A TON of News

2009-05-19T07:22:00.005-04:00

There is a TON of news to report today...

First off, CrossOver debuts today. It's our newest puzzle invention, the object is to use the numbers in the black diamonds to determine which letters are used in the hidden word or phrase. It quite the little puzzle, click by this LINK it will take you right to the puzzle and the rules!

Next, the Multi-Player Cheese Chasers is up and ready for download! There is a patch for everyone that has already downloaded the Solitaire Game, so no need to print out more of the same stuff.
The Multi-Player Cheese Chasers can either be played Cooperatively (as a team) or Competitively. Cheese Chasers remains a 40 card game, so now there are 3 games in one, that you can play with just the one Cheese Chasers deck!
Here is a LINK to the patch.
The Multi-Player Version is now included with the all the game files, so no need to fear, everything for all the new Chasers out there is in one easy to get package and place.

More! Cheese Chasers has reached a milestone at the Board Game Geek website, it has had enough people clicking back and giving the game a rating to be RANKED in the list of board games. This is quite the big to do, since more than half the game on the Board Game Geek website NEVER receive enough ratings to be ranked.

So that's a TON of news for today, but everything is GREAT.

Take Care Everyone, and Keep Chasing Cheese.

Hey all! Caught sight of this little aritcle from the Telegraph, thought it was pretty hip. Makes us that stick to the pencil and paper, rather than the pixel feel a bit better about ourselves.

There's a new feature, the Cheese Chasers Card Game! It's a solitaire card game, free for everyone to print and play. Help the Cheese Chasers' Mice knab the cheese, avoid the cats, and break the mousetraps, to be the top Cheese Chaser around! It takes 3 sheets of paper to print out (including the rules), so invest the 5 minutes and make yourself a set, so you can play for hours of fun.

Sharpen pencil and your mind!
