Floodgate Games Talk Sagrada Expansion & Bosk

7 Comments

Floodgate Games got a chance to delve into a discussion with Ryan about their newest expansion for Sagrada as well as Bosk which is a game of majestic trees. If Sagrada is anything to go by, Bosk is also going to be a lot of fun.

Crafting windows from dice might not sound like an interesting concept at first but it’s a brilliant puzzle to try and solve and it always looks beautiful at the end too.

Id like to see a look at some of the indie game sections, so the one/two man bands showing their games and get them some wider coverage on this platform.

Be great to have you guys do a bit of boosting the companies that don’t get any press really – help us to uncover some gems please, preferably before sunday so i can go buy any lol.

Just catching up on the content from yesterday I missed when at work.

I remember when tabletop games were a niche for ‘social misfits’. Today, there is this massive event over 3 days, with global franchises like Alien having licensed games being announced.

It never ceases to amaze me how this hobby has grown. I started out buying white dwarf, the one that covered dungeons and dragons andfeatured hand drawn black and white covers, and now we get all this.

Thanks to everyone involved for the hard work that brought all this coverage.
