Even Pretty Girls Fart Book Review

While I cannot endorse Even Pretty Girls Fart to another parent, I have no problem suggesting it to a little geek. Reading is more than just a means to educate oneself. It is also meant to entertain. This book certainly does that based on the chuckles I hear from the other room whenever my little geeks read the book. Put it in front of an adult, and they simply don't understand the story or its intent. Put it in front of a little geek, and they all but applaud.

Bop It! XT Game Review

If you enjoy action/dexterity games where memorization and color matching are needed, I highly suggest you give Bop It! XT a try. If you are not that kind of person, feel free to dislike Bop It! XT as I am pretty sure the feeling is mutual. This game likes making you feel bad.

Star Wars Fighter Pods Toy Review

Star Wars Fighter Pods, spanning all six films and the animated Clone Wars, is comprised of sets of micro-sized miniatures and plastic "pods" that open to hold one miniature within. From a toy perspective, clearly they are a hit with the little geeks. From the Parent Geek perspective, I greatly appreciate the time and attention put into the miniatures and the wide variety of characters included.

Belfort Game Review

Belfort is a great game, great fun, and wonderfully challenging. I recommend Belfort to Gamer Geeks but only if they enjoy worker placement games. The game has lots of bits, demands a lot from its players, and takes about 2 hours to complete. Mental stamina is a must as every round is as important as the last and the players must constantly be engaged in the game in order to be competitive.

Eminent Domain Game Review

Expand your galactic empire and colonize distant planets or beat them into submission! I am very pleased with Eminent Domain and believe it will be a game requested by family and friends for a good long time. The learning curve is not difficult and the game play becomes fairly intuitive very quickly. Add in the game's excellent production value and you have a deck-building strategy game well worth your time.

Dog Collector Game Review

I found Dog Collector to be an enjoyable game, especially when I am used to much heavier and lengthier games. It was a refreshing change of pace to learn and teach a light game after teaching heavier games to my little geeks. In fact, I think the game somewhat recharged our batteries.
