My review of the movie Eulogy is available at Amazon.com here.
To say that this was an odd movie is the understatement of the year. It does show that good actors can overcome bad writing.

Amazon Review: Ra Board Game
Posted: January 9, 2010 by datechguy in amazon reviews, gaming, hobbiesTags: game night, strategy board games
My review of master game designer Reiner Knizia’s board game Ra is available at Amazon.com here.
My weekly game group was short this week leaving us with only 4, we learned this one on the fly and was able to get in two games in under an hour. When a fifth showed up a few hours late he was able to grasp the game and join in one more game before we called it an early night finishing before 11:30.
The measure of a well balanced strategy game system is:
On that contains different paths to victory
Regularly rewards the best players
Contains enough luck so the outcome is not guaranteed
Ra certainly does the trick but with a max of 5 players we likely won’t be getting back to it for a while.
The Sunday Amazon reviews will return next week

Munchkin Quest: Amazon Review

My review of the board game Munchkin Quest by Steve Jackson games is available at Amazon.com here.
If you enjoy the card game it is highly likely you will like the board game. We have played it twice at game night and the reviews are generally favorable.
Unlike the card game there are several new luck factors introduced, this may effect your enjoyment of the game depending on your temperament, but all and all it seems to be a winner, an expensive winner but a winner.
