Making Moves: Glen More: A Wee Bit O' Scotland
http://spielist.blogspot.com/2011/03/glen-more-of-tracts-sheep-and-strong.html
Musings about Modern Board Gaming. Friday, March 18, 2011. Glen More: A Wee Bit O' Scotland. Glen More, designer Mattias Cramer's first game, is set in the Scottish highlands. In this game, two to five players compete to create the best laid-out countryside using tiles selected from a circular track. The game is played over three scoring rounds and generally takes about 60-90 minutes to play in my experience. March 28, 2011 at 3:38 PM. I definitely need to give this a try if I get a chance! Why Start a B...

Making Moves: Power Grid: Theme and Strategy
http://spielist.blogspot.com/2011/04/power-grid-theme-and-strategy.html
Musings about Modern Board Gaming. Monday, April 18, 2011. Power Grid: Theme and Strategy. Power Grid is definitely a game for the well-rounded. Math and Money Management. From the theme of the game at times while you get out your mental calculator, it actually directly related. So, while the math does get a little burdensome at times and can devolve into a lot of time-consuming number crunching towards the end if you let it, there's a purpose. It really is thematic and a necessary evil of this game,...

Making Moves: Belfort: From the Ground Up
http://spielist.blogspot.com/2011/10/belfort-from-ground-up.html
Musings about Modern Board Gaming. Friday, October 7, 2011. Belfort: From the Ground Up. First off, let me congratulate the entire Belfort team on an excellent game that I predict will land in the BGG top 50 after it becomes widely available. Why? The artwork on the stickers, boards, and other game materials is plentiful, colorful, bright, and fun. Each player takes on the role of a group of dwarves and elves working to build a medieval city (don't leave, stay with me! With the help of some gnomes-for-hi...

Making Moves: Saying Goodbye to a Few Games
http://spielist.blogspot.com/2011/03/saying-goodbye.html
Musings about Modern Board Gaming. Monday, March 7, 2011. Saying Goodbye to a Few Games. All who've come over to my house have seen that my games live on a medium-to-large Ikea bookcase in my study:. It's because of this that I'm saying goodbye to a few games this month: an erstwhile friend, four acquaintances, and two complete strangers. I've already boxed them up and will be sending them off to their new homes today. I bought this game solely because of its provenance - it's designed by Reiner Knizia.

Making Moves: Earthlings Beware: Moongha Invaders Are Here!
http://spielist.blogspot.com/2011/08/moongha-invaders-review.html
Musings about Modern Board Gaming. Monday, August 1, 2011. Earthlings Beware: Moongha Invaders Are Here! Moongha Invaders is a 3- to 4-player game designed by the prolific British game designer Martin Wallace. The game was released in limited quantities by Club TreEmme in 2010. The game artwork was done by Italian artist Luca Zamoc. I first heard about the game on Mark Johnson’s Board Games to Go. Yes Was it worth it? The remaining components, the small discs and cubes, are very nondescript, aside from t...
