Dr Finn’s is a new company with three card games for sale. As Dr Finn says, the games emphasize mechanics over graphic design.
The available games are:
- Scripts and Scribes: “You are an abbot of a medieval monastery competing with other abbots to amass the greatest library of sacred books. To do so, you need to have both the workers and resources to run a well-functioning scriptorium. To acquire workers and resources, you use a limited supply of donated gold. In addition, you must be on good terms with the powerful bishop, who can help you in your quest.”
- Slush Fund: “It is 21st century America–a place where money talks and politicians listen. In this game, players are wealthy CEOs who bribe politicians to gain political power and influence. Players must be careful, however, because political scandal might bring down one’s political friends and all of one’s invested money. Players who use their money wisely to bribe the right politicians will be victorious.”
- Charioteer: “You are a Roman Aristocrat who uses your influence and power to hire an experienced Charioteer, to acquire an excellent chariot and to buy a strong horse to compete in a chariot race. More importantly, however, you must offer sacrifices to the Gods to gain their favor as they help your team toward victory.”
