Casual Game Insider - Summer 2020

Silver Coin by Bezier Games offers new gameplay twists as the newest stand-alone game in the Silver series. Plus: save the world from a raging virus in five great titles from the Pandemic series, the "rock stars" of game design who forever changed the world of board gaming, six categories of board gamers (which one are you?), the growing use of technology in tabletop games, and how Restoration Games is revisiting the classics.

Flipping Out Over SILVER COIN

Game series don’t come along all that often. Expansions, sure, but not an actual series of stand-alone games. Silver is both a series of games (Silver Coin is the third of at least seven planned entries) and a collection of expansions, with each game being both stand-alone as well as an expansion for the previous titles. Even weirder is the notion that the two previous games in the series—Silver and Silver Bullet—serve as expansions to Silver Coin.
