OH Canada! Eh!
-
Time for some old-fashioned Canadian pride.
This is a list for games desgined by good-old Canucks
Feel free to add -- there must be MANY more.
Or comment if I have games here which do not fit
I know there are other games which have a Canadian connection, but often created by Americans or Europeans.
* NOTE as of March 27, that is the list I have access too, anyone with other insights please let me know I can add, or you can add as well.
I hope this is seen as an interesting and worthwhile resource that brings Canadian designers together in one Geeklist
BIG THANKS to Sean Ross for a designer list
GENERAL OBSERVATIONS (a list based on gut feeling):
Most Successful : Trivial Pursuit
Best game : Crokinole based on longevity, and skill needed
Biggest Surprises : A Game of Thrones and Shadowfist CCGs having a Canadian connection
Hottest games : Interest in Wasabi and Genji both appear high
Canadians like abstracts : Omega Chess, Dragon Chess, Proteus, Micropul and Par-K all VERY good abstract games, in fact Omega might be best Western Chess variant there is.
Not a surprise : We like hockey games

Supremacy Games was here in Toronto, Bob Simpson developer.
I was a Field Marshal at conventions, running tournies. I tried to get a few variants in, and thus my name is on one of the company cards in the second deck.
I'll avoid linking in the multitude of expansions.

Also from Supremacy Games was this market/economy game. There were even suggestions to link the two games, using the Rollout economics to curb and "fix" the market problems in Supremacy.
I don't know if I ever played this. Maybe once.
