Zafty is looking to get these two on BGA =)

We'll send the developer a bunch of swag.

Email me at frank@zaftygames.com.

edit: And we'll pay! Here are the BGG links for the games.

If this is a sales pitch then you're not going to sell anything.

What you did: Spend 1 minute of on a 3 line forum post, with no links, no descriptions, no please love you forever kind of community spirit kind of thing.
What you are asking: Please can someone spend 100+ hours of their time for me.

If you can't be bothered then why is anyone else?

RicardoRix, you are being pretty hard, really... Zafty games contacted us to offer some of their licences for BGA a while ago. If you read the last developer newsletter we sent the games were listed there (with links). Frank was just following up on that with a quick post on the forum.

Sure it takes time for developers to implement a game adaptation on BGA, but you know, I'm sure Zafty also spent a lot of time creating those games and making them ready to publish.

This is not a sales pitch, it is actually a nice offer to the community from a publisher who is also a long time member if you look at his profile. And with love included! Or did you miss the "We'll send the developer a bunch of swag!" line?

We'll pay as well to expedite the process. I love BGA, and really just want to play my own games on it!!!!!!!!!!

Did you want to do ToeShamBo?

It's a 2 player card game where you are playing Tic-Tac-Toe with cards, but instead of Xs and Os, you're playing with rocks, paper, and scissor. Each player has their own color coded deck of Rocks/Papers/Scissor as well as specialty cards like Undo and Bomb. The object of the game is to get three of your exact same card in a row.
