In which I love games
I’m sorry, I hate referencing xkcd — I often feel like everyone does it. But today’s post gave me a good laugh.
And speaking of games, here’s a gem I found: The 100 cupcake game. Someone baked cupcakes and decorated them with clues to popular childhood games. It’s completely nostalgic… and a little tough as well. Between Chris and I, we were only able to get about 70 or so. Not bad for being what I consider “soft gamers”.
Ticket To Ride
Also, I was recently introduced to Ticket To Ride! I loved it! The game play design was incredibly simple but there was a lot of strategic decision involved. Pick it up if you can. I’m about to start a board game club if more people don’t learn this game. It’s 45 minutes worth of perfectly addictive fun.
Finally, to keep with the recent events… iPhone games that I hope will benefit from being on the iPad!:
- A multi-player Flight Control game
- Facebook version of Bejeweled Blitz
- Desktop Tower Defense
- And a no-brainer: Simple Board Games!
