new game journalism vs old game journalism

New game journalism focus's very heavily on the skills of the writer also on other online video platforms such as YouTube to allow people to post video gameplay of the game or even put out a full play through of a game in which people have made a living from doing this.
This type of journalism Is certainly more entertaining way of finding out about a game as compared to old game journalism which consists of articles that more list the core features of a game which is a more direct method but less fun to find out about games its more fun to watch someone play the game and experience it as they experience it.

david parlett workshop

david parlett
who is known for his "spiel des jahres" award winning game hare and tortoise, Which is a non traditional race game in which to move you have to spend and earn carrots to move yourself round the board while the whole time getting rid of lettuce cards.
Sadly I was unable to attend the workshop due to personal things I feel I missed a perfect opportunity to learn from a award winning game designer but I have done my best to learn what I missed on that day. 

la decima vittima

la decima vittima or translated into the 10th victim
The plot follows contestants involved in a nationwide game of assassination but with actual assassinations, assassination is a game where a assassin is given a targets name and a targets picture,
From this the assassin must learn their targets patterns and where they will be and where they like to go and they should use this knowledge to assassinate them in the most effective way.
The film itself as dark as the premise may be, assassins mindlessly killing each other it manages to put a very comedic tone on the film and it was entertaining to watch just because of how totally insane some of the stuff that was happening.   

tweaking ancient games

Senet or also known as the passing is a board game that was played in ancient Egypt and still played to this day people refer the game as the predecessor to the modern day backgammon.
The aim of the game is for a player to move around the board and get all of their pieces of the board before their opponent.
Players in my iteration of the game are able to choose whether they wish to move their pieces forwards or backwards allowing a more strategic style of play giving the option to either race forward to the finish or move their pieces back in a way to hinder there opponents play by forming blocks or blockades

Second part in a series presented by Benjamin Woolley, He talks he talks about how the game of monopoly was developed by the British as a instrument of moral instruction when the game was imported to America they changed the idea to promote the American dream and economic success.
He also goes on to explain that monopoly was one of the best selling game in history and that the game itself was derived from a socialist game first published in Britain in 1913.
Nowadays board games have evolved to include more role playing elements an example of this is the well known dungeons and dragons.
