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!

Fit Dad Lifestyle?

I got an email from Jason over at fitdadlifestyle.com who says he's just like me - a dad in his late 30s trying to find the time to stay in shape and be a good fitness role model to his kids.  Now I noticed from his website that he is exactly like me in every way - except that he owns his own gym and is built like Wolverine.  But he promises that by following his exercise routine that can be done at home and for minimal time each day (along with eating healthy), I too might look like Hugh Jackman. 

Can it work? Will it be done? Will I even have the resolve to be able to make it through the first week? Well, I've been toying with the idea of getting into P90X starting in the new year, so the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. (Matthew 26:41.)  I'm starting to chat with Jason to see whether it can be done and what the results are.  It looks like I may be humiliating myself on this blog shortly in the hopes of becoming fit.  Stay tuned.

In the meantime, check out Jason's site www.fitdadlifestyle.com and see for yourself his philosophy and story.

Throw your loved ones to the Zombie horde in the hopes of being the last guy standing.  Just the way a family should.


Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures Game Review

Holy... Moly...

Battlestar Galactica Express Review

This one may be a little obscure for most readers here, but if you need to know how to come by this title, just email me.  I'm happy to hook you up with the guy who produced this for me.


Sunrise City Review

Quite possibly one of my favorite games to play with gamers and non-gamers alike.  A classic in the making if there ever was one.
