Star Wars Imperial Assault board game box

Star Wars Imperial Assault – count us in!

The announcement from GenCon that we’re most excited for came from Fantasy Flight Games about Star Wars Imperial Assault.
Star Wars Imperial Assault is going to be awesome!

The format of the game is just like another hit board game that the boys and I love playing – Descent: Journeys in the Dark 2nd Edition.

Descent is set in a fantasy world where a group of heroes ventures out on a series of quests against a mighty overlord. As the campaigns progress, our characters and abilities become more powerful and we enjoy a lot of great strategic battles in dynamic quest maps.

So when we heard we’ll soon be able to battle in a similar manner in the Star Wars universe, how could we not get excited!

Telestrations – New Favorite Party Game

After just 1 play, Telestrations became mom’s favorite party game.

Do we really need to say anything else?

We’ve mentioned Telestrations in some of our recent posts because it’s such a great game for family get-togethers (Top 11 Games for Family Gatherings, Thanksgiving = Great Board Games). But now it’s time to give it a full party game review.

Wits and Wagers Party is another big hit

Wits and Wagers Party is another fantastic family party game from North Star Games! It brings the best of both worlds from the original Wits & Wagers game and the Wits & Wagers Family Edition, but adds a twist that we really like.
