Just Played First Game of Pirate’s Cove

Posted in February 5th, 2008
by GeorgiaBoardgamer in Boardgame Sessions, boardgame reviews

Me and one of my son’s just played Days of Wonder Pirate’s Cove through about six months (six rounds).  Can’t go much into it now, but I can see a lot of potential here.  The combat is simple, but the method of choosing makes the game interesting. Again, I’ll have to get into it in […]

What board game would you like to learn?

Posted in February 1st, 2008
by GeorgiaBoardgamer in board game podcast, boardgame reviews, boardgame articles

I’m never sure what board game to buy for our game days, so I thought I’d open it up for suggestions.  Does anyone have a favorite they’d like to learn?  Also wanted to drop a quick note that we are working on our podcast and that a review of Augsburg 1520 is in the works […]

Board Game Reviews - Old and New, Which One?

Posted in January 21st, 2008
by GeorgiaBoardgamer in boardgame reviews, boardgame articles

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 […]

Richard Borg’s Wyatt Earp - Board Game Review

Posted in October 1st, 2007
by GeorgiaBoardgamer in boardgame reviews

Lately, I’ve been lazy, not playing many board games, but not playing video games or anything else either.  I don’t know if it’s work or because I’m enjoying learning about podcasting and video editing.  I recently got a Macbook Pro and have revived my interest in audio and video broadcasting - they were taking over.  […]

Lord of the Rings: The Confrontation

Posted in September 22nd, 2007
by GeorgiaBoardgamer in boardgame reviews

This gem is quickly becoming one of my favorites.  I love the secret deployment mechanic employed by this game.  The theme is also a high tilt factor for me.  Well thought out rules, nothing hard to understand, bluffing (secret deployment), and good graphics, make this board game a must have.
Did I mention this is a […]

Initial Axis and Allies Miniatures Thoughts

Posted in September 5th, 2007
by GeorgiaBoardgamer in boardgame reviews

Only played a few games, so I’ll try and revisit this.
I like the addition of cards, compared the board game, but have a hard time with the dicefest this game quickly becomes.  Kids love it because of the miniatures.  I like the minis, but the play is a little stale.  It could be the theme.  […]

The Board Game Blokus

Posted in August 28th, 2007
by GeorgiaBoardgamer in boardgame reviews

Interesting game.  The components are nice and the game play exciting for an abstract.  I’m a big chess fan, so I have a high tilt towards this type of board game.  I’ve played several games of Blokus and have not been able to discern any beat all moves.  The diagonal strategy towards the middle of […]

Carcassonne - I’m not sure why folks love this board game

Posted in August 28th, 2007
by GeorgiaBoardgamer in boardgame reviews

One son loves this, but I’m still striving to understand why everyone appears to love this game so much.  I have been told that historically it was the first of its kind.  I’m just not getting the attraction, but it is somewhat entertaining and easy for younger children, even though, it is not a child’s […]

Citadels - First Impressions - Trying to Like It

Posted in August 26th, 2007
by GeorgiaBoardgamer in boardgame reviews

I’ve played a few games of this now and while I like the game components. I’m not sure I understand why the game is rated so high.  Is it because I have only played two player games?  I’m not really getting the strategy here.  For example, the roles are random so what good does it […]
