Adventure #7 – Holidays

The Holidays are approaching! The Holidays are approaching! Beware the early, early Christmas,Holidays, or Humbug sales! While I listen to Christmas Music (Yes, there is a radio station in Sheboygan that is playing Christmas music all day and night right now.) to keep the hodag away (Who knew?), I am making plans already for the upcoming holidays. What are plans for the holidays? How many board games are you planning to buy? How many nights are you going to have game nights? Comment below and maybe we can hook up later!

Here are the latest news stories of the board game world:

• There is an interesting story where the television series, “Black Mirror,” has inspired a game called Nosedive. Reported by mashable.com, Nosedive is a social game where people learn about “classicism” through rating each other. The higher the rating, the more things you can do.
• I am switching things up. I found an article on the worst board games that have been made so far. The article is, “30 Hilariously Bad Board Games,” by bestlifeonline and I agree on some of them. Comment below if there are any games you have played that should be placed on this list, too.
• Do you ever learn anything from playing board games, whether intentional or not? I have learned to strategize more and watch how other people play, instead of focusing on the game itself, to win. How about you guys? I read this article “6 business lessons I learned from playing board games,” on a blog and thought it an interesting reading.
• And you thought I forgot what this blog is all about. I found a game that is simple, fun, and about death. What could go wrong? Stupid Deaths is about the true/false facts about people and how they die. Check out the video and leave a comment below about your opinion about it. It looks fun, but I think it will have limited play with only 100 cards to play with.
