Cadwallon: City of Thieves

It's great to see Cadwallon is still alive - since the original game was one of the first to drown when Rackham's ship started sinking. Rackham is somehow still afloat, but that is another story.

I was sad at first to see that Fantasy Flight had purchased the rights to Rackham's games and not really kept their spirit alive, but this game looks like a promising, light-hearted venture into the beautiful territory of Cadwallon (which is one of the best fantasy places ever created). Let's hope that City of Thieves gains a good following and convinces Fantasy Flight to publish a new edition of the original RPG.

Utopia Engine

Utopia Engine is a solitaire dice game about an old artificer searching the wilderness for pieces to an ancient device. Doomsday is coming. If he can reassemble the Utopia Engine before the world ends, the crisis will be averted and the earth will finally know peace.

A solitaire dice game that is deep and extremely challenging? Yes! Guess what... it is also free to download, print and play. Get this game immediately and give it a go. Since it is currently still in playtest, the designer Nick Hayes is very open to suggestions. Check out the message board and please let him know what you think.
