I just listened to Episode 95 of Boardgames To Go, and in the feedback section near the end, Mark Johnson gave some significant mention of my blog!  Specifically, he read several excerpts from my response to his show titled "Are any of our games Classics?".

I know that I've got a decent number of readers, but it was still a pretty cool thing to hear someone else (especially someone with as much credibility in the hobby as Mark) read my words and recommend my blog.  So anyway, I was just excited and wanted to share it with all of y'all, and also wanted to extend a big old "Howdy!" to anyone surfing obver here because of this podcast!

So, uh... Howdy!

        

Small World was the May Game of the Month! for the Hypermind BoardGamers, and during that time, it saw a lot of play and had a very positive reception.  Personally, my opinion of it went through a bit of a roller coaster ride, but I'll get into that more later in this review...<< MORE >>

Fighting off disappointment, I decided to break out Space Alert and get it ready to go as soon as other players were available. Then, as Cartagena and Aquaretto finished up, we got started...<< MORE >>
