Another great issue. Love the free print-and-play game.
An enjoyable issue.
That's a rather intrigiung sounding list of reviews.
I particularly enjoyed the article on collecting board games. I am guilty of a shelf of shame and an ever-growing collection, just like the author.
Great issue. Thanks!
Thanks for the contest. Been wanting Wreck Raiders!

LETS DO IT
Love your games!
After amassing so many huge game boxes, I've really started getting more interested in smaller box games, plus I love to see the ingenuity involved in smashing lots of play into a tiny container. Thanks for bringing these to my attnetion, I have a buddy totally into outdoor cooking to share Barbecubes with!
Illiterati looks interesting, like to see reviews to see how others feel.
Great issue, and thanks for the contest

Fun site!
I'm so glad to see new board games to keep the interest of the younger generations engaged. I'm a firm believer in family game night and even inviting neighbors, coworkers and friends to a board game night ... it's so refreshing in today's age of electronics dominating
Very interesting
