I’m on the “No buy list”

Glory to Rome is a strategic game where the cards represent the actions you can perform, the buildings you can build, as well as the materials to build those buildings. I really enjoy games that feature this...

Demos at Gamers Haven in Parma Heights, Ohio!

I went to Gamers Haven in Parma Heights, OH, met with Willy the owner, and we set up a regular demo event. The first and third Saturdays I’ll be at the store around 1 PM with some games.
