Terra is the newest game from Bruno Faidutti/Days of Wonder. I was very curious about the game because the theme was "save the world" against various problems...
Anyone who reads my reviews should be able to tell that I'm a big fan of fluff and theme. I believe that a light, "fluffy" game can be a lot of fun,...
Party games hold a special place in my game collection. Very few of them I consider my favorite games, but there is a time and place for them. Whenever I'm...
Let me rant a little about my day on Saturday. Tom, Bob and I ventured down to a Korean gaming convention on the far side of Seoul. Once there we noticed a...
One thing has always remained consistent for me about the Kosmos two-player line – I have enjoyed playing all of them. Some of them, like Lost Cities and...
I have a soft spot for Blue Box games, as I've found them very fun, and good to play with a larger group of players. I'm also a sucker for Western themes, as...
If you're not already in it, Joe, this seems like a good place to pour your anger from the wretched Formula De game into ;) I myself will be away from Seoul on...
I've never liked Risk. I think it mostly has to do with the fact that I never played it as a child and didn't touch it until after I had played other light...
I played Risk 2210 about a year ago with a friend at a game cafe in Seoul. It took us an hour and a half to set it up and understand the rules, and about 40...
I often have a good feel for a game, after reading its instructions, as to how it will be received by the different groups I play with. Occasionally, I'm dead...
I've always had a soft spot for Stratego. Although I rarely play the game anymore, it was the first game I ever played where I felt total control over whether...
Apparently Lord of the Rings game needs a colon, and then a cool description. So far, we had LOTR: The Confrontation, LOTR: The Search, and now LOTR: The Duel...
After a fair amount of office-facility abuse and hours of work, I finished a homemade copy of King of the Tabletop, a classic game by Tom Wham. This is silly...
When I was a child, I was always fascinated by the World Almanac my father bought each year. One of the pages that fascinated me the most was the full-color...
As fun as board games are, sometimes you just need to get out and do some physical exercise. Sports don't excite me that much, but paintball is an exception....
While dinosaurs are very popular in movies and books, I cannot immediately think of any game about dinosaurs other than Evo. The theme of Trias is about...
There are a LOT of filler games available nowadays, so many that some of them never make it to the table. The bar has been raised, and a filler has to be...
Battle of the Bands was one of the bigger surprises to me this year, when trying new games. Sure, it was fluffy and light, with lots of luck and fun – but I...
The old adage is that "You can't judge a book by its cover." These may be words of wisdom, but let's face it – most people DO judge books, games, movies,...
I play in a variety of settings – my hard-core gaming group, in a serviceman's center, with the youth group, with my game club at school, and with pretty...
When I first heard about Days of Wonder's newest game, Ticket to Ride (Days of Wonder, 2004 – Alan Moon), I was excited. But how could I not be – for all...
YA, YA, YA, I have been lazy and have not posted a "Manly-Man" review in a month but what do you think I am? Mr. Vaseline? Some of us have a life other than...
Hey guys, I was gonna ask this to Tom directly, but I figured that since Tom and Joe and Shin all read this site, I may as well ask this openly. My girlfriend...
Hi guys, Dive Dice has a bulletin board for selling used games. One guy there is selling Capitol, Condittorre, Rijule (spelling? the ravensburger 2 player...
One of the more popular titles over in the States is Attika - the Raleigh group in the States played it five times in one night - I think it is a strong...
I'm not thrilled with Richelieu. And while Vom Kap bis Kairo is a good, surprising game system-wise, it's rather hard to get it in the first play so this may...
