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

Never refuse to do a kindness unless the act would work great injury to yourself, and never refuse to take a drink-under any circumstances.

Actually, this one's best thought of as a chess-themed card game rather than a card-based chess variant.

Alan is also a member of Game Artisans of Canada, a Calgary-based design group.
