A Gaming Life
Another day (ok, month), another Smash Up expansion. You’d think that was all I played. Granted, it does get played twice a month because of a regular workplace get-together, but I do play more games than that! With two expansions a year, there doesn’t… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: That 70s Expansion”
July was vacation month. I was off the entire month and was away from my normal game group for half of the month. Thus, it’s not surprising that I only played two “new to me” games in July. But tell that to the rabble… Continue Reading “New to Me – July 2019”
I can’t believe I missed this. This blog could almost be called the Smash Up blog (especially after last week’s review of the first World Tour expansion) but yet somehow this news escaped me. Yes, I already knew (and probably mentioned) that the next World… Continue Reading “World Tour: Culture Shock Coming Soon”
It’s hard to quantify just how much enjoyment Smash Up has given to me, especially in the middle of a long work day when it’s just fun to sit down with two co-workers and try (and usually fail) to kick their asses. In a… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: International Incident”

(Edit: 5/7/20 – I forgot to link to the review when I posted that they’ve updated the app. It’s still not awesome, but it’s not bad anymore. And it’s temporarily (as of this writing) free!) There’s something to be said for seeing ages and… Continue Reading “App Review – Tides of Time”
What other game other than Smash Up would allow you to see what would happen if such varied things such as Cowboys, Monsters, and Teddy Bears got into a big fight? I think that’s one of the things I love about the game, even… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: Oops, You Did It Again”
Bezier Games is most well-known for tile-laying games like Suburbia or Castles of Mad King Ludwig. Or, even more recently, the incredibly variable One-Night series (like One-Night Ultimate Werewolf or One-Night Ultimate Alien). Now, my world has just shifted off of its axis. Bezier has now announced the release… Continue Reading “Going Against Type – Bezier Games to Release CABO Card Game”
