First Puzzle Strike Review

Ken who runs Fortress Ameritrash was actually the only reviewer so far to receive a copy of Puzzle Strike because supply has been so limited and I've been filling orders from real customers before reviewers. Anyway, his review says, among other things:

"This is, hands down, the Game of the Year thus far for me."

Check out his full review here. Thanks Ken and the FA community!

Work in Progress

Here's a picture of several of the proofs for the upcoming Puzzle Strike second printing and Yomi first printing.

I just thought I'd show you guys what it looks like to make all this stuff. All those logos, boxes, rulesheets, and chips have to be laid out, aligned, color corrected, and so on. This picture doesn't even include the playmats that come with Yomi, or any of the cards for Yomi. Also, all the physical construction of boxes, cards, and rulebooks is another matter entirely, this is just a picture showing the proofs for print quality of some of the various graphics.

It seems like this formatting and reformatting of boxes, chips, cards, rulebooks, and so on is never-ending, but hopefully you'll be able to see how it all turns out in November.

Interview on Fortress Ameritrash

Ken from Fortress Ameritrash did a big interview with me about Sirlin Games. He asked all sorts of stuff about what's been going on, what my philosophies are, and he got me to talk about the difficulty of being a publisher. Also, I think he really likes Puzzle Strike!
