After two days at the World Boardgaming Championships, I am happy to say that I played 16 new games and expansions. I got to hang out with some friends, meet some people from Twitter, and tried a lot of games I’ve been aching to learn. There will be a more in-depth post later, and reviews of several of the games, but here are the new games (not expansions) that I got to play over the last two days: Château Roquefort Confusion: Espionage and Deception in the Cold War Crows Eruption Fürstenfeld Leaping Lemmings Lost Cities: The Board Game Mammut Revolver:...
It’s short notice, but my I’ll be heading to Lancaster, PA for the World Boardgaming Championships. I’m only going for the last three days of the convention, but I should have enough time to get some games played and reviewed once I return. I know that I’ll be hitting up the Dice Hate Me Games people to try out the new rules for Compounded, learn VivaJava: The Coffee Game from the designer, and hopefully try out Take the Bait and The Great Heartland Hauling Co. which are the next releases.

This may come as a shock to some of you, but I don’t actually sit down and game every waking hour. There are times where I’ll go days without playing a board game.

I don’t want to say I’ll buy a game just cause it’s pretty, but I have to admit that I have done just that in the past. I also really wanted to get a look at it, as one of my good friends is a Chemistry Grad Student. I saw that the game was coming out through Dice Hate Me Games and that they...
Wanted to make a special hello and welcome to everyone coming from DiceHateMe.com and really wanted to thank Chris (@DiceHateMe) for the shout out. I had a blast with his crew at Origins 2012 and can’t wait to see them all again. For those looking around, you can look at the games I teach and the companies I volunteer for, or ask me anything you’d like about gaming. I warn you, I’m sometimes a little harsh, but I’m always honest. If I don’t like something about a game, I will tell you up front. Every game is good for someone,...
