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.

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!
Hey there, Gamers! I know we all love good games, but what can make a good game enough better? If it’s gorgeous of course! There’s nothing like appealing player pieces, boards, and even rule books to make a good game all the more perfect.
These are a few of the prettiest games in my collection. Feel free to comment and let me know what other beautiful games are out there, so I know what to pick up next!
Remember when you were a kid and everything being in your favorite color was such a big deal? Your cup, your plate, your shoelaces…everything needed to be your favorite color, and you’d love it so much more. Well, in my board game enthusiast days of now, I can tell you not much has changed.
Red is by far my favorite color and basically a given that I must be red in every single game, so long as it is a playable color. I started thinking about this the other day, and said to myself how weird it is that player color could have such an impact on a game for me. Without further ado, let me take you on a little walk through the varying layers of why player color matters, … or maybe doesn’t, for some gamers.

Ahh, another board game day is coming up, and I bet you can’t wait! A day to sit down, relax, and not think about going anywhere…until… someone pulls out the newest tile-laying game Going Further! Now you have to plan your moves and see just how far you can get your road to go!
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!
