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!
May was a busy month, but in a good way. Lots of games got played, but not a lot of repeats, which means not much was done for reviews. But this sets me up for June to do reviews and talk about Origins. So let’s look back at May in review.
I enjoy games that involve a push your luck mechanic. The internal debate of taking another card or rolling the dice just one more time is a favorite, especially when it pays off. Stardock Games, known for their video games, has set sail into the world of board and card games with Dead Man’s Draw.
The button maker arrived and, as you can see, I’ve been a little busy making buttons inspired by comic books, Doctor Who, MineCraft, Star Trek, Looney Labs, Hell Boy, H. P. Lovecraft, Portal, Setters of Catan, and loads of other ideas. However, since the eventual goal is to sell these, do you see any you really like? Anything you’d like to see that I haven’t made? Leave a comment below and one lucky commenter will have a set of five buttons of their choice made and shipped to them! I’ll close the drawing at 11:59 PM on Monday, so you have all...
