Okay, so you might not actually need to be that quick to win this one, but hey, puns are cool.
I know this isn’t some new or super exciting game, but I’ve gotten to play it a lot more recently, and I have to say, it may be my favorite short and simple game. I wanted to do a quick review of Qwixx for you, in case you haven’t gotten to play it, and want to check it out! (Which you, obviously, definitely should.)
Howdy friends!
Another awesome GenCan’t “convention” is in the books! There’s not a whole lot I can say about it other than it was a lot of fun to have my friends over, bake some cool meeple cookies, and play a lot of games all weekend! No crowds, no lines, just a ton of fun (not to knock GenCon, cause that also looks like a ton of fun! haha). No vendors, on the downside, but we were able to go thrifting and hit up Target and Gamestop clearance sales and grab a few newbies!
Mostly I just wanted to share my photos of the weekend here, so please enjoy! Did you do anything fun for GenCon or GenCan’t? Leave some comments!
*Side note – I’m thinking of opening a new Twitter page for just board game items – live tweeting plays, images, and links to the blog of course. Thoughts?
Have you ever played a game that was just a tad cheesy? Had a weird theme? Maybe was a little too obscure for your group? Then welcome to the club! I first discovered that CW&O games were kind of their own genre thanks to the Flip the Table Podcast. They played a lot of great cheesy games, and had a lot of fun doing so, which definitely got me more interested in them as a whole! This past weekend my friends and I participated in their International Cheesy Games Day by playing a bunch of these goodies and really getting into the cheesy spirit! I wanted to post about not only the fun that I had, but also the general goodness that is CW&O games, in hopes that others can enjoy them tons too!
If you ask almost anyone who knows me, they will certainly tell you that I love food. I love to cook, bake, and definitely eat. As food is one of my favorite things, when you combine that with gaming, I’m probably going to be very interested! While, of course, I haven’t played every food-themed game that there is, I have found a few awesome ones along the way, and if you’re a food and game love like me, I highly recommend them all!
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a racoon forging for food in the trash? You’re just trying to find something delicious like, perhaps, a leftover cheeseburger, but coming up with a lot of other things as well like coffee mugs and combs. Well, if you have wondered about what it’d be like, you’re in luck! Scavenge, from Chou! Games, allows you to take this role on and press your luck to find the most point-worthy garbage you can and come out ahead of your opponents!
