Leave it to Australians* to come up with a name like that.
Wattsalpoag publishes a number of games, including two that came out this year:
- Fruit Fair: Secretly select the trees you’re picking from, and then collect the fruit. Last to pick loses out. Unfortunately for me, the main mechanic looks a lot like the one I really don’t like in Slide 5. So probably if you like that game, you’ll like this one more.
- Jet Set: Buy to claim routes, or pay to use routes already claimed. Earn VPs from flights. This looks like a cool route planning game, which I’m a complete sucker for. Looking something like Ticket to Ride, but you can still use other players’ routes at a cost.
*Update: Turns out to be from Washington state.
Nope, not Australian. But we are on (near) the Pacific ocean!
And Wattsalpoag stands for: With All This Talent Sitting Around, Let’s Put Out A Game.
Have fun!
