Gipf series but it looks like it will be a nice family game. I look forward to trying it soon. |
