A funny card game that lets you know from the start that you can play if you’re drunk or stupid – but not both! – GFY is definitely an interesting play.
Your only goal is to get rid of all the cards in your hand, but can you do it before getting f**ked over by the other players? Let’s check it out!
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.)
Puppy Love – a phrase that can mean a few different things, from a budding romance, to platonic love, to literal love between cute little dogs. When I first read the back of the box description of this one, I will admit, I was a tad skeptical. By a tad, of course, I mean very, because it seemed like a weird concept and also a game I wouldn’t be very fond of (not always huge on the abstract genre). However, a Barnes and Noble sale combined with that ever-pleasant 10% Membership discount convinced us to pick this one up, and actually, despite a few reservations I may still have about it, it’s pretty good!
I’ll start by being honest – I am usually the first to turn my nose up at abstract games. They are usually, in my opinion, lacking in theme, which is a big deal for me, or exterior player interaction (because you’re so caught up in the strategy of it that you forget there is another person at the table), but maybe that one’s just me.
Santorini, however, throws that out the window and has given me an abstract game that’s everything I’ve ever wanted, and more. It is my current game obsession, and the more I play it ,the more I want to play it. Oh, you want to hear more? Allow me to explain.
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.
