Columbia Game Review

In the 17th and 18th century, North American was seen as a land full of adventure and profit. Two great companies saw this clearer than anyone and established fur trading posts up and down major water thoroughfares to capitalize on the territory's vast wealth of resources. Many came to try their hand at trapping and trading in hopes of making a fortune. You are one of those hopeful individuals. If you are smart, you will be rich, but you'll need your wits about you to defeat the competition!

Gooey Louie Game Review

My wife and I did a quick count. We determined we utter the phrase, "get your fingers out of your nose" no less than 10 times a day to our little geeks. Of course, we are only counting the times that we catch them in the act. Nose picking is considered to be rude in many cultures, dirty, and for the young, a means to obtain a tasty treat. Regardless of how you feel about it, we all do it. It was only a matter of time before a game designer looked at society and said, "hey, I can make some money here."

Swords & Heroes Game Review (prepublished version)

As the fog of the morning slowly lifts from the battlefield, the two opposing forces face each other. From afar, their opponent's strength is hard to determine. The officers know that the true strength of their enemy can't be measured until they can see the whites of their eyes. Giving the order to advance, one and then both armies slowly move towards one another. On this day, many will fight and die for a cause they believe in. FOR BLOOD AND HONOR!

Tower Game Review

The ruler of the desert kingdom looked down on the map and frowned. Surrounding his small country were well-traveled regions, and yet, his small domain remained unnoticed. No more, he vowed, and he called for his underlings to attend him. He decreed that a royal invite would be sent out to all the land calling for skilled craftsman to build the tallest tower the world has ever seen! Having such a tower would certainly bring wealth to his kingdom and the craftsman who built it!

Wordner Game Review

Have you ever tried to finish another person's sentence for them? For example, I might say, "Boy, am I hungry! Let's go get some-" and then you interrupt by blurting out, "FISH TACOS!" In this example, you'd be correct. I love me some fish tacos, but most of the time the phrasing that is forcefully injected into another person's incomplete thought is seldom accurate. This often has hilarious consequences for all within earshot.

Little Bighorn Rummy Game Review (prepublished version)

The Battle of Little Bighorn, which took place on June 25th and June 26th 1876, between the forces of the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army and the combined forces of Lakota, Northern Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes, has been studied extensively by historians. An overwhelming victory for the Native Americans, led by war leaders Crazy Horse and Chief Gall, and inspired by the visions of Sitting Bull, continues to live on through stories and scholarly debate to this day.
