On this segment we return to the tribal days of great trials and tribulations through survival to play Stone Age. In this 2 - 4 player worker-placement game of strategy and dice rolling, you are trying to grow your tribe to be as sustainable and efficient as possible. Ultimately this will reward you with more points as you progress throughout the game and whoever scores the most points by the end of the game, is the winner. Join us as we gather what resources we can manage, hunt for food in the fields, and evolve our tribes the best that we can in order to survive the Stone Age.
Seasons Greetings everyone! Hopefully everyone has had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Since it is the day after, and no doubt people are already planning and possibly out and about doing their holiday shopping, I'm bringing you a very special segment today on my Top 10 Stocking Stuffer games for Christmas! This is a recommended list that I have put together to carefully consider what has been, and is currently hot right now in the gaming market. I've done my thorough research for this segment. I've carefully considered box size, price range, popularity of the game from both past and present releases so I hope this list will be a useful preparation tool for you as Christmas is quickly approaching! Read on to see my top ten recommended stocking stuffer games!
Today's brain game of choice is Qwirkle, and we returned to the awesome Calvin Fletchers Coffee Company where we thoroughly enjoyed more breakfast sandwiches and coffee! Qwirkle is an abstract strategy game based on pattern building and hand management. The idea is to create the longest row of blocks from a single attribute (either single shapes or a single color, but not both). Players begin the game with six blocks. The active player places a block with a single matching attribute on the table. The next player adds more blocks adjacent to at least one previously played block. All blocks must be played in a row and match without duplicates, either the color or shape of the previous block.
I like to think that our blog is a tiny corner of the internet where we provide helpful information to other tabletop gamers and enthusiasts everywhere. Hopefully this segment will be another one of those instances, because the most important thing is that the readers receive the truth. Whenever a gaming convention is put on, there is supposed to be a sense of pride in the air. There should be a feeling of confidence that the surrounding people really put in a lot of hard work and preparation to represent their city and state. This convention ended up not being what we had expected at all. Read on to learn about this unfortunate event.
Today we drove a little further out of our way to visit The Caffeinery in downtown Muncie to play Lost Cities. Located off of Walnut St, the Caffeinery is upscale, but approachable and friendly. In addition to their great coffee, their kindness also shined for a great overall experience. The coffee is a little pricy, but you get what you pay for here. It was definitely worth the drive to venture out and try a new coffee shop and we were both very pleased to see Muncie embracing a local coffee shop. We really appreciated the service we received today from The Caffeinery and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone! Lost Cities is an exploration, hand management/set collection, wager game with an archeology theme. This version is the 2 player card game and it consists of a single deck of cards with a rank of 2 - 10 in 5 different locations in the world.
