For some gamers "salad" is a thing to be avoided at all costs. In the land of delicious pub food, why would you waste precious space on your plate reserved for more satisfying choices? But what, I ask you, if your salad scored you points? HA! Is this some new genetically modified vegetable concoction you ask. No! It is not. It is a this weeks game. Listen in as Alex and Kaz play the aptly named in all ways, Point Salad.
Trying to understand someone else's intentions is confusing at the best of times. Now try doing it without words and limited options. Not only is it confusing, but it becomes pretty zany fun. This week Alex and Kaz attempt to read each others minds in the challenging, but oh so satisfying game, Similo.
It's hard to explain this weeks game. I mean, at its heart it is based around the preparation to play a game, not the game itself. Can that be fun? Does that make sense? See?! It's hard to explain this game! Anyway, this week Alex and Kaz take a look at Roll Player. It's pretty good.
Ah the circus. A bizarre spectacle from a time long passed. But imagine the circus in its heyday, strongmen, acrobats, jugglers, the ringleader. Now imagine them all with giant weird flea heads and you've got Uwe Rosenberg's Circus Flohcati. This week Alex and Kaz try out this weirdly designed but fun family game.
