Dice Hate Me Game of the Year Awards 2015
Happy New Year, dear readers! It’s officially 2016, but no journey forward for us would be complete without our traditional look back at the gaming past.

And, of course, who could forget the meta gaming goodness of Deck Building: The Deckbuilding Game and Unpub: The Unpublished Card Game? It has been a full and bright 2015!

The State of Games, Ep. 98 – The One About the Games of 2015
It’s that time of the year again – time to look forward by looking back! Yes, a new year is upon us but before we settle into the games of 2016, it’s best that we talk about what we loved about 2015.

Swinging Jivecat Voodoo Artist!
Last month on Dice Hate Me, I shared a sneak peek at one of the newest games being playtested in the Clever Mojo Games stable – Swinging Jivecat Voodoo Lounge, by designer Seth Roback. Since then, I’ve gotten a closer look at a new board layout and a revised rulebook that actually made me understand the mad machinations behind this offbeat and intriguing game. David MacKenzie will have the prototype in tow at Origins, so I’ll be sitting down for a few sessions, and taking copious notes and pictures, so look for that during my periodic updates during the convention.
