Illustrations From Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective Re-Release

by Karl Bunyan on August 2nd, 2011 at 3:41 pm
Posted In: News

Ystari have put up some sample illustrations for their new release of Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, the detective story game that Henrik talked about in episode 1 of the podcast. You can see the illustrations on their website.

For those of you (and us) that don’t speak French, here’s what Google thinks Ystari have to say about it:

In 1985, exactly 26 years ago, the famous Spiel des Jahres jury rewarded agame called Sherlock Holmes Dectect board. Since then, water has flowed under the bridge. If you’re bored of not being able to find this game a long time, rejoice as we hand it up to date for late 2011 or early 2012! For the experts, know that there will be no new business from the original edition.

This is a set of special investigation, which is shaped like a book, and invites you to solve strange cases just like you dear Sherlock. You can play cooperatively on the edge of role-playing, or individual.

Neriac and Arnaud Demaegd illustrate all, as Roy’s Musketeers.

New Trailers for Battleship and Gears of War by FFG

Posted In: News

Two new trailers have come to our attention. Battleship – the movie and Gears of War – the boardgame

We already discussed boardgamers that are being made into films and why this might not be such a good idea. The recently released trailer for Battleship, despite a husky Liam Neeson putting on his best grim face, kind of proves our point, it looks awful, but you can check it out below:

 

Should you think that boardgame versions of computer games are any better, you might be on the right track because FFG’s upcoming release ‘Gears of War‘ based on the game of the same name is ‘gearing up’ to look quite nice. Although I cannot help but notice that it looks like a blend of Doom and Space Hulk. Anyhow, check out the trailer:

We are royally amused…

We have discovered that two fellow Londoners have launched an interesting and very well made ‘TV Show’ about boardgaming in London, with reviews, some banter and lots of Python-esque humour,  very British indeed. You should check it out. We are royally amused.

Shut up and sit down Episode I

Please accept our royal excuses but unforeseen events have caused our recording session to be postponed for a week and as such the next episode will be one week late, that is, be released on Tuesday the 26th of July. We hope you all have a good week  and will be back in your feeds, iTunes and MP3 players soon.
