Restoration Games has had a string of hits with Stop Thief! and Downforce, but they haven’t been resting on their laurels. They’ve updated the app for Stop Thief! to include more challenges and a cooperative mode. They also had a highly successful Kickstarter campaign you may have heard about.
Downforce is getting a new track called Danger Circuit. The new board will come in minimalist packaging and fit right inside the box. I really appreciate this approach. Danger Circuit will have a few new wrinkles in the tracks as well.
Dinosaur Tea Party should be familiar to anyone who has played Guess Who? However, this version has each player owning two characters. Since they are dinosaurs, there isn’t any stigmas or stereotypes associated with the characters that may have been found in the original game.
Finally Fireball Island is on display in all its glory. If you want to bring people into gaming with a game that has table presence, then this is a great choice. Be sure to check out the prototype in the video that was at Origins.
While not working as a Database Administrator, Keith Schleicher has been associated with Gaming Trend since 2003. While his love of video games started with the Telestar Alpha (a pong console with four different games), he trule started playing video games when he received the ill-fated TI-99/4A. While the Speech Synthesizer seemed to be the height of gaming, eventually a 286 AT computer running at 8/12 Hz and a CGA monitor would be his outlet for a while. Eventually he’d graduate to 386, 486, Pentium, and Athlon systems, building some of those systems while doing some hardware reviews and attending Comdex. With the release of the Dreamcast that started his conversion to the console world. Since then he has acquired an NES, SNES, PS2, PS3, PSP, GBA-SP, DS, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One S, Gamecube, Wii, Switch, and Oculus Quest 2. While not playing video games he enjoys bowling, reading, playing board games, listening to music, and watching movies and TV. He originally hails from Wisconsin but is now living in Michigan with his wife and sons.
