 The Big Deal:  Critical Mass

We discuss mass market games, their good and bad qualities, and their effect on the gaming hobby in general.

 Mass market games that we would recommend:

-         Heroscape
-         Blokus
-         Risk
-         Apples to Apples
-         Imaginiff
-         Wits and Wagers
-         Sorry Sliders
-         Yahtzee Free-For-All

 We've told you what we think, but what are YOUR opinions about mass market games? E-mail us at [e-mail] or post in our guild!

 Buy, Try, or Deny: Wizard’s Gambit

We take a look at this new card game from Gryphon Forge Games.  Does it have all the right “ingredients” to make a magical game?  We tell you whether it’s a buy, try, or deny.
