Reels & DealsTabletop Tuesday: Hollywood in the Cards | Submitted by costik on Tue, 03/31/2009 - 00:29. |
Reels & Deals was included in the Games 100 in October 08, Games Magazine's annual round-up of the best 100 games in print (yes, we tabletop geeks take this seriously), and when I learned that the developers live scant blocks from my house, I decided I had to take a look at it.
Hollywood Mogul 3If Sam Goldwyn Were Alive, This Would Be His Favorite Game | Submitted by DrJ on Sun, 05/20/2007 - 02:22. |
Strategy gamers who like a simulated slice of real life (and I suppose I have to use that term loosely when I speak of the "business" of Hollyweird) and the ability to control lots of details like the control freaks some of us are, Hollywood Mogul 3 is such a steak. This sequel to that old Visual Basic game has a tremendous amount more to offer than that earlier game.
In Against All Odds, you play a citizen of a repressive country who is (in the first of twelve acts) detained by the police and forced to flee. The first four deal with escaping from your country, the next four with trying to establish refugee status in a host country, and the final four with attempting to adjust to life in a strange land. It was developed under the auspices of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.
