And Now For Something Completely Different

[tgb]

7 Grand Steps is an upcoming release by Mousechief (Dangerous High School In Trouble) and I guarantee it is unlike anything you've ever played. Essentially a board game where you have to have your family survive through the ages, it's a brilliant mashup of the old Avalon Hill game Advanced Civilizations, Crusader Kings II, and a little bit of King of Dragon Pass thrown into the soup for good measure, all played out on something resembling a Pachinko machine.

I've been playing the demo like crazy, and am impressed enough to write the developer asking for a spot as a beta tester.

Doesn't appeal to me at all.  But, I did like the little Cobra recruiting ad!

Different strokes, I guess. Here's a much longer video showing how much deeper the gameplay can get.  There's no narration, but he appears to be starting with the tutorial on:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4BquqewLV4

Thanks tgb, I've pre-ordered! This sort of thing is right up my street and should be heartily encouraged!!

Thanks for the heads-up, tgb. I don't remember ever seeing a game like 7 Grand Steps. So I will most likely be buying it.
