Starving For Entertainment: Hungry Hungry Hippos

How can they still be so hungry? This is why America's kids are so obese. Alright, we’re nearing the end of the week and I’ve talked about video games, Dragonball Z, and some random dude’s CD (albeit he is a talented dude). To round out the week, I should talk about board games, shouldn’t I? It’s all part of the new program my doctor placed me on in hopes that’d I’d enrich my diet. Hey, and how topical, because I figured I’d talk... 

Forget-Me-Nots: The TMNT Pizza Power Board Game

This right here was the coolest game I had in my closet. If you listened to yesterday’s episode of the Too Much Awesome Podcast, you’d currently be jittering with anticipation to learn what my favorite board game growing up happened to be. The time has come and the secret is out. My favorite childhood board game was…the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pizza Power Board Game. Surprising? Not really. Awesome? You bet your sweet bippy it is. So let’s... 

Games Cards Do Not Actually Talk: A Guess Who? Retrospective

So simple yet so wonderful. Perhaps the perfect kid's game. When was the last time I covered a board game? Too long I’d bet. After much soul searching I decided it was time to talk about a game that was near and dear to my heart: Guess Who. Or rather, Guess Who?, as it was commonly spelled. I played this one quite frequently as a child, partly due to seeing the advertisements on TV. But I’ll get to that in due time. First, a light history... 

Just Don’t Panic: A Retrospective on Catch Phrase

A simple concept sometimes goes a long way. I’m a fan of good party games. You’ve caught on to this already being the intellectual readers that you are. I’m ready to talk about yet another fantastic game to break out when friends and family come to visit. Time for Catch Phrase.  Read More →

Like Capture The Flag With Bombs: A Stratego Retrospective

I like to imagine world leaders looking like this man while they play Stretego. So chess is a classic game of strategy and checkers is a classic game of “I Wish I Were Chess.” I was always good at chess (checkers, not so much), but there was another game I was addicted to beyond those two: Stratego. Have you played Stratego? You really should. Don’t believe me? Oh ye of little faith. Follow me then. It’s time for a history lesson.  Read More →

Things and Stuff: A Review of The Game of Things

A deceptively conservative box. What could the contents include? I’ll be downright honest here and let you in on a little secret: Before I got The Game Of Things for Christmas I had never heard of it before. Does that make me a bad person? Probably not. What it did manage to do is make me feel kind of stupid since there’s a pretty decent game here for parties with the right group of people. Let’s get into this review then.  Read More →

D’oh! A Review of The Simpsons Scene-It?

The Ultimate Simpsons Trivia game? I had a pretty darn good Christmas (and thank you for asking). I came out of it like a bandit, partly because my family listened to my list and got me a lot of what I had written down, such as No More Heroes for the Wii, Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks for the DS, and The Simpsons Scene-It? Deluxe Edition. I discussed  Scene-It? last fall but I didn’t cover a specific edition of the game in great detail. I’ll...
