I was thinking that since I took a long hiataus from blogging while I finished my masters, I should re-introduce myself to the 2o2p community.  I currently live in Athens, OH but I'll be moving to Atlanta, GA on Friday to start a new job at Georgia Tech.  It seems to me that 2old2play - being a community for older gamers - certianly has a number of members who enjoy all different types of games, not just video games.

 

The goal of my blog is to spend some time talking about table top games.  Anything from Munchkin to Power Grid; Pureto Rico to Dungeons & Dragons; Settlers of Catan to Tide of Iron is fair game.  I'm going to try to review a game or two each month, rant a little about the table top game industry, spark conversation, and I'll throw in a smattering of personal stuff and video gaming to boot.

 

That said:  Are there any table top games out there people are dying for me to review?  I've got a pretty good list of games I'd like to write reviews on, but I'll always need more.

Grats on the new job! Settlers of Catan is probably my fav game right now. It's got so much variety, but yet is very simple to learn, and a game can take as little as 45 mins.

I attended a board game night last night, there's a new club starting up kind of in the area (30 miles away) and this was their third meet-up so the wife and I decided to go check it out. We played Ticket to Ride, i'd played it a few times before but my wife was totally n00b and she picked up the basics pretty quickly. It was fun and doesn't drag on. I'm interested in Catan as well, they had it there but no one was playing it. Ineed to learn how to play that game. Some people were playing Carcassone too. I know all 3 games are available in XBLA so i may have to pick those up so i can practice.

What about old games: how well does Monopoly hold up as a game. Or Risk?
