Mark reached the 100th episode this week. He talked about a number of games. Of them, Numeri was quite interesting to me. I need to look into it more. From the description it sounded like one I would like. If you have played it please post your thoughts.
He talked about one from Gamewright, one of my family’s favorite publishers. This was Polar Derby. It is a very light push your luck game designed by Reiner Knizia. It sounds like one my kids would like. Mark also mentioned that Dr. Knizia designed Star Wars: Attack of the Clones card game. We need to get this. My son is hyper into Star Wars right now and I know he would like this one.
Later.

We got 3 new games for Christmas.
Three of A Crime
Zeus On The Loose
Clue: Secrets and Spies
I’m working on full reviews of each but here is a brief summary of each.
Three Of A Crime – quick deduction game. It’s fun. This one got the most play – 7 plays.
Zeus On The Loose – an addition game with a ‘take that’ element. Two plays.
Clue: Secrets and Spies – NOT Clue. This is a completely different game from trad Clue. It’s fun but can be very lop-sided. One play.
The first two are Gamewright games. I like this company a lot. Of the 6 or so we own, all but one see regular play at my house.
I also played a demo/solo/learning game of Pandemic. I read a rule wrong so this didn’t go so well. I will try again this week. I have played it properly. Someone with experience with the game explained it to us for that play. It is an extremely fun game.
