It seems that I've struck on the fact that I really like a diverse set of board game mechanics, that said I've noticed that a lot of board games are designed and advertised for a male audience, hence perhaps why I've given them little thought, as much as it turns out I really adore playing them. Last night I finally played Dominion for the first time and adored it. I think I really rather love this game mechanic (also found in Quariors and ThunderStone) where it's sort of deck building I guess. And this got me to thinking of the diversity of games I really like to play from word games to story telling games to building games to strategy games and so on… and the small game mechanics within them…
I guess board gaming just makes my brain happy for some odd reason and I really do appreciate that fact. Now back to your regular programming I guess… the rain is pounding down pretty hard at the moment.
