Board Game Madness 11/9


Sorry about the day late… BTW, anyone want to feel depressed that Stairway to Heaven is 40 years old???


Fun:

New Games:
  • Frankendie: Combine the pattern recognition game of Set with assembling creatures a la Norbert and you have this seemingly loud and fun game. Probably not out until after Christmas
  • Carcassonne Expansions: From the I Wouldn’t Believe It If I… Wait, Who Am I Kidding Department, yes, three more expansions for the Rio Grande seminal tile laying game. Crop Circles, Plagues and Tunnels.

iOS:
  • Trivial Pursuit has now taken to the iPad – available now
  • Elder Sign: Omens released
  • Dominant Species is still in testing (expect a couple of more months)
  • Tigris & Euphrates updated to 11/14 release

News:
  • Saturday 11/12 is National Gaming Day at Your Library!
