Have Radical 8 Games done it again?

Watch “Have Radical 8 Games done it again?,” a board game interview for Damask from Ludus Vulpes on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Ludus Vulpes on YouTube:

On day three of Airecon 2022, Phil and Kirsty of Ludus Vulpes met Mark Stockton-Pitt of Radical 8 Games. Mark was showcasing his up and coming release. Damask is a light cube drafting, pattern creating game for 1-4 players, at 15 min per player. Designed by Barbara Burfoot, and developed and published by Radical 8 Games, Damask puts players in the shoes of master weavers, spinning silk and mounting patterns for coins. During the game, players mount Damask patterns by drafting silk and matching them with their chosen Damask patterns. A completed pattern can be mounted, and rewards coins based upon matches with their last mounted Damask. Players also score bonuses for mounting every type of pattern, and every colour, and gain guild favours for being in fashion. As a result players have many things to consider when choosing a Damask. The unique ‘spinning wheel’ mechanic for drafting silk doesn’t just look beautiful and capture the theme, but also requires players to think creatively about which silk cubes they want, and what they will leave for their opponents. The overstock mechanism is a fun interactive alternative to a lot of resource drafting games, as resources players don’t use can be taken by other players, which could help or hinder the owner. Damask has artwork by Rusembell and Guilherme Holz, who created the artwork for James Allen's Die of the Dead. Damask launches on Gamefound on Wednesday 27th April 2022. MSRP is £40, but the cost to backers will be just £27. Ludus Vulpes will be backing... will you? We first met Mark at the UK Games Expo in 2021, when he was selling and promoting his latest Kickstarter success Die of the Dead. Radical 8 Games have a great reputation for creating games that are bright, colourful, thematic, fun and play that under an hour. This video is split into two sections. The first is a brief rules and how to play explanation, so that you get a feel for the game. The second section, is an interview with Mark on the past, the present and the future for Radical 8 Games. We hope that you enjoy this video. Don't forget to subscribe for the latest update. We are also on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter... Just search for Ludus Vulpes. Thank you for watching. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/356296/damask

About Damask, from BoardGameGeek:

From the great trading center of Damascus, via the Silk Road, ancient weaving techniques and motifs made their way to the famous textile houses of Venice. Master weavers used draw looms to create richly woven fabrics that became known as damasks. For centuries, these luxurious silks lavished the wardrobes and halls of mansions and palaces across Europe. In Damask, players play the roles of these master weavers, trying to make the most money, while also gaining the favor of the Weavers' Guild. In more detail, the game includes 72 damask cards, with the damasks being two of six colors and one of four patterns; place 26 cubes (which come in six colors) at random on the spinning wheel, lay out a pattern and color card at random for each "season" that the game will be played (two in a short game, three in a normal one), then lay out six damask cards at random. Each player drafts a damask card, then you refill the display. On a turn, either you take a damask card and place it in front of you, or you draft cubes from the spinning wheel by choosing a cube, then going clockwise or counter-clockwise until you hit the second cube of any color. Collect all of those cubes, placing them on damask cards as you wish and keeping the remainder in your overstock. Each damask card requires three cubes of one color and two of another to complete. After the required action, you can take one of two optional actions: Take all cubes of one color from an opponent's overstock (with them receiving a guild favor in compensation), or mount a damask by returning the five cubes on it and standing it in your personal holder. You earn 1 coin when mounting a damask and 1 additional coin for each color or pattern it has that matches the previous damask you mounted, i.e., at most 4 coins. If a mounted damask also matches the season's color or pattern, you gain guild favors. Each guild favor has a color or pattern on it, and you can use them to mount damasks in place of missing cubes, replace damask cards available in the display, mount an additional damask, or avoid paying taxes for extraneous cubes left in your supply at the end of a season. Three guild favors are worth 1 coin at game's end, and in addition to coins earned during the game, you receive bonus coins at game's end for having all six colors or all four patterns among your mounted damasks. Whoever earns the most coins wins.
