Mayfair Game Day!

On January 19th at 1 PM I’ll be at Gamers Haven in Parma Heights, Ohio showing off a variety of games from Mayfair Games. I know playing a game with kids can be a challenge, but Catan: Junior does a great job of being fun and interesting for children and adults alike. Atlantis is a relative newcomer to Mayfair, but is one of my favorites. The interesting game play keeps me coming back for another game. Station Master is a personal favorite, and one I usually end up teaching when I volunteer with them at Origins and GenCon. Of course, I’ll have...

2012 – A year in reviews

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been thinking of how best to sum up 2012, both in terms of the games I’ve played and the things I’ve done. I played some new games released this year, but I’ve also played games that coming out next year and games that were new to me this year. Do I list my top plays of the year, even if they aren’t new games for me? After all the thinking, I believe I’ll do a little bit of everything. Listed below are the best games I played this year, for one reason or...

Holiday Game Bash!

Yesterday the local Meetup group, North Coast Gamers, held their annual Holiday Game Bash. Fifteen hours of gaming, demos, and give aways, and a silent auction. I got to sit down and teach Fleet, Pirate Dice, and Defenders of the Realm: Battlefields, and I also got to play a bunch of other games. Five matches of Android: Netrunner, a great six player game of 7 Wonders, a game of Chrononauts, and finished the night off with a game of Nefarious. It was a heck of a game day, and on top of all the wonderful games we got to play,...

It’s just a game!

Someone whose website I read for reviews recently decided he’d had enough. He deleted his website and Twitter accounts and has decided to make a major change to what he does and how he does it. Eric decided that he’d had enough of not getting enjoyment out of doing game reviews, and that the gamers have become jaded and there’s a trap when it comes to reviewing games. The Reviewer will only give good reviews because it means getting more games to review, and I understand his point, but it makes me feel like I need to clarify something. I have...
