You read the rules. You were drowned in hype and raving reviews. You are annoyed by the pre-order hold-up and are suffering from withdrawal symptoms even though you never really played Agricola.

I came home from work today and my 2 year old daughter grabbed my hand and walked me to a room where she had set up a game. She said to me, "Dad... do you wanna play RATTLE-SNAKE?" She tightens up her face and clenches her fists when she says "Rattlesnake." This was the 3rd day in a row that I ha...

We play a lot of games at our house; mostly, the heavy stuff gets played after my two-and-a-half year old son Ben's bedtime, but he usually pops out at least once to see what's on the table. (He requested Ticket to Ride by name recently, having seen it played once... so far, he hasn't requested Die ...

I ran the first My Eyes! My Eyes Contest just about the same time last year and it was a lot of fun so I thought I'd do it again. There used to be a lot more of these types of contests but they have slowed down considerably over the years. Hopefully, this will bring back some of the fun!THE CONTEST:...

I’ve had StarCraft: The Board Game since its initial release in late October, 2007. Since that time, it has become the clear champion of my humble board game collection. Before I get to the review itself however, here’s a little background on my gaming history.I initially got into boardgaming becaus...

As many people on BGG know... I have no talent. But I am lucky enough to have enough charisma to convince others to let me post their AMAZING work on BGG. I have gotten some wonderful feedback from members on the pictures that I have found and posted... but I was going through my images and I notice...

We broke out the new Blackbeard for a four player first game last night. Boring History of Blackbeard In Our GroupTwo of us were very familiar with the Avalon Hill edition, having virtually committed the entire rulebook to memory and playing the pantaloons off it years ago. In fact, we even submit...

Lists have been made ranting about stupid customers. That's not exactly what this list is for.I work in a game store. I'm at work right now, in fact. Since starting here, I have noticed customers doing strange things with the games on demo. They attempt to use them in ways that are not the inten...

That review is now completely rewritten, re-edited, expanded, and updated with a special focus on Risk: Black Ops. I must admit I am biased towards admiring t...

It was on a specific date, at a specific time, and at a particular place: "We'll play Top Secret."What's that," I asked."Its a role-playing game," answered my good friend Mark B."What's that.""You like pretend...

Meuterer (Mutineer, pronounced MOY-ter-er) is a lesser known game, partly because it has never been translated from its original German, and partly because it comes in the form of a small deck of cards. Don't let that fool you. It is, indeed, a board game; there are no trump suits or tricks. For tho...
