SaltCon, my first Con?
As in Con... vention? There is a board game convention happening in Salt Lake City on February 18th and 19th. My wife and I are planning on attending and bringing our camcorder so, if you'd like to be in a video or two playing games and having fun let us know you're coming! I'm really looking forward to this since it will be my first con and hopefully there will be plenty of video opportunities. Check it out!

Pandemic! A sample of what the Amazonians are getting
Yeah, yeah so, this is a review that I posted on Amazon. It's not what the whole BGB (Board Game Blurb) experience is going to be but it should show you what my "flair" and "writing style" will be like. Enjoy!
Save the world from colored cubes!
It's you and your team of experts against the cubes that represent: The Black Death, Yellow Fever, Blue-bonic plague and Red Cubosis... yeah, I had a hard time thinking up one for red. This is an easy to learn yet challenging cooperative game where everyone has a role to play and can have a lot of fun working together and figuring out a strategy to defeat the diseases. The game works well with any number of players and seemed to me to be easier with two players than with five but just as fun with any number. Of course it is very easy to make the game harder by just adding another epidemic card.
I pulled this game out on three very competitive nephews that love games where you get to crush the other players, and they loved it! They tried very hard to work together and not one of them tried to boss the others around. In fact, they liked it so much that when my wife and I gave it to them for Christmas they started jumping around and singing our praises! Oh yeah, title of most favorite Aunt and Uncle secured. My final words are: A fun cooperative game where you can also brush up on your world geography.
Of course you can check it out here http://www.amazon.com/Z-Man-Games-5510867-Pandemic/dp/B0013OBXG2/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1295329024&sr=1-1

The First Post
Oh crap, I've started a blog.
All I want to do is write about games, board and card games that I get to play with my beautiful wife and cool friends and HOLY CRAP!!! Gary Busey just threw Jean Claude Van Damme out a window! Focus, gotta focus on the first blog post and turn off the TV. I like games and I like to play them so, writing about them seemed like a good idea. Writing won't be everything either, we got a Flip camcorder for Christmas and I'm hoping to put it to use documenting the swell times we have playing together. Let the gaming commence!
