We will be running demo games of No Caboose! at the Congress of Gamers summer convention which will be held in Tyson's Corner, VA from Friday, August 17 to Sunday, August 19, 2018. Our games are scheduled to be run at 1 PM on Saturday, August 18 and at 11 AM on Sunday, August 19. This con is very well run, inexpensive, and a lot of fun. If you are in the area, please stop by and play or at least say hello. Learn to play No Caboose with the designer.
We will offer prizes to the game winners.

No Caboose! games will be run at the annual Origins 2018 convention. We will be running games in the Puffing Billy section on Friday and Saturday, June 15 and 16. Both the regular version and the new tournament version will be available to play. Hope to see everyone there.

We have added a supplemental play deck that can be used in place of the five regional route decks. We call it the Tournament version because it has simpler mechanics for tournament play and easier mechanics for new players. it speeds up play by reducing the number of decisions each player has to make in building track for the railroads. We also added historical event cards to the deck to add historical flavor. The event cards can be used in a regular game of No Caboose! as well.

Hope to see everyone there in a couple weeks.

We made a video demonstrating how No Caboose is played and we posted it on YouTube. It even has a cat trying to join us. The link is:

It's our first ever YouTube video, as is evident from our effort here. It was fun to do, though, and I think it shows most of the mechanics of the game. The early turns are fairly easy, but later turns require more strategy and some difficult choices.

We are arranging reviewers to write reviews of No Caboose for BoardGameGeek.com and for Game Crafter. The first review should be done in December.

Thanks for everyone's support!

In this picture taken at Euroquest Nov. 3-6 in Pikesville, MD, Laurie is pointing out track building options to the other players in a demo game of No Caboose! Note this game used the pre-production version with the map on a thin mat instead of the new quad-fold game board. Sadly, the new games arrived the day after the convention ended due to a delay in shipment, but everyone had fun nonetheless even with the old version and small map.

We expect to receive our initial order of games during the first week of November and have them available to sell at Euroquest in Baltimore the weekend of Nov. 4-6. We are also running demo games at Euroquest.

Hey, we are publishing our first two games No Caboose! and Wordit. Both games are at the printers for a small print run to see how they turn out before we print a bunch of them.
We will be demonstrating both games at the Congress of Gamers convention in Washington DC at the end of September and at the Euroquest convention in Baltimore the first weekend in November.
