In Schmovie you are using prompts to create a movie title. I’ve posted about a lot of these types of games before so there isn’t a lot to say. I always have games like this on hand for parties and non gamer friends. For this one I like the theme and handing out the little…

Hive

Hive gives me a similar feeling to checkers or chess.  The pieces have such specific movements that you will need to strategize to get ahead of your opponent.  Despite having really simple rules this game can be a challenge for new and old players.

Here to Slay was a big surprise hit for me. My nephew got this game for Christmas and I had low expectations. After one game, I ended up going out and buying my own copy because I enjoyed it so much. Right out of the box, we were able to learn the game quickly, the…
