Baldrick’s Tomb Designer Diaries – a look into the creation of 5th Street Games newest project

March 20th - via: trollitc.com
Baldrick’s Tomb is a roguelike board game for 1-4 players, ages 8 and up, that plays in about 30-45 minutes. The game’s lore centers on an ancient tomb that is being thrashed by the ghost of an evil sorcerer. His spirit has taken to constantly churning the inner walls of his massive resting place, resulting in an ever-changing landscape on each floor. The goal is to be the player with the most gold at the end of the game. Recently, 5th Street Games decided to publish the Baldrick’s Tomb, giving it both a visual makeover and some welcome refinements in the process. (Read More)
