Caveman Curling is a great mix of classic flick-action game play with a fun theme and interesting uses of special pieces. The game is a fun one and has kept my family, friends, and me engaged, frustrated, and elated over and over again. If that's not worth two thumbs up, I don't know what is.
Board, card, and dice games come with lots and lots of bits. Keeping track of all those pieces can be a chore. This is especially true when you get your little geeks involved! One Motherly Geek has come up with a solution and a system that works for her, despite the "help" her twin toddlers insist on giving her.
Ordering a pizza should be an easy exercise, but what if you can't get everyone to agree on what kind of pizza? Instead of compromising, you should handle the situation the Geek Way! Dominate your opponent with your toppings of choice, slice out the competition and gain control over more and more of the pizza! In the end there can be only one..topping. Of course, you could always just order another pizza, but that's not the point I'm trying to make here.
Fantasy is the new western. The guys in the black hats have been replaced by the army with black clouds overhead. But is all this fantasy stuff really good for kids? I will state emphatically that it is! Just as I learned from westerns a thing or two about honor and fighting for your beliefs against seemingly insurmountable odds, my son has learned the same from fantasy.
Think you know all there is to know about the United States, geography wise? Want to test that assumption? Sit down at the table and be the first to find and slap a State that matches a random condition, but it's not all about how much you know. Speed is also needed to win the day. Be fast, be smart, and you'll certainly be the winner!
As a self-professed geek, my three sons might as well have been born with dice in one hand and a video game controller in the other. From a very early age, they were playing all sorts of board games and video games. They are very comfortable with the geek gaming culture and all three still embrace it. However, I also wanted to make sure they were exposed to other experiences besides gaming in order to help them be well-rounded individuals.
