Doomlings
Doomlings is a fairly quick game played with a unique card system (over 100 different cards). It is just going into manufacturing now and should be delivered in December.
I liked it so much that I created a website for it … which now has over 150 articles!
And the game designers even sent me a prototype of the game! So we can play it now! Anytime we want! I’m ready for a game of Doomlings!

And let’s kick of the videos with one of my favorite game reviews of all time:
Canvas
Board Game Geek (for all three editions plus Big Box):
- Canvas (original)
- Canvas Reflections / Deluxe (first expansion)
- Canvas Finishing Touches / Deluxe (second expansion – doesn’t look like it added much)
- Big Box (just a master link list system?)

This is a “roll & write” but with cards so it actually is a “flip & fill”.

How to Play in Five Minutes:
Tsuro (very fast easy to learn game)
This is a game that you can setup and play in ten minutes or less. And have lots of fun the whole time. Short but sweet. A casual glance at the game makes it look like everything is just random and you just see who is lucky. However, that is not the case. Yes, you can play it fast and more or less randomly … yet you also can spend just an extra 20 seconds and see some strategies to which tile you place and how you place it! There are definitely many strategies involved with Tsuro! Many!

You can add more types of monsters yourself (on your printer)=> Set 1 / Set 2 / Set 3
This is a quick cooperative game where all players try to hold off the attacking orcs :) The game play is interesting. The game was so popular that they now make a DELUXE fancy version of the game (with miniatures).
Watch Will Wheaton (yes, he was Wesley Crusher in Star Trek: The Next Generation) explain it and play it with three guests (a comedian, an actress and a voice actor) … here is the condensed version (you can watch their FULL game video at the bottom of this page):
