My Game Designs

Main article: CeruleansGames.tripod.com

ICEHOUSE GAMES:

  • Dectana is the first Icehouse+Decktet hybrid, and is my attempt to build a better Gnostica on a new foundation. (2009)
  • Conquest of Mars, an abstract wargame using pyramids, playing cards, and dice, needs playtesters. (2008)
  • Timberland, in which Treehouse meets Volcano, could use some way to control its randomness. (2007)
  • Traction, the game of walking pyramids, needs some basic revisions. (2005)
  • Olympus Mons, a chess-like game inspired by field promotion, is ready for playtesting. (2006)

OTHER GAMES:

  • He's made a sneaky little tile game, Wanderlust, a Fluxx-like exploration game using double-sided tiles. Make your own copy today! (Now available in French and Japanese.) (2007)
  • Check out Hydropolis, a city-building game for 2-5 players using a Waterworks deck. Complete rules and revision history are posted on my website, and a German translation is out there. Give it a try, then go to BGG and rate it! (2007)
  • He's got a stand-alone card game, Ferrball's Mansion, the game of cartoon mayhem. Playtesters wanted! (2004)
  • Cube Clash is an abstract Chess-like game using Dragon Dice. Alpha rules are up, and looking for playtesters. (2008)
  • Also, he has an old home-brewed CCG, Warriors. v0.90 is now available for download for online play via LackeyCCG. Old-fashioned cardsheets and rules are available upon request. (1992)
  • If you like open-ended turn-based strategy RPGs about spaceship combat, check out my surprisingly enduring Starships. (1998)
