A standard game of poker is getting a pretty drastic overhaul in a new Kickstarter game titled Drawing Dead. Players face off as various Wild West saloon patrons in the card game with the highest possible stakes, their souls. Half poker, half tabletop game, the gorgeous Day of the Dead inspired artwork and deck design certainly seems worth checking out for anyone who calls themselves a card game fan.
We’ve got lots of originality this month on Kickstarter. Whether it’s a clever twist on an old favorite, or something with a unique genesis story, there is no shortage of interesting campaigns.
It is rare for me to binge on a board game, but that is exactly what happened after I got my hands on 5-Minute Dungeon. After sinking several hours into a game that usually only lasts 5 minutes, I realized I was hooked.
