I had played a prototype of Dungeon Petz, so was curious to play the final version. I'm also a fan of Dungeon Lords and of Vlaada Chvatil, the designer.

Board Game: Dungeon Petz


As I've mentioned before, I'm a big fan of games dripping in theme. I'm also a fan of the creepycute (also like drawing creepycute creatures), so the idea of nurturing wee dungeon monsters had huge appeal to me.

I've heard many people say that they prefer Dungeon Petz to Dungeon Lords because the former enables them to have more control over game play, plus they found the rules to Dungeon Petz more straightforward.

Above: Don't let your pet cages get too poopy! The game actually comes with brown cubes, but someone helpfully donated these more realistic components.

HUGE thanks to

for being a fantastic teacher. Seriously. He also explained Kingdom Builder to me earlier in the day and was also brilliant then. I want to put Matthew in my pocket and take him with me to every board game event I attend from now on, but I suspect his family would object.

Anyway, thanks to Matthew and my other game partners:

I've been thinking about this a while, and have decided that it makes way more sense for me to have my board gaming blog here on BGG than my own servers.

So HERE I AM. :-)

I like the BGG blogging interface quite a bit, but I think I'm going to hold onto my BoardGameBook.com blog for now.

Uploading pics is easier for me for the latter. Plus ideally, I'd love to have a customisable text widget for my BGG blog where I can have links to related non-BGG content, like my non-gaming info/portfolio.

For now, I'm going to try doing some cross-linking and see how that goes, and will use my BGG blog to post bits that are very boardgamenerdy-specific. :-)
