    For the Seventh Day of Christmas we got Tiny Epic Galaxies.
    Tiny Epic Galaxies is just … well it’s amazing. It’s a full and complex board game packed into a tiny pocket sized box.

    Sixth Day of Christmas Games

    The Twelve Days of Christmas Games will highlight small games that easily fit into a stocking or make a great and inexpensive Holiday Gift!

    For the Sixth of Christmas we got Bang! The Dice Game.
    Bang! The Dice Game is a small game with the same premise of it’s original “Bang! The Card game”. Although this time you’re rolling a set of dice instead of going through a deck of cards. Which gamers apparently love because this little beauty is ranked higher on Board Game Geek and receives a much better reception to newer players. So with a price of  $18.00 it’s a must have bluffing game for your collection.

  • Gifts for the Board Gamer with Everything

    Gifts for the Board Gamer with Everything

    As I’ve been browsing other gaming sites I’ve noticed something awful, most of these “Gift Lists” have been created for those just getting into the gaming industry. They focus on popular games that any hardcore board gamer already has in their gaming closet. Which doesn’t help my fellow Meeple obsessed people!

    So without further ado let me take your stress away and highlight the NEWEST games of 2015 that any gamer should be looking to add to their collection. (more…)

    Tesla vs. Edison is a crowdfunding baby designed by Dirk Knemeyer that takes “The Race to Light the World” and puts it into a game scenario.  Sit back and use propaganda to discredit your competition or try to hustle other players by manipulating the stock market. All while researching Bulb technology and electricity to make your own company a huge success so you’ll get more funding.

    Players: 2-5,   Age: 14+,    Publisher: Artana

    Theme: The theme for this game is what really drew me in as the race to light the world is a very interesting piece of history. (more…)

    Hive Pocket is just a miniaturized version of Regular Hive! Not only that but it includes the Mosquito and Ladybug Expansions. It’s a two player game that requires some serious skills as a Mensa Select game winner and if you like strategic games this is the one for you. Topping off at about $20.00 gem will entertain you long after the Holidays.

    For the Third Day of Christmas we got Three Cheers for Master.

    Three Cheers for Master is one of my favorite small box games. Not just because it has an awesome theme but because it requires some forward thinking. It can also be seeded with betrayal or as player friendly as you want. Making it a perfect game to play for the holidays and with a price at about $16.00 it can be fit into any stocking.
