Small Games Review Blast: Little Devils, No Thanks!, Red7

Comments 0 Comment

So today I thought I’d try something different. There are several small games that I love to play and get played all the time, because they’re easy enough that my family will play them. None of them really require a full on review, but I think that they’re worth mentioning. We’re going to call this a quick review blast and see how it goes. Little Devils Designer: Michael Feldkötter Player Count: 3-6 Players Play Time: 20-30 minutes Little Devils is…

Whenever you move to a new area, you have to figure out where all of your new “go-to’s” will be. Where is the best pizza in town? Where will you buy your groceries? Which movie theater is best? As an avid gamer, you’ll need to find where your gaming venue will be. I’ve talked a little bit about this before, but I figured I could go a little more in depth as to how I find new places and people…

For today’s review, I’m going with a game that I had highly anticipated, and it didn’t disappoint. A game of secret agents and deception.

I came into Specter Ops never having played a hidden movement game before, and…

First off, I want to start…

In it, you are a low level workforce manager in a Dystopic society. You control a small workforce (your dice) whom you send out to gather commodities, convert them into…

Playing board games is a social event. A great majority of the time, people are part of a large group of gamers, with smaller subsets of gamers that break off and will play games together more frequently. When you’re traveling to new locations as much as my wife and I are, that can make gaming difficult. We love when we are traveling back to Michigan because in addition to other friends and family, we get to see our gaming groups….
