"Ms. Scarlet in the dinning room with the wrench" ahh, Clue I love you!


There are few older games that as beloved as the detective game of Clue. Though the rules are quite simple, everyone enjoys discovering the mystery of who is the killer and how it was done. This game was even so loved that they created a hilarious movie about it.

I have recently bought this fancier version that brings a little more class to the game. If you haven't sat down and played Clue in a while, take the time. The classics never get old.

Cosmic Fun!!

Now if you want a great game that every time you play it has the chance to be completely different game, then this is the game you want. Cosmic Encounters has become one of the most enjoyable and avidly played in my library.

The basis of the game is to conquer your opponents planets and not lose too many of yours. What makes it so much fun is that each race has powers (like stealing as many cards you can without getting caught) and this is where the hilarity begins.

Power Grid... Legendary game

Now because I have bought some many games over the years, I usually don't just get stuck one and play it over and over. Well, over the New Year holiday, my family got Power Grid and no other game was played.

In the traditional German style of Board game like "Ticket to Ride" the game has simple rules but the real strategy is how you play against other players. There are several ways to make sure the advantage is on your side. My family could not get enough of this game, I think we played this game two or three times a day. Don't take my word for it, buy this game and you won't regret it.
