Party Like It's 1492 (A Review of Old World New World)

There's a lot of debate about who, exactly, "discovered" the Americas - Christopher Columbus, the Vikings, the Chinese, a lost tribe of Israel, or even aliens.  Now, with one of Victory Point's latest titles, you can make sure the history books get it right - it was YOU!  It may not be the vast American continents, but a New World beckons nonetheless with all its riches, honor, renown...and dangers.  Can you survive hostile Natives, an unwelcoming environment, and competition from your Old World neighbors to claim both land and glory?

Spinning Out of Control (a review of Gravwell)

This game, in case you couldn't tell, takes place in SPACE

Trapped in the 9th Dimension, engines down. This is your predicament; the only working device on your ship is your tractor beam, so the only way to move is to push or pull off of the nearest heavy object. But what happens if that object moves the other way?

This is the premise of Gravwell, and you'd better be on your toes, because only one of you can make it out of this dimension. Try not to spin out of control.

Oh, the Humanity! (A Review of Quicksilver)

Airships.  The very word conjures images of sleek silhouettes slicing through the skies and portends of audacious adventure.  It is the height of the Victorian Era and England has organized a rousing gala of pomp and fanfare to showcase its latest lighter-than-aircraft design.  Are you daring enough to brave the winds, elements, and competing aeronauts for glory and honor?  But more importantly, are you gentlemanly enough?  Aye, for the Queen, herself, will grace this event with her attendance!

Run, Salmon, Run! (A review of Salmon Run)

When you hear of a game called Salmon Run, you might think it's about the treacherous and long journey that Salmon make every year, upriver, to return to their spawning pond and have more Salmon babies.  Congratulations, you'd be exactly right.  Salmon Run is a race for 2-4 (or sometimes 5) players up the river, over waterfalls, around rocks, and all of this while avoiding bears, eagles, and the occasionally rough current.

Smile and Wave, Boys (A Review of North Pole)

Imagine you’re a penguin. First of all, you’re a bird that can’t fly. That’s got to be embarrassing enough. Then, on top of that, you live somewhere way down at the bottom of the globe, not too far north of the South Pole, on some desolate island or coastline with a bunch of other flightless yokels staring at ice all day. Pretty boring stuff. That is, unless you’re frantically running (again, not flying) for your life to keep from being some sea lion’s next frozen dinner. I’d say you definitely deserve a vacation. So check out these wonderful travel brochures I have on…um…the North Pole?
