Forbidden Island

A fun cheap little cooperative board game for 2-4 players. I've played it a few times and it's been fun every time. I even grabbed some pictures the last time.

Borderlands 2

Wow, anyone else get this game? Seems to be flying under the radar of everyone.

Gears of War AABR

Last week we took another shot at Gears of War. This time, trying some more missions. Here's our After Action Battle Report.

Star Trek Expeditions

To my benefit I was browsing Barnes & Nobles and came across this discounted board game so I picked it up for the group.  The setting is planet Nibia where the Enterprise has been invited to open discussions about their government joining the federation.  The game is broken into two parts, ship combat between the Enterprise and a Klingon Battle cruiser and planetary missions.  You also have 30 days until the Klingon fleet arrives (which is an automatic defeat).

Gears of War Board Game

Last week we had the pleasure of enjoying yet another fun fantasy flight board game, Gears of War.  Just like its console cousin the game features 1-4 player co-op and plays very similar.  The game system features missions that progress when certain criteria are met and has a unique ‘AI’ card system that keeps the enemy interaction interesting.  Each mission has a different tile setup that adds to the replay value.  The difficulty of the game is moderate and teamwork is crucial to survival, so if you have a teammate that’s more worried about picking up a gun rather than completing an objective you’re probably going to perish, horribly.

Game-A-Week: Pandemic

We picked this up thanks to our sponsors. This game was tough but fun.
