So much promise, so little delivery. This surpasses the original Medici. A bit pricey for something that is so easy to make for yourself, and better (the green/blue goods could be easier to distinguish) Location: Living Room (Bookcase)
This is a good little 2-player auction game. Strange feeling, maybe too cold to play it much more times. The other player can pay that price, but if she doesn't, you must. Simple and deep--truly elegant. But it carries in itself the antidote for its "formulaic banality" and mathyness, as probability management.
Nice 2 player game, but it can strain your brain! OK as long as players do not spend to long calculating their bids (especially at the end of the game).

Description Knuckle Knipper is a game of tension, memory, and frustration. The board covers the Anzio Beachead and the Gustav Line. Idemoto come back again on GJ from issue #9, the recapture of Kiev. The side for older players contains word fragments that can be matched up to form words. Leaders may be targeted for assassination or duels. Each player must then write the correct spelling of the word and a definition for the word. Napoleonic skirmish combat with miniatures.

A movement game in which each player wants a different combo of donkeys to win. This game is fun (in, I agree, a disgusting kind of way!) and I have spent a few enjoyable drunken evenings playing it.
Very strange game on a very strange subject. This game is fun (in, I agree, a disgusting kind of way!) and I have spent a few enjoyable drunken evenings playing it. Lost my first copy under tragic circumstances and replaced it a few years ago using Ebay.
1 partial play, so perhaps the rating is unfair? You can move any donkey but then a chain reaction occurs. No real desire to play this again, but at least my curiosity has been satisfied.
Donkeys move in mysterious ways..............hope my order of finish is correct. Not so much as a game as an experience. Having 3 win position cards seems like you luck into win.

Description Pentactic is a game in the line of FITS or Ubongo, but with more player interaction, where players try to place all their pentominoes on their boards while dropping stones on the opponents’ boards to prevent them from doing the same. This includes army lists and counters for Japan, Korea, the Mongols, and the Ming and Yuan Chinese--Asian land warfare from the thirteenth through the sixteenth centuries. There are 12 different pentominoes. Your group connects to at least three islands. Néstor designed the first version of Pentactic (basic gameplay) back in 1980, while playing with a home-made set of pentominoes.

Again I used to own, but in my shuffle of life, have lost it!
Not a game but an activity. Also subject to being "gamed" by the players. My only complaint is that the villains are too easy to defeat. With 3 or 4, it MIGHT be playable if there were MORE inkblots out; with just n-1, it's just too easy (2 of us tied in our 3er game). We were ready to add house rules 5 seconds into it just to have some "there" there. Charles would be so proud. The problem, I think, is that the game doesn't really foster discussion; you're just looking around to see who you matched or didn't match. Might be a good game for kids.
Playable with younger kids but still a very good family game and also a fun X-men game.

1 used copy of game and 3 copies of mag S&T 62 Hexes. I think the game would get better the more it gets played. Game was interesting in concept, dull in application.
Extended family has it and loves it!
A game of trying to avoid a rapid loss, this simulation offers little to redeem itself.

This is one of the "quick games" that we never seem to get to the advanced rules on.
I like this a lot.
Looks like a great cheap supplement to PG.

Стильный большой десятигранник для отсчёта уровней. Just nasty.
An expansion that makes the Goblins play a lot better.

Cute kids game that can be mildly amusing for the very young. I have enjoyed when I was a boy, learning a lot of different Indians tribes. Now have bough another copy.

Like a lot of childrens games and a fair number of other games this one has the familiar second guessing what your opponent is going to do element. There’s clearly no big strategy here; any given guess can be just as effective as a well thought out play. But my "new" copy is from the University Game Society of the University of QLD, Brisbane, Australia. There is limited intelligence at the operational level. Definitely a good, fun, light game for anyone's collection! Very simple, and a fun activity for young children.
Fun with 3-4 players in the subtle interaction that occurs when you have played for some rounds and try to outguess the opponents based on recognized patterns. I found the game to be very enjoyable. The more players, the better.
