Chairman of the Board: September 2007
http://chairmanboard.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Chairman of the Board. Friday, September 21, 2007. Even though I swore that I was done buying Heroscape stuff here I am $110.00 later with two bags full of it. For those that don’t know, Heroscape is a battle/war game where you and friend draft an army of small miniatures and fight it out on a multi-level battlefield made up of modular hexagonal plastic pieces that all fit together to create thousands of different types of battlefields. Http:/ www.hasbro.com/heroscape. Monday, September 17, 2007. Sure I ...

Chairman of the Board: The More the Merrier
http://chairmanboard.blogspot.com/2008/05/more-merrier.html
Chairman of the Board. Friday, May 30, 2008. The More the Merrier. So it’s should be no surprise that more players means more enjoyable games, but I was surprised this past weekend to find a game that seems to be just for two players is actually better with four. First let me tell you what we played first. First up was History of the World. So this past weekend the four of us got together and played. Here is what the board looked like at the end of the game;. Not only did Scott kick my butt, but as usual...

Chairman of the Board: The Mechanix
http://chairmanboard.blogspot.com/2008/02/mechanix.html
Chairman of the Board. Thursday, February 14, 2008. This method of rolling dice and assigning them to spots on the board to gain various actions reminds me a lot of another game I have played in the past called Yspahan. Another game I recently played was Race for the Galaxy. One aspect of the game that is similar to another game I’ve played, are the Action Cards. Puerto Rico is a game about building settlements and growing and shipping crops. The settlements and crops are represented by card board ch...

Chairman of the Board: July 2008
http://chairmanboard.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Chairman of the Board. Tuesday, July 22, 2008. How Much is Too Much? I sometimes talk about what makes the games me and my friends play different from the games that the average person plays. One big thing that makes them different is the idea of expansions. Now the game comes with many components like; dice, plastic figures, cardboard counters, the game board and of coarse a lot of Cards! Then there have been 18 “small” expansions that just add more cards! What is Arkham Horror? Well let me steal a desc...

Chairman of the Board: RPG’s and Me Part 3: The Future
http://chairmanboard.blogspot.com/2008/01/rpgs-and-me-part-3-future.html
Chairman of the Board. Thursday, January 10, 2008. RPG’s and Me Part 3: The Future. In my last blog I prayed for a game company to make a game like Warhammer Quest. But with higher production values and full ongoing support for the game, I hoped that it would contain everything that a player would need to play the game to the fullest and that it would all be available in the base game and it’s subsequent expansions. I believe that my favorite game publisher, Fantasy Flight. Then there was Altar of Despair.

Chairman of the Board: October 2007
http://chairmanboard.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Chairman of the Board. Thursday, October 4, 2007. Well my friend Scott was in the spotlight recently when one of my co-workers here at KVEW TV, Amy Bouska, decided to do a story on our boardgaming for the KVEW website. She came by on a Friday night when it was just me, Ed and Scott sitting down to play Thebes. Even though Amy felt kinda overwhelmed when Scott tried to teach her how to play and she ultimately ended up bowing out of the game, we all had fun and her video ended up great. OK are you done?

Chairman of the Board: RPGs and Me – Part 1 of 3: The Distant Past
http://chairmanboard.blogspot.com/2007/11/rpgs-and-me-part-1-of-3-distant-past.html
Chairman of the Board. Monday, November 5, 2007. RPGs and Me – Part 1 of 3: The Distant Past. My first exposure to the concept of interactive fantasy was, like most people, Dungeons and Dragons. Unlike most people though I was not introduced to it by a group of friends, I found it on my own, in this book;. I never actually got to play D&D until a few years later when I got the Dungeons and Dragons Basic Rules set. November 5, 2007 at 7:22 PM. November 5, 2007 at 7:38 PM. That brings back some memories!

Chairman of the Board: RPG’s and Me Part 2: The Recent Past
http://chairmanboard.blogspot.com/2007/11/rpgs-and-me-part-2-recent-past.html
Chairman of the Board. Thursday, November 29, 2007. RPG’s and Me Part 2: The Recent Past. First off, Mage Knight Dungeons. The second game which came much later but was very similar in concept to Mage Knight Dungeons was the new Dungeons and Dragons Miniatures game. Just like Mage Knight it had collectable miniatures, but this was D&D! The third game has quite a different approach to dungeon crawling, it’s called Dungeoneer. These turned out OK. You can see here why these boxes are useful. With all t...
