Roy here. Here’s a video about one of my pet projects this year.
Marc Majcher, a Hideout performer (Improv for Evil, The Escorts) and director (The Black Vault), is also a game developer. He has designed quite a few compelling board games, which I have had the pleasure to play. My personal favorite is Fluffy Bunny Tea Party.
Marc also experience creating short, fun games called “game poems.” I call them “poem games” in the video. Watch for the flash of Marc’s eyes when I say it wrong and he decides not to call me out on it.
Knowing his experience, at the beginning of 2012 I asked Marc if he’d be interested in designing a series of postcard games based on each of our Mainstage shows. He said yes!
He’s already done games for The Sci-Fi Comedy Double Feature, Process, and ROCK. But the game he made for Manhattan Stories called Sex & Deathis my favorite so far.
To properly share it with the world, I decided to get together Marc and Jon Bolden (one of the directors of Manhattan Stories) so that they could demo the game:
Only a limited number these games were printed. The only way to get Sex & Death is come see a show at The Hideout and pick it up at the ticket-taking table at the top of the stairs. It’s free!
You can get tickets to Manhattan Stories here.
Also, visit Marc at Gizmet Games!
