Witch's Brew: out of print, who will play this game with me

I found a new game to play! Who will play with me? This out of print game is a gem.  After randomly stumbling upon a review of this game on BGG, and discovering it was Out Of Print. I decided to track it down.   I liked the theme and the mechanics.  In the land of the Rising Sun - Japan, I thought it would be impossible but I was wrong.  My FLGS (I'm going to call it Foreign Local Gaming Store as it sells Foreign=English games) sold it. I haven't played Citadels, but the mechanics are quite unique, and this is a game I will keep in my collection, not because it's OOP - Out of Print, but because I really enjoy the guessing aspect.   The game plays in such a short time, 30-45 minutes, but it has quite a lot of strategy involved.  There is a lot of out-witting the other players, and trying to guess what cards they might play. Game Play in a Nutshell: The aim of the game win the most points / victory points by brewing potions.  The game ...

Cockroach infestations? Yes, please!

After seeing "Kakerlaken Poker" or in Japanese "ゴキブリポカー" (Gokiburi Poker) appear as a top 10 on a lot of Japanese board gaming catalogs, I decided to check out what the hype was all about.  So I picked up a copy of the Japanese version (luckily the cards had no language specific text)  and once I opened the box, I was immediately hooked by the colourful and amazingly cute artwork.  This cute little Take That style game by Jacques Zeimet has been my go to game for the month.  You can print out a Tuckbox from BGG which allows you to fit this game into your pocket, literally. There's a different image on each of the 64 cards, no 2 cockroaches are exactly alike, which makes the game higher on my Gaming list.  The artist who designed the FANTASTIC art is Rolf Vogt (yes, I was so interested in who did the art, I looked it up on BGG).  If you hated creepy crawlies before, this game might make you rethink those pre-conceptions.   "Awh, isn't that co...

Saboteur get's played!

After reading and watching reviews about this game, I was hyped up and wanted to own a copy of it.  I tracked down a copy on Amazon Japan, and clicked purchase.  But I wasn't able to bring it to the gaming table.  I wasn't sure how receptive my friends would be of this "tunnel laying" game.  The idea of just laying down tiles to form a path to the gold, gave me the impressions of Waterworks or a game of Dominos.  Didn't seem as fun as what the reviews made it out to be. Boy was I wrong. After about 4 months of this game sitting on my shelf, and almost getting it played a couple of times, I finally played it with the Northside Gamers.  We played with 4 players, and it was a lot of fun.  It did remind me of Werewolf with the hidden Saboteur role.  I was secretly hoping I would be a saboteur (I love playing the baddie) and luckily I was able to play one in one of the 3 rounds. Game Play in a Nutshell: The game plays quickly over 3 rounds. ...
