Sometimes I think people are willing to cut games a little slack when they look really great but don’t play as well as they should. Whereas I’m more likely to enjoy a game that is unattractive but that plays really well. (What does that say about me?) So when there is a good looking game that’s really fun to play I get downright excited! (See my article on Pentago…I was drooling while playing that game!) Anyway, Dweebies is just that kind of game. I saw it at Gamewright’s booth at Toy …

I like word games, but only specific word games. You will probably never see me review Scrabble on this site because I think it takes far too long to play and I find waiting for slower players to take their turn agonizing. I also refuse to memorize the Scrabble dictionary, which I feel that you need to do to gain a solid win against the stronger players. Boggle, however, I love. It’s “the 3-minute word search game” that everybody plays at the same time. And for those of you who …
