Traumfabrik (aka Hollywood Blockbuster) came with a CD tucked into the box full of period music from the decades corresponding to the movies in the game.

The upcoming Stronghold, by Ignacy Trzewiczek, published by Portal, Phalanx, Iello, and distributed in UK and US by Esdevium, will come with its own soundtrack, as an included CD. The title track will be composed by Crystal Viper, a heavy metal band.

The game is a heavy slugfest war-game of attack and defense.

Keep it Real by Leslie Robinson from sggc Trance4mation Games is another game where the game doesn’t really matter. Roll the irrelevant dice, pick a card and everyone at the table shares their thoughts about a subject or experience.

Although “everybody wins”, someone is arbitrarily chosen as the winner at the end of the game. It boggles the mind why, even in games without a single obstacle to overcome, someone has to be “the winner”.
