It takes a lot of blood sweat and tears for developers to release beautifully performing and polished games. Nothing is ever perfect on the first try ? this is why developers are always looking for beta testers. If you are interested in joining a beta test, head on over to our Upcoming Games forums where you are sure to find a game that sounds like fun to try. I play quite a few games in beta myself; not only can my feedback help a developer, I also get a sneak peek at games I may like to review later.
Wanting to help developers and share these awesome upcoming games with you all is how BetaWatch was born in my mind. It's not a definitive list, or even a best of list, rather it's just a quick look at the games I've been playing in beta last week. So, what did I play last week and what did I think of them" Read on and find out.
 
Rummy Club

Rummy Club, join the beta here, was the first beta game of my week. I like a good card-based game and honestly (perhaps embarrassingly so) one of my favorite board games growing up was Rummikub and that is exactly what this game is based on. You get an allocation of tiles and the goal is to be the first player to meld all their tiles. The melds need to be three or more tiles and can be either a run of numbers in the same color or three matching numbers of different colors.
You need your initial melds to add up to thirty, after this you can piggyback your tiles onto other people's melds and move tiles around on the board to you...
