Free-range thoughts about design, writing, and play
There are just a few hours left in 2018, but that’s enough time to do something I’ve been meaning to do for six months. Let’s stop procrastinating and finish out the year with a big-time, genuine, all-beef official Top 100 Board Games list!
Today marked my tenth play of Azul, the abstract board game of choosing tiles to make pretty walls. (My younger daughter skunked me, 65-40.) Ten plays in a year is pretty good for any game, but what makes this such a milestone?
I liked Alphabear. It had a few flaws, but the game was good and it had plenty of charm. So I was looking forward to Alphabear 2. The sequel has some nice improvements, so why do I like it less?
