Every once in a while we’ll stumble upon a silly children’s game at a thrift store for a few dollars and we’ll say to ourselves, “Why not?” So we pick it up to try it out. Yet again, we have found a tiny gem with this silly game, Jumping Jack.

Alas, I don’t have much of a witty title for this one; I don’t feel there’s any way to go about that without making it seem like a joke, which it most certainly is not.
Women in the board game hobby has been a heavy subject that I’ve seen quite a lot of discussion on ever since I entered the hobby. Being a women myself – I know, shocker! – I’ve seen a lot of those discussed topics up close and personal, and I have a lot of thoughts on the subject overall. While this kind of discussion could go on for pages and days, and trust me, I’ve talked myself blue in the face about it sometimes, I’ll try to keep it brief. Here are just a few of my thoughts and opinions on the subject. And, please, keep in mind that I do not by any means think that all gamers treat women like this, nor do I think that the hobby is overall a crappy one to be involved in; I am merely contributing to a bigger conversation that I’ve seen.
As both the title of the game and this post might imply, this new arrival to our collection is a fast-moving rush of a game. A different take on the typical worker-placement game, this cooperative game really makes you feel like you’re working in a busy fast-paced kitchen, and it is one I personally will want to be bringing to the table more often.
Good morrow fellow gamers!
Happy Holidays & New Year since I’ve missed all that and more. I did a lot of traveling and a lot less game playing since PAX, so I apologize for my absence.
On the bright side – thanks to both PAX, the arrival of Kickstarters, and a few dozen lucky trips to our local thrift shops, we have a bunch of new games that we have been playing and still need to play (we have a shame list going of everything unplayed and are trying our hardest to cross things off in a timely manner).
Check out my BGG page for a full list of my currently owned games and let me know if there’s anything I could review or just talk about on here that you would be interested in. Thanks gamers!
Hello there Gamers of the Multiverse!
As you can likely imagine, I had an amazing time this past weekend at the PAX Unplugged Convention. It was a very smooth convention, which made for an extra great experience as my first larger convention. People were kind and inviting, events/lines were conducted well, and the vendors were killer (as were their products)!
I played a bunch of new games, met a ton of fun people, spent too much money on games and swag (& coffee haha), and just ultimately had a really great time. It was a fun new adventure, and I would love to return again next year and do it all again. ^_^ There’s not much more I can say about it, but I think a photo collage will certainly do the trick! 😀
Enjoy, and as always – Happy Gaming!
