Tag Archives: Gamer Geek Approved

Gamer Geek approved games are challenging and tend to demand a great deal out of the players. Strategy and tactics are a must, but so is the fun. Games approved by Gamer Geeks range from light to heavy, but almost always demand that the players be challenged and the game is dynamic enough to provide for a good mix of player control, randomness, and a little bit of luck. Games approved by the Gamer Geek group also tend to be much more rules heavy and expensive.

What was once a paradise and a destination for relaxation has become a testing ground to challenge the strong and bury the weak. I, for one, don’t plan on going down without a fight.
