There was a thread for this before, but after the crash I can't search for it. So!
Pretty much everything put out by these guys is pure gold. I could go on and on about all the games Sirlin has released, but whatever, you can just play most of them online here. Just a quick and dirty description for the three that are playable on the site:
Yomi, "Fighting games in card form"
Flash Duel, "Divekick in board game form"
Puzzle Strike, "Dominion but sleeker and way more ridiculous"
If anyone wants to play any of those, or learn them or whatever, feel free to let me know. There may be time zone issues but I'd be happy to show people the ropes in any of these.
There's also Kongai, which I don't think has much of a playerbase anymore, but that was sort of Sirlin's take on competitive Pokemon! I still want to poke around a bit and see what's what with that, eventually. So if any of y'all wanna fuck around with that at some point, speak up. <3
For upcoming games, there's Codex, which seems to be some sort of absurdly ambitious customizable (but not collectible!) card game. There's also going to be a digital version of Chess 2 soon, starting with the Ouya but presumably branching out from there. I know there are people around here who were buzzing about Chess 2 for a bit, it's awesome despite making quite a few people annoyed with its title.
Finally, there's Pandánte. The basic premise seems to be "Poker, but with more excitement and laughter and less folding. Also, pandas." I know jack shit about Poker, but wowowow I am hyped for this:
The game's Kickstarter launched about a week ago and is doing quite well. The main question right now is whether it's going to reach the $75,000 stretch goal for the cute blue diamond chips. I think they're really gunning for that one, not so sure it's gonna happen though. Considering that it doubles as a Poker set with high quality chips with fucking pandas and bamboo on them, who knows, maybe some peeps from that crowd will be drawn in.
Anyway, this is a thread for all things Sirlin Games! Discuss whatever, challenge people to games, and so on!
