We seem pretty even when it comes to Words With Friends...

GODDAMNIT I had a whole writeup about a few different games and I accidentally lost it.
Ugh. I'll come back later.

Boardgames?
*Pulls up rocking chair*
It was back in '75 when I picked up a little game called Panzer Blitz. Perhaps not the best game for a beginner but there weren't any "Eurogames" back then. Which is just as well since I've always been a military history buff and many eurogames aren't very interesting to me. I followed Panzer Blitz up with many more Avalon Hill (Pre-Hasbro) games. Sadly many of those were lost when I found out too late that a storage unit had a leak.
I was out of gaming for a decade or so and around about when I turned 30 I got back into it. I started pulling out my old games and buying new. Fantasy Flight Games has a whole lot of my money. So does Flying Frog Games. If you're not sick of zombies yet and are looking for a game about them it's really hard to do better than their Last Night on Earth. I'm scratching my wargame itch with GMT Games. I have to give special mention to Hexasim and their Liberty Roads which is the best game about the Allied invasion of France that I've ever played.
Okay, I MAY have gotten a tad link happy but I do love me some boardgames and I've been playing them for ages. One day I hope to be able to win a few games.
Amongst my many regrets is that Ackblom and I didn't get a chance to meet up at the World Board Game championships when it was equidistant between us.

Seriously, this.
LNoE takes the B zombie movie genre and turns it into board game form. It's beautiful and is a great example of why Flying Frog Productions is one of my favorite gaming companies. I have to cut myself off here about it because I'm at work, but expect my next post to elaborate a little bit on it and Fortune and Glory (basically you're a hero in an Indiana Jones-esque movie).
Boiled Dove:
I got into a game of Empires in Arms once, that was a serious time commitment. The people that hosted it had a room closed of and dedicated to the game so we did not have to try to take down and set up the board.
