Eleusis and Eidos
So yesterday I played a card game called Eleusis with some co-workers. The concept is certainly interesting enough but it didn’t turn out to be as fun as I hoped in practice. I think you just have to be extremely patient in this type of game considering a single play can take more than an hour easily. I lost interest about 45mins in and quit early so I could go home (and find out what the secret rule was). The secret rule was surprisingly simple but it would of taken much more time during play for me I think in order to figure it out. I don’t know if I’ll bother playing the game again.
An article on Gamasutra has informed me that Square Enix could be acquiring Eidos Interactive for dirt cheap. Although I have enjoyed many products from “Squeeze-nix” before they recently have underperformed in my opinion and I don’t think this UK-based company is going to help them any, no matter how little they pay for it.
