by schuwa I've now played 1830 a whole number of times (n=2). I really love this game. And, normally, I tend to steer away from strategy forums for board games, as I find 99% of the enjoyment of games from figuring them out myself. (I tend to have the masochism down whereby I like to play the US in Twilight Struggle sim (Read More)

by matera This is our 6th episode done by four students. I hope you guys enjoy. This covers most all the rules for the game and gives you a sample play for those that want to see it in action. For most of the students this was their first video review and were a bit shy. Zach comes back for another review making this his 3r (Read More)

Logs in the colors of two players, plus white and green logs, are placed in a four-by-eight grid on the river, and each player starts with five raftsman on their side of the river. The (Read More)

by hemp Hi. Last night I played my first Maharaja game... too bad we couldn't finish it, one of my friends had to leave the table (why people start games they know they can't finish?)At least, it was enough to learn the game. This game seems to be too permissive. I mean, you can move as much as you like (as long you pay for (Read More)

by Eisley Infinite City is a tile-laying game. The first thing to strike you is that the rules are very, very short. This definitely appealed to me but the short rules do not mean the game is shallow.The goal of Infinite City is to score as many points as possible and points are scored depending upon which tiles your mark (Read More)

by loskevino I had played this game once before but I was quite tired and my heart wasn't really in it. But I was excited to play again when I could give it my full attention. We drew Inspector Cooke, Anne Marie, Victor Danforth, and Karl and drew the vampire to play against. The inspector's ability came in quite handy as h (Read More)

by Focuscoene I just want to begin by saying that this game does not deserve the low average it has recieved here on the geek, at least as far as my reviewing standards are concerned.Anyone who has been reading my reviews has probably picked up on how I do things by now. I make an effort to not so much judge the game on per (Read More)

by diemacher Bszzzz is a chaotic trick-taking game from Zoch and it is definitely not a kids game like most of their output. Each player gets three fly swatter cards plus a hand of cards that include "nasty" cards (flies and mosquitoes), "useful" cards (butterflies and bees), and spider webs. In turn players play cards to t (Read More)

by diemacher If you have any silly streak in your game group at all, you need to get this game. Eiertanz comes in a real egg carton and the game includes nine yellow rubber eggs and one wooden egg. It also includes two different dice, and these drive the action.In turn, each player first throws the red die. This shows any o (Read More)

by diemacher The makers of Train Raider and Mermaid Rain, two quality games that show a good trend for development in Japan, released a card game called King's Blood. The game is lighter than their larger board game projects, but like those it uses some novel new ideas and is produced to high quality standard.The card deck (Read More)

The game is so simple and yet highly addictive, and anyone who enjoys Zopp, Spinball, or other quality dexterity games should seek this out.The rectangular board sets on a table top and consists of a wooden frame around a pl (Read More)

by bigfomlof The other night I was in a 5-player game of Tower of Babel and not once was the pass action used by anybody. Now, is this because it was 5-player, and so the hands were filling up quickly or were we playing wrong? My guess is the former but I can always imagine the possibility of the latter. On a side note, the (Read More)

by TuftyMcTavish I've read a few 'expansion mix' type questions on the various AH forums so I have a few ideas of what parts of different expansions to add together. We've planned a big 6 player game for next weekend so I've just been setting things up in advance. I've decided that it'll be our first game with Innsmouth Hor (Read More)

by verandi I've never been one to play games solitaire. I played Agricola solitaire a couple times and it didn't really do much for me. I think this was largely because in Agricola the interaction between players is a major part of the game. On the other hand (and for the first time ever), I'm having a blast playing At the (Read More)

by mrsiffy HiI wonder if there is some lovely kind person out there who would be willing to copy the wizardology instructions for my son - he saved his pocket money and bought the game from a charity shop but when we got it home we realised that it has no instructions. I cannot find the instructions on the web so am pleadin (Read More)
