#grimslingers

don’t know anything about him except that he exists but today i bought a board/card game because the art looked really cool and “sci-fi western fantasy” intrigued me as a genre, this is that game: 

so just now i was going through the cards of it and i have no idea how to play the game yet but would you look at this 

After parking in a lot that quickly filled with a gaggle of confused people cause the machine for paying to park there wasn't working (it was eventually fixed by the repair person just...opening the case and then closing it), and then wandering a cavernous hall of board games utterly lost, we made it to our first game like an hour late (it turned out to be at literally the first table we passed when we walked in = |).

It was called Grimslingers, and it was a weird west card game. We cast spells while shouting "draw"! Ties were settled by playing a sudden game of blackjack! You had a robot familiar to help you cast spells! One of the characters is a puppy with glowing eyes!

Overall a very wild and fun game, and we only got into like, half the possible things (there are items, pets, monsters you can collectively fight, one of the characters is a normal looking cat that's a bank robber??)

The Gamer Babe interviews Stephen Gibson
