Last week at the Origins Game Fair we got the chance the talk with Nick Bentley from North Star Games about Evolution and Wits and Wagers. Evolution just raised almost $280,000 on Kickstarter to fund both an expansion and second edition of the popular game. The expansion gives players the ability to add avian traits to their growing species. If you would like to know more about Evolution, we were able to do a preview before their first kickstarter, in addition we will have a review of the second edition soon.
The popular party game Wits and Wagers is also getting a little love. Nick mentioned that the game has surpassed the one million units mark. As the property moves forward the components in the base game are being upgraded to and even higher quality level.
Keep an eye out as we have a whole pile of videos from Origins that we will be posting. This is only the beginning.
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.
