Bob S., a reader of Father Geek, has sent us a question asking if we can offer any suggestions on how to best store games. Is there a best way to store games? Perhaps, but when you take into consideration space, collection size, and personal preference to how a game should or should not be stored, there is no single good answer. But we do have suggestions!
Here's a fun fact. I once contributed to a comic. Well, technically, one release of a comic strip and it never went anywhere despite the illustrator and I having "big dreams" about our work. I was the writing talent and my friend, Brian Fyffe, was the talented illustrator. We worked very well together as we had the same humor, liked the same things, and agreed that I could not draw myself out of a wet paper sack, let alone draw something that resembled a wet paper sack.
The game is very much like RoboRally in the sense that is makes the players think ahead and visualize what the game will look like in the near future. I personally love games like this and Pirate Dice is no exception. Each game is different, even when playing with the same opponents. The random map set up and the random available maneuvers makes each game feel fresh. I couldn't be happier with the game and expect it to become one of the top pirate games played in my house for many years.
Why did the chicken cross the road? Many scholars since time immemorial have ponder this and we might never know. Until this question is answered, I am more than happy to keep playing this game with my little geeks and with friends when a light game of risk and luck is just right for the mood and the players. If nothing else, the game has taught me that chickens really are simple creatures and a lot of fun.
Star Wars is more than just a movie franchise. For some, it is a lifestyle. For others, it is their "go to" quoted movie to help break the ice at parties. So many people know about Star Wars that you see the movie's influences in many different ways. Literature, songs, art, and now food.
To quickly recap, I was asked to try a new toothbrush and tell you what I thought of it. Admittedly, not the "norm" for our site, but I'm willing to give anything a try and goodness knows I love writing. It was with some amusement, then, that I took on the responsibility of testing out the new Oral-B ProfessionalCare SmartSeries 5000 with SmartGuide.
