One Day West Games is the work of designers Bob Craig and Ryan Craig, with art by Alisha Volkman. Their three games here could hardly be more different: a family race, a two-player duel, and a real-time dice scramble.
Monster Highway (2018, 2 to 4 players, ages 8 and up). Lay road tiles from ground zero to your home base while a radioactive alligator turned monster flattens roads and cars. The dice decide whether you build, drive, or wake the monster. Winner of a Hidden Gem award.
Canosa (2020, 2 players, ages 8 and up, about 20 minutes). An abstract strategy game in which each player is a Siren from Greek myth, using rings as her voice to capture shipwrecked sailors and call them home. The first to bring back four sailors wins.
Maize Craze (2023, 2 to 6 players, ages 8 and up, about 30 minutes). Everyone rolls and places dice at the same time to trace the paths on a shared maze card. Six rounds, points for correctly placed dice, and a bonus for the first one out.
The Monster Highway plush is the monster himself, about 12 inches tall, for anyone who ends up rooting for him.
