I got an email today from the folks who make the excellent game Cards Against Humanity. Last year at around this time they sold a holiday expansion pack, which I purchased before I even got the retail version of the base game and the expansions. At 12:40 I got the email. I was in the […]
Bang! is a good filler card game for mid-sized gaming groups, especially if your friends don’t take themselves too seriously.
Every Sunday we open our doors for burgers and board games. Sometimes we just have one guest, sometimes we have a dozen. Some of our guests are hardcore gamers. Some folks haven’t played a game since they were a kid. We never really know, and that means we have to have an array of games […]

Seasoned game players may be fine for several sessions of longer, more intense narrative games such as […]
