SHAMELESS SELF-PROMOTION: Pit Crew

Very pleased that Stronghold officially announced my new game Pit Crew today. It's a real-time 2-9 player team game, where you play a Pit Crew trying to get your car back out on the track as quickly as possible. It's my simplest and fast game to date, clocking in at around 15 minutes.

Here's the cover art:



Should be released around May. Very excited for this one to get in people's hands!

Awesome man. Congrats!

Congratulations!

Looking forward to this one. Love real-time games. Congrats.

I'm curious... you've now made several games for larger groups. Was this due to you often having large groups over to play games, and seeing a need?

Not really - just kinda worked out that way.

Ares Project started out as two players. Z-Man would only take it if it went up to four, so we added multiplayer rules.

Space Cadets, because of the nature of the 'separate roles' just lent itself to adding more players, which (in theory, if not in practice) wouldn't make things longer since there's so much simultaneous stuff going on. And once you have teams, like Dice Duel and now Pit Crew, its easy to scale up.

I guess for my chaotic designs (Dice Duel, Pit Crew, Dragon & Flagon) I like higher player counts, as they veer towards party games. And for more controlled affairs (Ares Project, Fog of War) I look at lower player counts.

Congrats again, Geoff! I still need to play Fog of War.
