Any Titanic Love?

With all of the product announcements this past week, there's nothing yet on the Titanic front.

Anything forthcoming? Dismember the Alamo?

I agree... I bought Kill Dr Lucky, and it has become my brother's favorite board game, and even my girlfriend likes it. Now I'm waiting for my Falling that I ordered from my FLGS to come in as well... what else you have in store for us?

Currently, we have nothing to announce. If Yetisburg does well this Christmas, we'll look at queuing up Dismember the Alamo...

Well, then I hope Yetisburg does well this Xmas. It certainly deserves to! Even my mother-in-law loves the game!

From all accounts, Yetisburg has done very well, so I have been eagerly awaiting Dismember the Alamo. Anything new to report on its release?

(I always pictured its layout different from Yetisburg -- A 4x4 square of cards representing the Alamo troops, surrounded on all four sides by a single row of Mexicans cards.)

Nope. It has done OK, but right now, it's largely a matter of resources. For Titanic, our resources are currently going into the new edition of Kill Doctor Lucky.

Oh, so that didn't happen in time for GenCon '09? The feedback on poor 'Shamrock' was a bit limited here. Our group has not had a boardgame night in awhile, but we (the DM and I) are managing to play Pathfinder almost every Sunday between 2 groups, so I'm not complaining.

I usually go HERE for my boardgame reviews. The forums for each game usually have more than enough positive AND/OR negative opinions to let you make an intelligent guess as to whether or not a game is for you.

Sadly, no. It's at the printer now.

Kill Doctor Lucky...
A few more expansions or game-types could be interesting, but not really necessary.

  • Something involving a Ghost or maybe a Butler/Maid, niether would likely be playable in conjunction with 'Shamrock' though, we have to have SOME time to play Pathfinder after all.
  • Player vs. Player options might be fun, it would likely have to add cards and have a respawn of some sort, elimination can be sucky in long-winded game.
  • Molded minis for players would be welcomed by many I'm sure.
  • Weapon & Failure card booster packs for larger groups.

    Also something to mention, I've noticed a lot of times the game comes down to someone winning by forfeit. Meaning someone wouldn't dish out their spite tokens/failure cards and then the game is over. I understand the purpose of bluffing, it's not the same. We've had this out come a few times and usually people get "this is a stupid game" upset, because it came down to Johnny 'not playing' the game for Bobby to win. I've also been the 'Bobby', it's a hollow, empty victory at best. A rule to counter that situation could be helpful, sorry I didn't mention it before. I know, house rules. :p

  • Molded plastic minis are pretty darn expensive...

    ...and larger groups don't just need more cards—they'd also need a larger house, since crowded houses make for fewer murder attempts.

    We're with you there. "Winning by forfeit" is no longer an option in the new edition. If you're the last player with the opportunity to stop a murder attempt, and you have the cards to do so, you must now do so.

    I have no idea how much molded plastic minis manufacture for, but I'll take your word on it. The word I avoid when looking for minis in general is "collectible". (Ex: Heroscape)

    Yep, and a larger house would get ugly, ruining the fun/concept of the existing game.

    That's cool, is there going to be some sort of rules errata available? I already own the Titanic Games version and the Shamrock expansion, seems a bit criminal to charge another $40+ for a paragraph or so of rules errata. Perhaps as a FREE download via Paizo cart like Pathfinder player's guides?
