Update on Ogre, 6th Edition from Steve Jackson Games
In January 2010, Steve Jackson Games posted a mock cover image from Ogre, 6th Edition. On March 16, in SJG’s Daily Illuminator post, Phil Chapman revealed a prototype vehicle from the new edition of this 30+-year-old combat game, noting that the vehicle was composed of thin laser-cut wood.
Chapman didn’t include a release date for the new edition as it’s still in the works, but he did say this: “It’ll be bigger – both in scale and weight – and more impressive than any previous edition. This will be a celebration of the 30th anniversary of the game’s first release, so we were not content just incorporating the maps, units, and rules from GEV,” GEV being a companion game to Ogre. The Munchkin figures being attacked by the tank? They’re just masochists.
This game has been added to Gone Cardboard.

Despite being a dyed-in-wool eurogamer, I’m excited! Ogre was a formative game for me and I’d love to play it again in a new version that is - hopefully - updated for the modern era. Posted by E.R. Burgess on Mar 20, 2010 at 02:08 AM | #
