So, with the new Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 on the forefront, I thought, hey, let’s review the original. And, according to a lot of reports, what I say here is a good reflection on the sequel (it sounds like they didn’t change a lot in the next installment). At first, you are forced into [...]

Yeah, that thing. It holds paper together with its steel grip. Let’s do a Top 10 thing here and list 5 Pros and 5 Cons about the staple… Afterall, the staple might not be the perfect device for securing paper together. So, after the Pros and Cons, how about a little discussion of what else [...]
Galaxy Trucker This is a two part type boardgame that has distinct mechanics in each part. There is the planning or building stage and then, the action stage. The first part consists of a race to build your ship. You want to have weapons and shields and cargo space and crew quarters, but you do [...]
The picture to the right is how I will remember Favre. Not in a Jets uniform, not as a Minnesota Viking… I have always been a Favre fan. I like his style of play. Sling the ball, hope for a good play, take risks… I think that his bravado has led to many interceptions but [...]
So, I don’t like the Travel deck… It made this game a Traitor’s paradise. Every time, we tried to get something going, we were lost in the woods or ambushed. Some might say that it made the game harder, I though it made the game frustrating. I have played SoC a number of times without [...]

The first thing I noticed about these are that they don’t actually contain coconut… The ingredients are Milk Chocolate, Sugar and Cornstarch, last ingredient is “Artificial Flavor”… Hmmm, I expected some coconut oil or something. The bag I bought was the 1.5 oz bag. It contained 24 M&Ms (9 brown, 8 white and 7 green) [...]
