Say Anything Family Edition Game Review

President Franklin D. Roosevelt said, "There are as many opinions as there are experts." Everyone has an opinion, even if they say they don't have an opinion, which is technically an opinion. With so many people having different points-of-view, who can say who is right and who is wrong? Simply put, the majority, but even the majority cannot force a single individual to think differently. In this game, you don't need to change the opinions of others, but you do need to consider how others think to win!

Pet Detectives Game Review

An alarming number of pets have gone missing in town. Their owners are desperate to find their missing companions and are offering big cash rewards to whomever finds them.

In Review: Father Geek’s Monthly Newsletter (April 2014)

March was a surprisingly busy month for my family. Pinewood Derby car races, cleaning up a yard full of no less than 4 months of frozen dog poop (I have found a new circle of Hell, by the way), and the various activities that come with raising 3 active children. In short, a typical month with an atypical amount of energy spent to get through it. Thank Odin for caffeine!

Table Golf Game Review

I believe Golf is fundamentally flawed. You have to pay to play a game that is all about taking a walk, while attempting to hit a very small ball into a very small hole with a metal stick. To me, that's the very definition of insanity. Many believe differently, however. Oddly enough, I have no problem playing Golf-like games. For example, Disc Golf or this game, which is all about chucking small cards.

King’s Ransom Game Review

Chess is a game that fills some with dread, some with boredom, and many with excitement. It's a game played around the world, in grade schools, playgrounds, and in homes by the young and old alike. Cards and card games are even more popular and are much less intimidating. You are more likely to play a card game than a Chess game on any given occasion. Imagine if you could blend Chess and cards together. Would get something made of elements that represent the best of both games or something entirely different? Let's find out.

Going, Going, GONE! Game Review

Marcus Aurelius said, "Look beneath the surface; let not the several quality of a thing nor its worth escape thee." We are immediately drawn to BIG, BOLD, and FLASHY things. Kind of like a moth to a flame. It's only after our mania subsides that we take stock and realize that all that glitters is far from gold. In this game, expect to be swept up in the excitement of the bid and then immediately feel buyer's remorse.
