Smash Up Goes to the 70s

Review – Imhotep
I really seem to have an affinity for Ancient Egypt. I’ve played around with burying things and trying to earn the regard of the Pharaoh. But now I want to become an architect! It’s always been my dream, since I couldn’t become a lumberjack.… Continue Reading “Review – Imhotep”
Review – Hanamikoji

First Impressions – Modern Art
I’m not a huge fan of auction games. I’m just not great at figuring out value for money and deciding when to stop bidding on something. Probably why I don’t do the family finances. For some reason, though, the first time I played Modern… Continue Reading “First Impressions – Modern Art”
