• Last Friday

• How's your Wiz-War cube coming? ;) haha (Submitted by: Wisdomforwizards)

• Which version of monopoly is the best? (Submitted by: Awdumusprime)

• • Monopoly Gamer
• Board Game Gluttony. It has been an amazing decade for the board game hobby with games being developed and sold on the market as fast as they can be made....like silicon valley in the 1990's. Have we become too critical of board games? I see posts on a hourly basis on Facebook of people poo-pooing almost every game that comes out....but rewind the clock 20yrs and we would be happy for any new game to be released. Do we have too much of a good thing going right now? PS You Guys Rock!! (Submitted by: Mike)

• Should reviewers be more critical of games, or at least review more games they are (or would be) critical of? Seems like every review I go watch is a positive, and tells you to go get or check the game out. (Submitted by: Jerome Nowak)

• What's a bad movie or TV show that would make a good board game? (Submitted by: Jeff Reed)

• What age did you get your children to start playing games with you, and what games did you start with? (Submitted by: Craig M Kennedy)
