Retro games and I have a love/hate relationship. As a child of the 80’s, I grew up with them…developing fond memories all the while being completely mindful of the fact that I spiked my controller into the floor on several occasions. “Game Over”, a game seeking your support on Kickstarter, is certainly a welcome nod at the genre. In this easy to play card game for 2-6 players, folks will be battling retro characters in one big battle royal. Based on the information provided by the developer, games on average only take about fifteen minutes to complete…an ideal time frame for quick party action with friends and family (recommended ages 12+).
Game Over
Eric Goscicki, the game’s creator, had this to say:
“Game Over was our answer to a problem our friends were facing earlier this year. We wanted to create a fun party game that was easy to pick up and play with any crowd, but that didn’t suffer from being too shallow in the process. We also all grew up in the NES era and really had an affinity towards the retro games of yesterday, so there was never any question as to what the theme would be. Drawing inspirations from dozens of games, Game Over is our ode to the golden years of gaming translated into a turn based table top card game. It’s also the game that we usually end up going back to whenever there is a get together, as the rounds are designed to be quick and accessible. It truly is a labor of love that we’d love nothing more to do than to share with others.”
