The Games We Play

We a title like that, this post should be about how I screwed over some poor fool or something. However...

Forgot to give the link to Snatch yesterday. If you like word games, you'll love Snatch. Although they've ripped off an old english palour game, Portobello Games deserve congratulations for sticking their necks - and own cash - on the line to produce this version. I highly recommend the game. It can be played casually or competitively. Really nice look to the game, high quality pieces, and it looks good on your coffee table too. Simple rules, no frills, classic game. Educational too. We have our own copy and bought one for Sara for Christmas. The fact that Portobello sold out of stock at the start of the year says it all really. It also won The Times best game of the year award for 2001. Go buy it!

And in case you're wondering, no the makers aren't my friends.

If you want to buy a great card game that IS produced by one of my friends, try Coppertwaddle. One-on-one card game, medium complexity, high quality production, stupid name.

End of the commercial break.
