It’s been a great week for me personally as I’ve been picked to be part of Team Geek at this year’s BGG.Con. Woohoo! I will be volunteering my time at the event (I had so much fun last year) and will get a snazzy BGG jersey with my name on it. You can get convention tickets here. It’s …
I haven’t been this excited to talk about a particular game in a while. Granted, I’m always excited to talk about board games, but this one in particular, I’m uber excited to share. Which game is it? Twilight Struggle. Twilight Struggle is ranked No. 1 for board games, war games and strategy games on boardgamegeek.com. …
This next game has actually gotten a lot of play among all my social circles. Incan Gold is a fun push-your-luck game where you are exploring a temple for gold and treasures. It plays out over five rounds, and the game is about 20 minutes long. The goal is to have the most treasures after …
There are a number of gamers out there who refuse to play cooperative games. I get it … if you’re going to spend hours playing a game, you want there to be one clear winner, preferably yourself. I myself don’t mind some cooperative games (you all know I have much love for Arkham Horror). But recently …
Many board games list a minimum 2 players for the game, but in reality, you often a need a third or fourth person for the game to have some depth and playability. That isn’t the case for Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small. This game, designed by board-game genius Uwe Rosenberg, is a spin-off of …
One of the oldest games I own is Agricola. It’s a classic worker-placement strategy game by one of my favorite designers Uwe Rosenberg, who I mentioned in my post about Le Havre. I love Agricola so much that I played it twice this past weekend. Each player starts with a farmer and a spouse, meaning you …
Last Saturday was my first all-day Game Day of the year. It was nice to get back into the swing of things, especially since I felt like the new year came and went so quickly because I got sick. I attended Game Day with my biweekly group, and boy did I get a lot of gaming …
Hey folks! Let’s talk Five Tribes, a game I just received from Christmas. It’s a 2-4 player game that lasts about 60 mins. I swear though, it really should’ve been a 5-player game since it is called Five Tribes. But I digress. The tribes are actually the different colored meeples in play for the game. …
So it’s been a crazy few weeks with the holiday season and then me getting sick. But now I’m back to 100 percent and trying to make up for lost gaming time. I totally get cranky when I don’t game at least twice a week. First off, I received Five Tribes for Christmas from my …
Hi, people of the Internet! Hope you guys had a wonderful holiday season. Sorry for the lack of posts here, but I got really sick near the tail end of my Christmas vacation, and have basically spent the last week sleeping off that horrible flu/cold/cough virus. I’ve only recently started to feel like myself again. Anyway, I …
