Review – Fugitive
I’ve been told that, as I get older, I’m going to look a lot like Tommy Lee Jones, only with more wrinkles (Editor: Talking to yourself doesn’t count). Why do I bring that up here, other than to let you know that I’m kind… Continue Reading “Review – Fugitive”
Expansion Review – Smash Up: Cease and Desist
If I keep on getting and reviewing Smash Up expansions, I’m going to have to come up with some creative openings that don’t all sound the same. Maybe make up some meta joke that will carry throughout the reviews? Not sure on that one.… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: Cease and Desist”
Expansion Review – Smash Up: Science Fiction Double Feature
As I’ve stated a few times before, Smash Up and I have a bit of a checked history. I actually almost traded it away because I found it fiddly and didn’t really care for it. Then I played it again and something just clicked.… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: Science Fiction Double Feature”
Review – The Fox in the Forest
I’m a big fan of trick-taking games, most especially the wonderful game Diamonds. But what happens when you’re sitting there with only one person, trying to figure out what game to play? You’re both fans of trick-taking games, but there are only two of… Continue Reading “Review – The Fox in the Forest”
Smash Up Goes to the 70s
(Edit – 12/20/19: For those of you finding this article in some other way, the review is up!) Smash Up is a game with a special place in my heart, mainly because it had to earn its way there. When I first played it,… Continue Reading “Smash Up Goes to the 70s”
Review – Hanamikoji
(Editor’s Note: Apparently there is conflicting information about whether Hanamikoji was a capital at any point. I took my description below directly from the BGG site for the game, but other information seems to contradict that.) Like any honest businessperson, we would all want… Continue Reading “Review – Hanamikoji”
Review – Smash Up
When you’re sitting down to watch The Walking Dead or some other zombie movie, what’s the first thing that goes through your mind? No, not “ohhh, ain’t Darryl hot?” The first thing that goes through my mind is that this show could use a… Continue Reading “Review – Smash Up”
Review – Okey Dokey
Sometimes when you sit down for a board game, you want something really deep and thinky. Something with meaty decisions where one bad choice will suddenly set you back for the rest of the game. Other times, you want something silly and fun. And… Continue Reading “Review – Okey Dokey”
New to Me – August 2017
August was the month of the Dragonflight convention (38th edition, see you there on the 39th maybe?) so it’s to be expected that I would get some new games in. But surprisingly, not as many as I expected. I did get a couple of… Continue Reading “New to Me – August 2017”
Review – No Thanks
I have fond memories of playing cards on Christmas Eve down at Grandma’s house. The Roy family would gather there, open their presents, have a lovely dinner, and then a bunch of us would get around the table and play cards. Usually Push Rummy… Continue Reading “Review – No Thanks”
