UFO Hunter 2nd Edition Game Review (prepublished version)

Only crazy people talk about government cover-ups and conspiracies in public. No sane individual would want to draw that kind of attention to themselves with so many unfriendly alien eyes watching. You know all about the stealth helicopters and the mind control. You have learned to read the real story between the lines in the newspapers. Soon, you'll have enough evidence to expose it all, but not yet. This is a game of hunting for facts and being hunted. Be careful.

That’s It! Game Review

Sometimes, there are multiple answers to a single question. For example, if I were to ask you what tool is found in a tool box, the number of correct answers is more than I care to count. But what if I were to tell you that I'm only looking for one specific tool that answers the question? Well, now, that's a bit different, isn't it? In this game of logical deduction and quick wit, players will be asked a question that has many correct answers but only one that is right!

Belle of the Ball Game Review (prepublished version)

To socialites, it's very important to be seen at the right time, at the right place, wearing the right apparel. Just as important is who you are seen with. When it comes time to organize a large social gathering, getting the best caterer is just as important as getting the right guests. In this game, you must compete with other socialites to claim people of importance in hopes of creating the perfect party. The stakes could not be higher. Everyone of importance is watching and gossiping.

Fluxx: The Board Game Review

It's in our nature to attempt to control the uncontrollable. It's a hopeless venture. We define and categorize the unexplainable, create rules that can be broken, and lie to ourselves to create new truths. One could say this is a rather bleak way to look at things, but I find it fascinating. How else can one navigate the tempest to obtain control without first defining their place in the chaotic maelstrom? In this game, chaos is an agent of change and a path to victory.
