UKGE 2024: Go Ahead Punk, Power Vacuum, Spokes, Indie Game Spotlight!

Description provided by Board Stupid on YouTube:

There were some amazing indie games released at UKGE 2024 and here are a few more that we captured that we think deserve the spotlight! Inspired by classic 70’s cop cinema, Go Ahead Punk is a One vs All hidden movement game of cat and mouse stealth and all guns blazing action! For 1-4 players, one player takes on the role of the Sniper using hidden movement to sneak around the streets of San Francisco. The cards he draws will determine where he has access to take a shot before making his escape. The other players take on the role of the cops, using their individual skills to help track down Stinger. Spokes is a fast paced cycling game for 2-6 players. Players create cycle paths by swapping spokes from their wheels for those on the board. As players create routes their spokes change, resulting in fast and beautiful dynamic play. Each turn players select a spoke on their wheel to swap for one on the track, and then travel down a contiguously coloured track containing the spoke they placed. As the game continues players build, share and dismantle routes, managing the selection of spokes at their disposal with efficient route building. Players can draft other bikes as well, and use the reserved energy to pull out ahead at opportune moments. The first player to complete 3 laps wins. Power Vacuum is a 1-5 player trick-taking game with some treacherous twists. The game is played over several rounds, and in each round players use tricks to adjust the Power levels of other players to work toward their hidden Agenda cards. Power is gained by winning tricks with the highest number of the led suit, but it is also gained, lost, and exchanged between players through shrewd use of the Control Board, which is manipulated by the player of the lowest card of ANY suit. If at the round's end you have fulfilled your Agenda card, successfully picking the players with the most and/or least amount of Power, you get a large bonus payout. End-of-round points are exchanged for pieces of a great statue you are building to yourself. The first player to complete their statue becomes the next Supreme Appliance!
