It is this level of spit and polish that I love to see in indie games! The artwork is great! I actually overlooked it several times because I thought it was a mass market game. 9.5/10 Great job!

The Artifact

An interesting idea for a card/board game from a teacher of all places ;)

From Card Game Forge's website:

The Artifact

In the New Galactic Authority, things are not going well.
With the Alien Kerel illegally colonising more of the Outer Arm planets, pirates disrupting interplanetary shipping and an unknown plague placing more ships under quarantine, the situation is running grim indeed.

Then the singing started.

A single voice over the Hypercom, it started as a lone signal picked up by a tramp freighter near the Galactic Hub; it was immediately dismissed as signal failure or an elaborate hoax. Increasing reports came in from other regions until finally the StarLiner Penumbra docked on Triton, all hands on board reported hearing an alien choir singing within their minds.

‘What did they sing?’ asked one investigator.

‘Find us’. They replied.

Triangulating the Penumbra’s course, researchers found the telepathic signal and traced it to a small planet in Orion’s Spur near the Perseus Arm. As the singing became almost unbearable, they found a small stone marker in a cave on the planet’s surface. When they picked it up, the singing abruptly stopped, to be replaced by a single, quiet voice once more calling from the far side of the Galaxy.
The marker was just a chunk of silicon with a few esoteric carvings but obviously of hidden monumental importance. What was clear though was the marker was incomplete; whoever left this wanted them found and completed.
Once word of the signals and the markers was leaked however, every owner-operator, merchantman and pirate set out across the cosmos hoping to find the markers and solve the mystery; what treasure did the markers lead to?

Clearly the markers pointed to something - something ancient and advanced and awakening.

Looks interesting as I said, keep an eye on it: Eyeball it...

RTS WORLDS

Real Time Strategy games are my weakness as are card games so if we put the two together we get RTS WORLDS. Worlds initially takes place in a world of sword and sorcery and is available by clicking the images below.

Anyone who has ever played an RTS like Warcraft or Starcraft should be right at home here. The RULES to the game are simple. For the most up to date rules changes and card errata keep an eye on this blog.

RTS WORLDS will be moving forward later this year (in time for Christmas orders) with new units, structures, a rules update, and the new Dungeons and Heroes set!

Starcraft 2: THE Card Game

It may not be an "indie" game as such seeing as it is based on one of the biggest games in the world, however it is independently created by http://www.revolutionalarts.com and is a winner in my book! If you have Starcraft 2 be sure to check out THE Card Game when choosing your map, you will not regret it!

Ok, so, the game is rather straight forward you and your opponent both control a planetary fortress and use vespane and minerals to summon units and buildings, etc from starcraft and starcraft 2, it is so great to see many of the old units return, plus the addition of some, how shall we say, an interesting crossover character that originally appeared as an easter egg/April fools joke in the campaign of SC2: the Taren Marine!
