King for a Day was a wonderful surprise. When I first reviewed the rules and looked at the cards, I figured the game would be light enough to play with just about everyone but not terribly loved by the Gamer Geek crowd. How wrong I was! Turns out everyone, from Child Geek to Gamer Geek, enjoyed the game and was ready for more. The game moves fast and feels exciting from the very first card to the very last!
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.
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, 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 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.
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.
