I finally got my hands on a copy of Quadropolis (thanks to my Friendly Local Game Store Game Depot), and I can’t wait to get it on table. I first played Quadropolis over a month ago at a game night at the Game Boy Geek’s, and I seriously have been counting down toward the game’s April 29 release …
I attended another Game Night with the awesome Game Boy Geek, and we ended up playing this super quick, super fun card game called Happy Salmon. It’s a five-minute game that plays up to 6 people. This is seriously the most fun I’ve had playing a party card game. And, there’s video evidence of said fun … …
I recently had two back-to-back weekend events with my core group of friends. During the first weekend, I introduced them to Sushi Go! and Survive: Escape from Atlantis! (I just now noticed that these two game titles both have exclamation points in their names). Both games were a big hit with my friends, so much so that two …
So I’m a total sucker for all things cute … and giant pandas are no exception. Takenoko itself is a solid medium-heavy game that I’m always down to play, so when I saw an online deal on the Takenoko Collector’s Edition last year, I quickly jumped on that cuddly bad boy. It quite possibly is the …
My one gaming group had a farewell game day for one of my close friends, who is leaving town with his wife and baby to be near family. It was a bittersweet day knowing that in over a week, they won’t all be in Phoenix anymore. The last game we played that night was The Grizzled, fitting for a …
In the spirit of Cthulhu, I felt like I had been devoured last week. I had the most insane week, and I’m thankful for being surrounded by people who care about me and who, at the drop of a hat, help me out … like say when you have plumbing issues, need a new kitchen faucet, and your laundry room …
I purchased Orleans with my game winnings when I was at Strategicon, and I’ve played this game twice already within the past week. It has quickly become a game-night favorite. Orleans plays 2-4 people and lasts about 90 minutes. It’s a medium-heavy worker-placement bag-building game, and, best of all, it isn’t too hard to teach. A friend of mine …
I can’t believe it’s been a week since Strategicon! I’m seriously having convention withdrawal. My Phoenix friend and I decided to go to OrcCon for two very different reasons. I wanted to play Virgin Queen, which was slated for 11 hours of game play, and he wanted to play Mega Civilization, which was slated for 14 …
If you follow me on Instagram, you saw that last Friday I got to meet the Game Boy Geek himself, play games are his house and bask in the glory of his awesome board-game room. How cool is that?! I seriously still get starstruck when I meet folks from the Internet who are very active in …
I’ve been going back and forth on what to write for this week, which explains the lag. It’s not that I haven’t been doing any board gaming; it’s actually quite the opposite! I’ve been doing a lot of gaming in the past week or so but it’s nothing new that I haven’t written about. So …
