Join the Dark Side

I recently added a guild to the Board Game Geek website for the SGW game group. Tim had notices that Guilds were now available. With his donation of a few Geek Gold, I was able to get the guild started and hopefully we can get some members added. BGG also has a BLOG but I prefer to use my one Blog since it is linked to other Blogs I have. The guild will allow us to post updates, share ideas with other guild members, even check games we all have in a single place on the best Game Information site I know about.

So go to the boardgamegeek.com join the site, and join our guild.

See you there.

Transformers is gonna rock!

Sorry, but having seen more previews I have accepted that even if Michael Bay adds an unneeded love story, the transformers themsleves are going to steal the show completely and this Action Movie (Remember, ACTION, movie) will be great. Hopefully having Steven Spielberg at the Producer seat helped. When I saw Optimus Prime transform and heard the old animated series transform sound I mimicked as a kick (about 40 more times though since it took a while to transform some of the toys) I was down right giddy. 2007 special effect and action, homage to 1985 fan boys like me, and all is good I say. I was a sceptic, but now I plan to go opening night and even got the RISK game based on the movie. I gues the blof July 5 will tell if if I am right or wrong. :)




For you that think it is gonna suck, at least this was not their idea for "LIVE ACTION"

The Road to Eldorado (Tectonic actually)

Here is a link to the complete story so far in my endeavor to create my own game from thought to production. http://www.strategygamersworld.com/tectonicbirth.htm

The Tec in Tectonic


Tectonic has received a face lift as I have moved it to a final production version. (Minus a few snags like the image above)

Some of us had an opportunity to play the game in both it’s basic (original) version, and the new advanced rules. Both played very well and the card and tile quality was above even my bloated expectations.

I am hoping to get some more play testing done over the next few weeks and move this bad boy to the shelves by the end of the year.

Thanks to everyone who has helped test this game.

More then Meets the Eye



Well you should have known. With the new Transformers movie almost here it was only a matter of time before the products hit the shelves. While I could care less about TF paper plates or Silly String Shooters, one item did catch my eye right away. Yet another Risk Variant, this time taking place on the fables TF planet of Cybertron.

I have not played yet, but the rules seem solid and fun, so maybe something good will come out from the movie.
