Digital Eel's Carlson Releasing A Board Game A Week
September 21, 2009 10:00 AM | Eric Caoili
Rich Carlson, co-founder at Digital Eel (BrainPipe), has set out to put out a board game kit each week, each release based on an obscure and sometimes centuries-old game. Most of the games are available through Game Crafter, a really neat Cafepress-esque site for designing, publishing, and selling your own tabletop games.
Carlson has released six board games through Game Crafter so far (the project began in mid-August), the latest of which is Three Musketeers, "an abstrategy game" originally designed by Haar Hoolim. The two-player game has one person controlling the Three Musketeers, while the other manages 22 enemy tokens. It uses the concept of "unequal forces", in which two players have different pieces, rules, and victory conditions.
Th other five sets published under Carlson's "Let's Play Games" label include Hex, Space Ludo, Surakarta, Knights & Champions, and CAM. You can find more information on all of them, along with links to purchase their kits from Game Crafter, on the Let's Play Games page.
