Remember that card game you played when you were young? Usually done with Rook cards, it had a suit and a trump and you held out fingers to predict how many hands you would take. You started with ten cards and went down to one. Sometimes that last round involved putting the card on your forehead. Do you remember it? What did you call it? It had about a hundred different names and about that many variations. Some smart person, one who recognizes a good game when he sees it, and who must have played th...

The Great Dalmuti: Play it with Hats

The object of the round is to be the first person to get rid of your cards. That lucky/strategic person becomes "The Great Dalmuti." The ne...

We got a new card game for Christmas. Saboteur is described as a cross between Milles Bornes (because obstacles are sometimes placed on another player), Waterworks (in that you're making a connecting path from one object to another) and Shadows over Camelot (think traitor and mostly cooperative game).

The theme and graphics are appealing, sort of Seven Dwarf-ish. Players are miners, trying to tunnel...
