When I saw this one at Target I had to buy it, I love Clueless and there was no way I would pass this one up. I do have some mixed feeling after playing it. The game basically consists of 4 mini games and I like three out of four of them. The theme shines…

Flashpoint Fire Rescue
Flashpoint is a cooperative game where you are working together to rescue trapped victims before the building collapses. Firefighters really do have to work at a team so a cooperative makes sense. Having the board be a floorplan with fire tokens really helps carry the theme well. The game looks good and is easy to…
Pitchstorm
Who doesn’t love a good movie? Pitchstorm is all about creating and pitching your own great film to an executive who might have their own ideas for the project. I love this type of party game, it’s easy enough to be playing in minutes and the executive notes add a good twist. Pitchstorm is a…
Kabuto Sumo
Kabuto Sumo is a game I have been searching for and finally found at a game store while on vacation. It did not disappoint. I love arcades and especially love coin pusher games. They are so satisfying so the idea that I could have that same feeling at home was really appealing. This game is…
Hocus Pocus Tricks and Wits
Hocus Pocus Tricks and Wits is a Funko Card game. I have a few of these games and will write about more over Christmas. These games are small, low priced and usually themed on movies. This one is obviously based on the movie Hocus Pocus. To be honest, these aren’t really my go to games….

Ticket to Ride
Ticket to ride is considered a modern classic and it earns that title. This game is really successful with various different versions available with maps from all over the world. I recommend it for any game collection because it appeals a large audience. Playing this reminds me of board games I played when I was…
Darkridge Reunion
I should start by saying Darkridge isn’t for everyone and this isn’t the type of game you will probably pick out on a whim. This is more of an experience. Now the idea of a murder mystery party surprisingly comes up a lot but it always like a bit too much work and they are…
High Society
In High Society, you are members of the elite. Throughout this game, you are trying to show your status and prestige by collecting points. This is a game from the 90s that I had never heard of but fortunately got a chance to play and loved it immediately. High Society is an extremely quick and…
Chainmaille: Byzantine Chain and Simple Pendant
I’m still fairly inexperienced when it comes to chainmaille. Byzantine has sort of become my go to chain. I love how simple it is when you get the hang of it and it’s easy enough to work on while you are watching TV. Plus it looks good, there’s something very elegant about this chain. It…
