Sunset Over Awesome!

Tasty Tatsu Review

John Yianni does it again! A great two player game that takes the most exciting moments of backgammon (capturing opponents pieces) and the movement of pieces by utilizing 2 dice. Dragon pieces each have their own abilities based on the type. Fun game that can be long winded at times. Quality of components are fantastic. Packaging (box) is a little frustrating. Backgammon fans should really enjoy this game. I know I do, and that is How Lou Sees It!

Witches of the Revolution

Witches of the Revolution published by Atlas Games is one of the strangest themed games I have had the pleasure of playing. The other week we played a dog's life by drinking out of fountains, piddling on lampposts, and burying bones. This week we were witches trying to ensure the colonists were successful in their Revolution. Board games are awesome.

This theme is a bit weird for me, and yet it is also somewhat humorous as well since one of your objectives can be to resurrect Benjamin Franklin. Check out the video review. There is a lot more to the rules and gameplay than covered in the video, such as the event cards also having "when flipped" effects that make you discard cards or move up the moon track, or they may make it more difficult to complete by restricting the cards you can use to complete that quest. Other events are more difficult when other card types are in the event line or based on position.

There really is a lot here. The quality of the game is very nice and the insert well designed. Artwork is well done and fits the theme. For me, I'm not a huge fan of the strange theme, but I have to admit the game play is solid and provides for a fun co-op or solo game experience. The solo mode works well, but a lot of the witches abilities on the bottom of the cards refer to helping and supporting other players during their turns. This is great for the multiplayer co-op but during solo play is a little frustrating at first that a lot of the abilities just are not used in solo play. The game provides interesting and challenging decisions with what event is your highest priority, and what witches do you recruit and which witches do you banish to do so. Use of the objective trophies is also vital to winning the game and therefore choosing events with symbols needed to complete those objectives in a certain order can make a difference too. This could easily fit into a Halloween themed board game night I think. A very fun game with a very strange theme and that is How Lou Sees It!

A Dog's Life

Scuttle! A quick pirate themed card game that is lots of fun.

Ninjatsu! A sequel stand alone game to Scuttle is on Kickstarter now.

My first Jelly Bean Games review, I am very impressed with the company and people bringing these games to our tables. Keep up the good work Peter, Kelly, and Nicole! I hope to review more of their games soon! Until then, check out the Kickstarter and snatch up some doubloons!

New Featured Kickstarter - Burning Rome

Burning Rome is a great 2 player strategic war card game. Easy to learn and fun to play. Provides a quick gameplay and a lot of cards for nice replay ability. Emil Larsen is very thorough in his game designs and yet humble enough to ask for feedback and embrace suggestions to make his games better. Definitely check out the game yourself on Kickstarter now (Starting July 18, 2017).
