We played Incan Gold today for the first time. This little gem requires pretty much no strategy whatsoever. It’s all pushing your look, daring yourself (and others) to keep going when the odds might be heavily against them. But I’m not going to review this game today. I’m going to let the BGG Imperial Reviewers [...]
[show_avatar email=bryan@nevermoregames.com]Just yesterday I posted a short tribute to Acquire, a game that I believe puts class and swagger into griefing. Today I played a game that is the complete opposite sort of griefing game. Today, I played Intrigue (for the first time).
A Short Review of Acquire: During my lunch break, myself and anywhere from two to six others get together and play games.

It’s a real passion of mine, and now Corey and I are taking a chance. We really hope the world will like our games too.
