Just got my Demo Copy of Oz Fluxx in the mail. Looks really cool and has a great theme to it. 25 promo cards to give out to everyone who I teach, a poster and teaching playmat, and a special coin for the official launch of the game on March 23rd. If you run a game store in Northeast Ohio or know of a store that wants someone to come by and teach games, hand out promos, and bring in business, please let me know!

I’ll be teaching Incan Gold, What’s My Word?, and Pastiche tonight at Recess Games in the Great Lakes Mall in Mentor. Come on by, bring your friends, and check out the games!

What’s My Word? is a 2 player word game that plays a lot like the puzzle game Mastermind, but with 26...
No, not over 9,000, as the meme would imply, but my game collection has grown to over 800 items. Granted, I’m counting every expansion and every promo and everything else separately, as well as orders that are on their way, but it’s still over 800. I always tell people I have a lot of games. I explain that I have over 800, and I usually get the question, “They make 800 games?” with a look of shock on their faces. As I am a detail oriented person (I keep track of my games, so that’s a surprise), here are some...
Drove over to Toledo yesterday for BashCon, a smaller gaming convention that takes place every February. I took two friends with me as well. We went, saw some old friends from past Origins, and then sat down and learned some new games. First was Rocket Jockey from Mayfair Games. We did a three player game, and it took us a little while to get going, but we were also catching up with friends. Once we got the rules we got wrong corrected, the game went pretty quickly. I think it’s a good game, would work well with kids, and is...
