Pizza Theory Game Review

Leave a comment

Ordering a pizza should be an easy exercise, but what if you can’t get everyone to agree on what kind of pizza? Instead of compromising, you should handle the situation the Geek Way! Dominate your opponent with your toppings of choice, slice out the competition and gain control over more and more of the pizza! In the end there can be only one..topping. Of course, you could always just order another pizza, but that’s not the point I’m trying to make here. Continue reading →

Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, four NEW and somewhat less loved character types, Vampires, Werewolves, Fairies, and Witches, battle for control! But this is no ordinary battle! Vampires will become Werewolves (wait…is such a thing possible?), Werewolves will become Fairies (as silly as that sounds), and Witches pretty much become whatever they want because you just know there is a spell that allows them to do it. Cheaters… Continue reading →

Zombie Ninja Pirates Game Review

Zombie Ninja Pirates is a fun little game which is most certainly in the “beer and pretzels” category or, for our little geeks, “apple juice and graham crackers”. It’s meant to be a “flash in the pan” type of game where you plop it out on the table, play a few games, and then move on without having to exercise a large percentage of our brain. In this, the game does exceedingly well. Continue reading →

Roll the dice and take a chance! Shake Out! is all about balancing risk vs. reward. Do it right and there is no stopping you, but don’t get too cocky.

To play this game right, you’ll have to push your own limits to ensure you get the cards you need, playing both defensively and offensively. Come up short, and you’ll be left far, far behind!
