designer diary: Malaysian Holidays
This is the story of how Malaysian Holidays came to be.
High Society
When I played this 31-year-old classic I can’t help but admire how tight the design is. So few decisions, but every one forces you to think hard.
My Grand View Garden – a game about Dream of the Red Chamber
What if Dream of the Red Chamber is set in a Baba & Nyonya world?
Katana Spirits
A Japanese themed polyomino game about training and fighting bandits.
Toy Battle
Watch out for the rubber ducky!
Ghosts Galore
Collect monsters and lay tracks.
Spots
Are you a dog person or a cat person?
The Fox in the Forest: Duet
This spin-off is Duet, not Duel, so you will stop fighting and start jogging together on a forest trail.
Agent Avenue
Catch me if you can, before I catch you!
Take A Number / X Nimmt
Here’s a more challenging version of the classic 6 Nimmt / Take 5.
Miams
A light dice game with lots of fruits and lots of funky powers. No durians though.
Captain Tsubasa
Anyone watched this as a kid?
Up or Down?
It’s amazing how many different games people can make about playing cards in ascending order.
Leaders
What happens in chess when you get to move all your pieces on your turn?
Karakorum
I have great admiration for games which are simple yet present many difficult decisions. This is one of them, from master designer Reiner Knizia.
Diced Veggies
Now you have an excuse to play with a knife
New York Zoo
Uwe Rosenberg goes to New York (kind of)
Just One
Have you played this SdJ from 2019?
