Write Only Memories
I jumped the gun and ordered the Fog of Love after seeing the AMA with the designer on reddit. The game offers a two player board game in the tone of romantic comedies. This premise was very attractive to me, as we lost our gaming groups in Arizona and with the kids, it was hard... Continue Reading →
Today was the first time I joined the board game group at the library! Met real nice people and had lots of fun playing Endeavor together.
I have been slowly working on the zombicide minis. Finally this week I finished painting the regular zombies and fatties. All that remains are the special infected and the heroes.

Then I saw Sorastro's Zombicide painting guide for zombies... Having painted the zombies I thought I was done, but then I saw Consadine's basic basing guide. Well finally tonight...

Azade is old enough to play simple games (Animal upon Animal, Brandon the Brave) but dice throwing has been a problem.
