TGC Community Anthology

The Game Crafter Community Anthology Volume One is the first-ever collection of games designed by members of The Game Crafter's vibrant community for the TGC Community Anthology competition.

With 78 games, from Abducted to Zombomination, there's something for everyone. Just turn the page to battle zombies, clean up the beach, fight aliens, run your own pizzeria, become the most popular kid in school, play a game of beach volleyball, and much more!

Each game takes up only two pages, which can be laid flat for play. All the pieces you need are included, along with a handy fabric bag for storage.

Choose one game or play through them all to find your favorites!

Zombomination

In Zombomination, every game is a desperate fight for survival. Zombies swarm the city, hungry for flesh and brains, while humans scavenge for scraps. Is this really a life? Will the humans simply settle into their safehouse and live one day at a time? Or will they risk everything to destroy the lab and end the zombie plague? Will the zombies wipe out the human race?

Mine Your Own Business

In gemstone mining, you must find, forge, and polish gemstones to bring them into their most valuable form. The business is tough, and those who want to survive must learn to assess trends and even manipulate the market to their own advantage.

Pizza Pronto

At Pizza Pronto, we work together to create the best—and only—pizza slices in town for our loyal customers. Roll a pair of dice for each customer to find out what they want and when they want it. Roll one dice for each ingredient—pepperoni, pineapple, onion, and anchovies—to see how much you can pack on the pizza. When a customer comes to pick up their pizza, they get their slice, no matter what it looks like. If it's what they ordered, the customer is happy, and we get paid! If an ingredient is missing or the wrong ingredients are on it, the customer isn't so happy, and we don't get paid! It's tough, but that's the Pronto family's way of doing it...
