Board Game Reviews – 3 Player Games
Bounce Off
Bounce off is kind of like Beer Pong meets Connect Four. You are bouncing ping pong balls into a grid trying to make a pattern. There are nine different pattern cards with varying levels of difficulty. This is a really simple concept but works well for what it’s trying to do. The cards give it…
Pickles to Penguins
Pickles to Penguins is about making connections between items that are unrelated. The connections need to be made as quick as possible to beat your opponents, making the game pretty tense. You are trying to get rid of all your cards as soon as possible. There’s a creativity in coming up with the connections. For…
Over-Rated The Card Game
Over-Rated is a game where you are leaving reviews for all sorts of different places. This plays like Cards Against Humanity or What Do You Meme. There’s definitely an audience for this, these type of party games are really popular and if you have overplayed Cards Against Humanity this could be a good option. The…
Cellulose: A Plant Cell Biology Game
Cellulose is a worker placement game with an educational twist. In general I think most games have educational value, but this takes it a step farther. The entire time I played I wished I had something like this back when I was taking science classes. It is definitely a game I am recommending to teachers…

Monster Fluxx
With Spooky season right around the corner, there’s no better time to talk about Monster Fluxx. Fluxx is a game with many different themes, so if you aren’t into Monsters, there are plenty of other versions to choose from. In Fluxx the rules are added as you go, making this one extremely easy to get…
Can’t Stop
Can’t Stop is a push your luck game from 1980s. There isn’t a great theme or fancy rules. It is pure push your luck and I love everything about it. The simplicity is what make this game. The components are okay. The play mat is nice but the pieces can slide a bit and are…
Scooby Doo The Board Game
In Scooby Doo The Board Game, you are a member of the Scooby Gang. The gang must work together to gain resources and build traps to capture the Monster. What a perfect concept for a cooperative game. CMON games are always the best for quality and this is no exception. This game looks fantastic and…
