Review - Taste Of Poland (2015) - Bomba Games

Being of Polish heritage, when I saw this game show up at Essen last year, I thought, "This would be an interesting game to try..." Lo and behold, they came out with an english language version! Also, I would like to add, prior to the review, I feel Polish shame, because I have eaten zero of these items. Pirogi, Golumpki and Chrusciki did not make the cut.

It's Always Fun to Guess When You Play Guess....WU?

Last year, I stumbled across an article about a homemade game variant. The original game is known to all.  It's Guess Who? the venerable game of guessing faces that everyone, I'm sure, either played as a kid, or played with their kids. This, however was a version I was not expecting to find. This version is called Guess Wu?

Review - Pink Godzilla Dev Kit (2006) - Pink Godzilla Games

My son loves video games. He plays Minecraft the most, but he has played many, many other games (more games than my wife would be enthusiastic about, I'm sure). I came across this odd video game-themed boardgame in a auction listing on BGG and decided to check it out, After reading up on it a little, I decided to locate a copy for myself, and now I've decided to bump it up on the review list!

Lately, I have been looking for ways to redo the logo for the blog, generally make it look more aesthetically pleasing.  After some searching, I wound up on Fiverr.

Review - London After Midnight (2015) - Gen-X Games

The Blurb

Each player take a secret faction card, that will say if he is at the side of the "Heroes" or at the side of "Monsters". During the game, a player can either play a card from his hand or draw a new card. Each card will give you "black" points (if you are a Monster) or "white" points (if you are a Hero). Also, each card represents a character with a special skill that you can use in your favor. Dracula can control the forces of darkness. Van Helsing can destroy the undead. Frankenstein's monster can run havoc. Arsene Lupin can steal a card from another player. Jekyll and Hyde discard each other...

The game ends when the last card is drawn. Then, each player reveals his faction and count his points. There can be only one winner!

Pandemic : Betrayal Edition

Before I started in the hobby about 3 years ago, my best friend always talked about Pandemic. It is by far his favorite game. One night, at a mutual friend's house, he brought it and we decided to give it a try.  After he explained the rules, I excused myself and went to the bathroom. When I came back, the board was set up and they asked me if I wanted to start the game. I was more than happy to do so, and played my turn out with little fanfare. Mike and Mike both played, and when it was my turn again, I drew the epidemic card.  Bummer!
