Review – Würfel Bohnanza

There’s something to be said for a really good filler game, one that can be really short or longer if you have the time, but it doesn’t take much energy or too much thought. There’s also something to be said for a good dice… Continue Reading “Review – Würfel Bohnanza”

Imhotep expansion – Eine neue Dynastie coming in October

I’m a big fan of the 2016 game Imhotep, the quick and easy game where you’re building monuments in ancient Egypt for points. It’s so good and easy that my non-gamer co-worker played it and loved it.

Review – Favor of the Pharaoh

Playing dice games out in the middle of the desert can be a trying task. You throw the dice and they just land without actually rolling. “Look! I just got seven 6s!!!!” “Nonsense, you just tossed them there!” Not to mention that it’s hot.… Continue Reading “Review – Favor of the Pharaoh”

New to Me – March 2017

March was actually a very good month for “new to me” games, and I even managed to hit three 2017 games in there! The year is off to a good start. Pretty much everything was light, filler stuff (which is never a bad thing… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2017”

Review – Diamonds

(Edit: This is one of my Top 25 Games Played of all Time, as of February 2019 anyway. Check out the other games as well!) Everybody knows those standard card games. Hearts, Spades…of course the world needs games for the other suits, don’t they?… Continue Reading “Review – Diamonds”
