Farming... with Style! (A Review of Farmageddon)

This ain't no yellow brick road

While Farming is a common staple of games that lean towards the "euro" style of things, many consider that activity to be somewhat boring.  After all, it's a little bit like watching grass grow, only the final plants are taller.

Perhaps Farming might be more interesting if there were explosions involved.  Or at least some intense sabotage, theft, and destruction.  Enter the card game Farmageddon, a game by friend-of-the-dragon Grant Rodiek, originally published via The Game Crafter but now available from 5th Street Games.

Spies and Lies (a review of Ace of Spies)

You are a spymaster tasked with completing missions for king and country. You must recruit agents, gather intelligence, provide the proper tools for the job, and set up meetings in the right locations in order to succeed. But watch out! Rival spymasters are out there as well, and they are not above stealing your plans from under your nose. To be a spymaster requires nerves of steel...and perhaps unscrupulous backstabbery.

Do you have what it takes to win the coveted title Ace of Spies?
