Dardz : Kickstarter Game Demo
2018-10-15 18:30 - 20:30 | Game Point Cafe, 107 S 11th Street, Nashville, TN, 37206, United States
Dardz is a dice and card game designed by local designer Scott Shirock. Here’s a quick description from their Kickstarter campaign:
When it’s your turn you roll dice to try and get certain numbers so you can add cards from your hand to your points pile. But you have to look out because other players can also add cards to their points pile during your turn! There are also 6 different action cards and a few rules to keep things interesting. It can be played with 2-8 players and you can play every man for himself, or in teams of 2.
Scott will be on site tonight to promote his design and teach people how to play. You can learn more about the game and help make it a reality by pledging support on the Dardz Kickstarter campaign. Come out to support our local game design community and give Dardz a try!

Come out and try a brand new abstract strategy game – Deblockle. We’ll have demos of this great two player game going on all evening. Here’s a brief description from the publisher:
Deblockle is a casual strategy game of tips and turns for two players. Take turns flipping your blocks into adjacent squares and then moving them across the board. Be the first player to successfully remove all of your blocks by maneuvering them onto the final square on the board, and you win!
Made with laser-cut wood panels with a duo-tone stain and richly colored game pieces, Deblockle is fun enough to play over and over, and beautiful enough to be displayed on your coffee table.
You can learn the game from the designer himself, and if you like it – buy it that night and get it autographed as well!
