There is always a tendency to in the review world to write on the latest and greatest.  After all, we live in a culture of news about the entire world in sixty seconds.  If it happened 120 seconds earlier, it may no longer be news at all.

But with some things in this world, you can write about and enjoy it even if it is “older.”  Books lend themselves to this easily, but I’ve found that another item, boardgames, do quite well with discussion.  Boardgames do not tend to be old news as quickly as video games, for example.  No one is discussing Pac Man for the Atari 2600 (okay someone probably is somewhere on earth), but I be you can find active board game discussions for Monopoly and Scrabble.  You’ll also find many discussions on games such as Settlers of Catan, Shogun, Twilight Emperium, and ton of other board games.  So, while I want to review the newest games, I also want to talk about some games that are not so new anymore, but still very good.  That’s what you’ll see here in the future - reviews young and old.  And, if you have a request, just drop me a email and I’ll be happy to try an review it. 

Remember, boardgames don’t depend on the latest hardware or technology.  They only depend on you.
