The Game Crafter’s Back to School Sale: Games to Consider That Are Not Mine.

The Game Crafters annual summer sale just launched today, and I thought it would be nice to showcase a few games that are included in the sale, but are not my own designs. I am going to only included games that I actually own myself. What better way to know that I have confidence in a game then the fact that I bought it, played it, and still love it? These are in no particular order, so let’s get started!

Cursed is light, and very quick playing, solo dungeon delver. It has great artwork and very solid mechanics. Best of all, it is quite inexpensive. Regular Price $14.99 and on sale right now for $12.84 Link to Cursed

Paperbag Dungeon is another light dungeon exploration game that implements tile-laying mechanics. The artwork also is fantastic in this game Regular Price $17.99 and on sale right now for $13.30! Link to Paperback Dungeon

Doom Pilgrim is a fantastic narrative-driven game set in a dark and foreboding world, where you will have to navigate a deck of jumbo cards with absolutely beautiful artwork in a perilous attempt to stay alive. Regular Price $44.99 and on sale now for $34.99 Link to Doom Pilgrim

Jump Gate is the critically acclaimed space exploration game designed by Matt Worden. This a light/medium weight game that is super easy to learn an get to the table. It also has a clean solo mode included. Regular Price $45.99 and on sale now for $37.05 Link to Jump Gate

Buried Beneath is a rather massive experience crammed into a very small package. Something I pride myself on, but this game manages to pack a very solid solo worker placement game into a mint tin. Regular Price $21.99 and on sale now for $16.40 Link to Buried Beneath

Quest for the Lost Pixel is considered by many as one of the best holy grail indie games. It has a steep price tag, but it is packed with a ton of content and Peter Jank has supported the game with many expansions. Regular Price $161.99 and on sale now for $132.55 Link to Quest for the Lost Pixel

Armor Up is a really fun 18 card micro game that has players trying to build the best set of equipment. It plays 2-3 players, but adding a second game allows for up 6 players. It also hosts the amazing artwork of Alisha Volkman! Regular Price $9.99 and on sale now for $7.13 Link to Amor Up

Decayed is designed and illustrated by my very talented daughter Abby and it does deserve to be on this list. It uses some familiar mechanics to Grey Gnome fans, but is set in a hospital after the release of a terrible disease. Regular Price $30.99 and is on sale now for $25.87 Link to Decayed

Polyhedral Perils is a super compact dungeon delver that you could literally keep in your wallet. You only need to supply the dice. There are also a couple of expansions available for this little gem! Regular Price $5.99 and on sale now for $4.69 Link to Polyhedral Perils

Dungeoneering Dolls is a really enjoyable card game that focuses on hand-management and set-collection. It plays 2-4 players and is quick to learn, teach, and play. I also love the watercolor illustrations. Regular Price $23.99 and on sale now for $18.63 Link to Dungeoneering Dolls

So that completes my list of games that I would recommend that are part of this years summer sale. I urge you to take your time and look through all the games offered and see what speaks to you. It means a lot to an indie designer to make a sale, so you could really brighten someone’s day. Here are a list of games that I am looking at right now, that are also included in the sale, that I just might pick up myself. Don’t Let It Die, Sector 18, Auriferous, Legends of Expeditions, Mythical Menagerie, Potioneers, and Pocket Realm Crafter. Well, I hope this list inspired you to potentially pick up an exciting new indie game! Here is a direct link to the sale. >BACK TO SCHOOL SALE LINK<
