Lumberjack Jenga 2: Revenge of the Golden Ax (a review of Click Clack Lumberjack)

1 comment:


Back for more, eh? It wasn't enough that you felled the first tree when you were simply trying to harvest the bark. No, now you've been practicing. Your skills have leveled up, and you're ready for a new challenge, like going for the golden bark or using hidden grubs to your advantage. And you've even sharpened your special tiny golden ax for good measure.

But can you wield it to great effect?

Swimming with the Sharks (a review of Get Bit!)

No comments:


Jaws was a terrifying movie when I was younger. Terrifying. I didn't want to go near the ocean (not that I had much opportunity), and I was even suspicious of our landlocked Midwestern lakes.

But you know what is significantly less terrifying than a giant shark destroying boats and eating humans? A giant shark tearing unsuspecting swimming robots apart. See, that? That's not terrifying. That's just plain fun. That's also the premise behind Get Bit!, the game where you don't have to swim fast, just faster than your mechanical friends.

Tabletop Shuffleboard (a review of Crokinole)

2 comments:
This game takes up most of our kitchen table.

If I ever tell you that I have bad luck in contests, you have my permission to hit me. I've won lots of stuff over the years, and I usually use the excuse, "Well, it was a shallow pool," downplaying the role luck played in my being chosen.

But how do I justify winning a headlining Board Game Geek contest with thousands of entrants?

Twice?

You might want to just hit me anyway.

One item I won on the Geek, and also the highest-valued item I've won, was a brand-new Crokinole board from Mayday Games. Crokinole is an old dexterity game that is very well received but normally cost prohibitive to own. Mayday Games has sought to rectify this with their new line of tournament boards. But how is the quality? Do you get what you pay for?
