Normally I don’t really do traditional New Year’s resolutions. Instead I do a 100 x 1 challenge, where I try to play 100 new-to-me games in a year. This has lead to me playing a lot of different and fun games over the past few years, but in 2018, I’m going to change it up a bit.
I do a number of conventions each year – Unpub, Origins, Gen Con, and BGG.Con are the regular ones. I enjoy them all, but BGG.Con will always hold a special place for me. This year is no exception.
Okey Dokey is a small cooperative game where players are organizing animals playing instruments to do a performance. Should you give this game a chance, or just say, “Later, alligator”?
With The Path to Carcosa releasing this week, I thought taking a look at Arkham Horror: The Card game would be appropriate. There are a lot of things to consider for this game, so let’s see if it’s a good one for you to check out.
With Gen Con almost upon us, I feel it’s only fair to do my yearly reminder of the 6 2 1 system. If everyone follows these three simple rules, it’ll help make everyone’s convention that much better!
One of my favorite things about board games are the discussions after the game is put away. You talk about strategies, why you enjoyed the game, what you didn’t like, and all those fun little details that don’t generally make it into a review. I’ve decided to fix that with First Impressions!
