Settler of the Boards

Check it out! Love Letter has some pretty nifty packaging if you ask me! So, clearly, today we’ll being talking about the game Love Letter; more specifically, I’ll be discussing the reason I love it – differences. Unlike Monopoly, Life, Operation, and a slew of other games that have been re-skinned (i.e. your fave characters are put on the box and board) this game changes more than just the pieces. While some others hold exactly true to the original, Love Letter has variations that are slight, but work so well thematically, that you can’t help but love them for it!

Hey Friends and Fans … if you’re out there.

As much as I love talking about the games that I love (and maybe trashing a few that I don’t so much love) I would love to know what games you’d like to see me write about? If I have them, I’d be happy to play, snap a few photos, and tell you my down and dirty thoughts about them. If not, I’ll try to pick up a copy (if it’s in my price range) or at the very least keep it in mind should I ever come across it for a decent price.

So throw all your suggestions at me! I’m ready for them to fly! Leave me some comments, or check out my Contact page to find my twitter info and hit me up on there. (Are people still saying “hit me up,” by the way? Asking for a friend.)

I look forward to hearing some things from you … if ya’ll exist?

Happy gaming!

Howdy Sherlock-ian fans! If you’re a good ol’ lover of the beloved Sherlock novels, the fabulous movies, or just the stunning performance by Benedict Cumberbatch in the television series, then 221B Baker Street is a premium game choice for you. Becoming a master sleuth yourself is easy with this fun and simple game that can be played cooperatively OR competitively. “Two ways! That’s crazy!!” I know right? So here’s a little bit about the game (just to wet your whistle) and why I think it’s pretty cool that you can play both ways.

In Game Review

As you’ve probably learned from some of my other posts (feel free to reread if you haven’t figured it out), I’m no stranger to hardcore, heavy board games. However, that’s not to say that I’m a hater of simpler classics and other easy finds. In fact, one of my all time favorite games is Splendor, and I have to admit that it’s pretty simple. Despite that, it’s actually a lot of fun and makes for a good beginning game, filler game, or family game. Here’s the lowdown.
