Quicksand Review

In Quicksand, you control an explorer trying to discover a hidden temple. By playing cards you move your explorer and other players’ explorers toward the goal. The catch is that no one knows who is controlling which explorer besides their own. The first player to get his or her explorer to the temple wins the game.

Wits and Wagers 2nd edition Rules Review

I decided to write this post after getting some great feedback from people at Northstar Games on my review of Wits and Wagers. I bought the game soon after it came out since I had heard such good things about it. So the review I wrote was for the first edition of the game. Some of the rules were tweaked and take care of the problems I had with the game.

Tsuro Review

Tsuro is a tile laying game that is easy to learn and can incorporate up to 8 players. The tiles show paths and on your turn you must lay a tile next to your pawn. If the path leads you into another person’s pawn or off the board you lose. The last player on the board wins.

Wits and Wagers Review

Wits and Wagers is a great party game that makes trivia fun and easy. You and your team are asked questions then bet chips on which team’s answer is correct. The team with the most points worth of chips at the end of the game wins.

Guillotine Game Review

Guillotine is a quick, fun card game for 2-5 players. Although the theme may seem a bit grizzly the art is whimsical and the names of the cards are funny. The setting is The French Revolution and you are an executioner trying to behead the least popular nobles.
