Ghooost! Review



This one was played and reviewed a while ago, but my friends at Iello properly pointed out that it hadn't made its way to here yet.  So here we are, just in time for Fall and Halloween!:

Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island Review

Do you ever watch Survivor and think: "I could do that.  And I'd win, too!" Yep.  I used to think that, until I played this game and then realized how quickly I would starve and freeze myself to death - and that's even WITH a full production and medical crew.

It has been known by many names, and will continue to be known as many until they just call it "The Lumberjack Game."

From the darling of the boardgame publishing world, Plaid Hat Games releases this deck-building, area-control, dudes on a map, hand management, victory point game.  You know, one of those.

My favorite 2-player game to play with Lady Rad.  She loves it, I love it, and I love the sound it makes.

Alcatra: The Scapegoat Review

Alcatraz, you make me angry.  I don't think that's what you were trying to do, but you did it.  Thanks a lot.

Quarriors: Quest of the Qladiator Review

The third expansion in my favorite deck/dice building game. Some may say the overuse of "Q's" is irritating; I say it's following the rule of comedy where something that becomes tired gets funny again if you do it long enough.  Plus, it doesn't hurt to have a game with Q's plastered all over it when you've got a daughter named Q! Enjoy!

Telltale Review

The bigger version of a game I found at the bottom of Mu and Q's kids' meal.  It introduced me to a great new game from a great family-friendly publisher.

Escape: The Curse of the Temple Review

A game for up to 5 players that plays in exactly 10 minutes, powered by a soundtrack, and is the most enjoyable anxiety you'll experience sitting at a table? Wait - this is a boardgame? Yep.  It sure is.

Lords of Vegas Review

Someone has to keep a list of underrated games.  If they do - put this as #1 with a bullet.  Lords of Vegas is everything fun about economic games with a heavy dose of negotiation and luck.  Love it Love it Love it.

Revolver 2 Review




From my friends at Stronghold Games comes this 2-player Wild West asymmetric card game.  Is it any good? Well, it comes with wooden sombreros, so that's a start!
