I have entered the modern age. I have an HDTV and a Blu-Ray player. When we were at Best Buy checking out our options, Shannon got distracted by the XBOX One display. The graphics were amazing. It made me want to grab a controller and play along. When I got home, I googled prices for…
Today was the best day of the year so far – I just got my tax refund back. My first “I really shouldn’t spend money, but I have all this new found funds” purchase was a game. A more lavish buy will hopefully happen in the next couple days, but for now this was a…
I like Kickstarter for the main reason that it give the people the opportunity to back someone who either wouldn’t have the funds or saves them the months/years of trying to find a company to back their project. This goes for games, music, movies and anything else you can help fund. However there have been…
Flash Point: Fire Rescue is a great game. I have a soft spot for cooperative games. While it takes away the fun part of beating someone else, winning as a team also feels good. Losing as a team however doesn’t always sting as much as getting beat by your competitor. Flash Point is the first…
A trip to Game Master Games yielded these gems: – Zombie Dice 2: Double Feature – Munchkin Gets Promoted (Card Pack)
One game I kept hearing about in my travels was Forbidden Island. I didn’t hear much about the object of the game, but the name would always pop up. Eventually I watched the Tabletop video about it and was intrigued. I was on BoardGameGeek and saw that there was a version of it in the…
Kickstarter is a great concept. I had heard about it for a long time & I backed my first project when my favorite artist was trying to make a record. After that I still didn’t pay too much attention to it. But after playing Tammany Hall (a kickstarter backed game) with a bunch of my…
While my new focus on board games is relatively new, i have always enjoyed playing them. Monopoly, Sorry, Scategories and of course Life. There are many variations of these classic games, especially Monopoly, that are based around some pop culture theme. The first one I have ever picked up is the game Life based around…
Everyone says that Ticket To Ride is the new Monopoly. Despite it not taking six hours to play, I might have to somewhat agree. In this recent game resurgence, this is the title that comes up every time someone talks about what games you would play with someone starting out. So when I saw an…
Obviously the more games you buy, the larger your collection grows. And as easy as it is to increase your collection, the space where you store everything doesn’t always easily adjust. Like many people, my board games currently live in my closet. They are stacked on a top shelf and I struggle to not have…
This was one of the first games I picked up when I began to start getting into games this year. When I buy a game now, I do some research and check out reviews. This, however, was more of a “judge a book by it’s cover” type purchase. I saw it and thought i could…
Another Christmas present, but this time one I received. I have had my eye on Carcassonne for a while now. I saw it at my store and did a little research and found out that it is a great two player game. So on my Christmas list it went and I was not disappointed. Carcassonne…
The first game I’m going to talk about on here is Quoridor. The story about how I found this game is that I was looking for a place besides my job and besides online to buy games. So I found this game shop out on the island Game Master Games that I wanted to check out.…
Over past last year, I have slowly become a board game person. I have always enjoyed playing games. Monopoly is my jam….even though no one ever wants to play that six hour monstrosity. I’ve gone to game nights with friends. I’ve played uno matches that last for hours. However all my previous game experience had…
