Tricked-Out Hero Game Review (prepublished version)

Josh Billings said, "Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well." In this tick taking trump card game, your hero will live or perish based on how well you play your cards. Winning or loosing a trick could mean the difference between epic loot or a messy death. Fantasy meets trump in this card game that pits your wits against monsters and your opponents!

Gridstones Game Review

Edward de Bono said, "Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way." But a human mind cannot help but look for and establish patterns as part of its process of incorporating information. Cause and effect are two essential principles that help us learn and adapt. In this game, you must find the patterns, but at the same time, break them to find what you are looking for!

Hegemonic Game Review

Peace throughout the galaxy was maintained by a powerful few, but nothing lasts forever. When the great leaders passed, the ideals they attempted to instill in their people began to fade.

Allies wage political battles while warring space fleets explode in the vacuum of space. Lead your people to their destiny or their doom.

We become more than what we once were each time we take a step forward. The definition of success is personal and highly subjective. For some, it's wealth and for others, power. In this game, success is survival.

Transformers Construct-Bots Toy Review

Ever since the mid 1980's, I have been fascinated with the Transformers. As a child, I played with them for countless hours, acting out epic wars with my brothers and friends. As a parent, I get to play with the "robots in disguise" with my little geeks. Throughout the years, I have seen many Transformers introduced to the market.
