Pocket Samurai Game Review

The life of a Samurai was one of stark contrast. One aspect of their life was the arts and a ridge code of honor focused on enriching and deepening one's life. The other aspect was the sword, a brutal weapon designed to cut people down, take life, and cause suffering. The Samurai walked this path of duality, a living symbol of honor and horror. In this game, you must move purposefully and strike fast before your opponent takes your life. But strike with purpose and principle. Failure to do so will result in wasted effort and, perhaps, life.

Shadow House: Masquerade Game Review

There has been a murder. All the players are possible suspects, with only one player knowing who is innocent for now. Can you deduce who is guilty and who is innocent? You might have the skills to do so but not the time. Be quick, or the murderer will escape!

Snatch It! Game Review

American writer, humorist, and essayist Mark Twain said, "If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And If it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest first." A valid approach to avoiding procrastination and focusing on what is critical. In this game, the critical action of the day is to eat your fill as the frog. The pond is busy but small, meaning you'll have to be clever and quick to get your fill. Jump to the sky, flick that tongue, and hope to catch as much as possible before your opponents steal your lunch.

Stealing Scenes: Action! Game Review

In this game of movie magic, each player takes on the role of a would-be Hollywood Star! There are few opportunities to highlight your talent, meaning you have to act quickly to get the director's attention. Competition, as you can imagine, is fierce. Being a pretty face in a city of pretty people isn't enough. You must bring your talent and energy, play it big, and don't look back! Success is given only to those with skill and dedication to do all they can to get the part.

Trekking the World Game Review

The Buddha said, "It is better to travel well than to arrive." Or, if you like, the journey itself is the true purpose rather than the destination. In this game of traveling the globe, exploring exotic locations, and experiencing all our little planet has to offer, the players will focus first and foremost on their journey. By foot, boat, plane, train, or automobile, they will see sites that deepen their understanding of nature and our place on our planet.

KubeLord of Frogs Game Review

The origins of the children's game Leapfrog can be traced back to the late 16th century. It's still played today and is an excellent example of a game that has withstood the waves of time and popularity. And yet, this game - while still played at its most basic and traditional level on playgrounds worldwide - is subject to updates and derivatives of its own. Case in point, this game takes the basics and adds a new twist that creates a game that is both familiar and challenging to play. What is old is new again, it would seem, as games hop through time and onto your gaming tables.
