This game is easy to assemble, and not complacated to learn. The balls are soft and less dangerous than harder balls. The game is challenging enough, yet anyone can play. The area needed is about 30 feet, but could be played in smaller area. It is a good game set.Get more detail about Maranda Enterprises Double Ladderball Game.

Race For The Galaxy: The Gathering Storm Immediately
"The Gathering Storm" is Rio Grande's first expansion for Race for the Galaxy a card game where players eke out a space civilization by exploring, conquering, settling and developing technologies.
Players simultaneously select a role card. The roles are respectively: Explore, Develop, Settle, Consume and Produce. The role cards are revealed and resolved in role card order. If you play a role card, you get the bonus for playing it. If you didn't play a role card (i.e. your opponent played it), you get to use the role's general effect. For example: if you play "Explore", you draw 3 cards and may keep 2; otherwise you draw 2 cards and may keep 1.
Players play planet cards during the Settle phase and technologies during the Develop phase. Once a player has played 12 cards (called a tableux) the game will end. Players score points for their planets, developments and for consuming goods. The player with the highest score wins.
With experienced players, this game can play quickly (around 30 minutes or less). However, the iconography of the cards is counterintuitve and thus the learning curve is surprisingly steep. This is a minor consideration if you are a hardcore gamer. But it should be noted: Race for the Galaxy makes a poor gateway game for your non-gaming friends and family.
This expansion adds more cards and a couple of new mechanics. The new cards are merely new planets/developments. The new mechanics include a solo version of the game. A player may play against a "robot". I find this to be quite silly. Race for the galaxy is already a game of solitaire even when you have 4 people playing. The clunky robot mechanic is something that only the most diehard Race fans will ever use.
The expansion also includes objective tiles. Players can score bonus points for completing these. This is a nice addition. You can plan your long term strategy around scoring these objectives. Also, the expansion includes enough pieces to play up to 5 people.
My biggest gripe with Race for the Galaxy is that there is virtually no player interaction. There is no conflict. No auctions, no bidding mechanics, no way to screw over your opponents who have a lead. This is effectively a four player solitaire game with interstellar chrome.
Race for the Galaxy hits our gaming table with some regularity. It's a quick game and thus is a decent filler. But if you want an interstellar game with player interaction you will need to look elsewhere.Get more detail about Race For The Galaxy: The Gathering Storm.

Pretty Pretty Princess Dress-Up Board Game Review
OMG! I remember this! i loved playing this as a kid. It was my favorite game. My parents bought it for me and i still have it 16 years later. I lost intrest in it when i got older, but i remember playing this with my mother and father. It holds some of the best memories. I say give this to your child, it's simple and perfect for little girls who want to play dress up or a game. It's a perfect compromise as well.Get more detail about Pretty Pretty Princess Dress-Up Board Game.

Maranda Enterprises Double Ladderball Game This instant
We played another version of this game at a friend's house and I ordered this after reading a number of reviews of sets like this one. I like the softer balls, since we have a son who likes to get in the way and since I tend to throw them everywhere but where they are directed. It seems really sturdy. Very happy customer.Get more detail about Maranda Enterprises Double Ladderball Game.

Rio Grande Games Carcassonne Big Box # 2 Right now

Carcassonne is a great game - my husband and I play every weekend and we never get tired of it. Because it's a tile-placing game, the game board looks different every time and so the game feels very different each time we play. We've been playing consistently for over 2 years and I would say that only now have we essentially mastered most of the strategy involved in the game. It's thoroughly entertaining.Get more detail about Rio Grande Games Carcassonne Big Box # 2.

Low Price Settlers of Catan Seafarers Game Expansion
Just played this for the first time with my wife and my 7 and 5 year old boys. We had played the original Settlers of Catan several times, and this one was even more fun. My boys loved building boats, and though my 5 year old is not exactly one for strategy, he had a blast building tons of boats along his island (he ended up with the most boats).
We played this game 2 days ago, and ever since, we hear nothing out of them but "When can we play Seafarers of Catan again?" All in all, a great addition to an already great game in Settlers, and a must have for board game afficianados.Get more detail about Settlers of Catan Seafarers Game Expansion.
