Universal Fighting System

Today I would like to ask another question. Have you ever wondered who would win in a fight between Ryu and Nightmare, Siegfried and Ken, M. Bison and Cervantes? Well with Universal Fighting System (also known as UFS) you can finally find out the answers to these questions. In UFS you get to choose a character card and then make a deck around them using their trademark attacks, support items/weapons, and even their ultimate attacks.

Fire Fly the Boardgame

Today I'm going to talk about Firefly the Game, which is of course based off the universe created by Joss Whedon. In Firefly the game you play the role of a pilot in the verse, and your goal is simple, to hire a crew, take on jobs, and keep flying.

Carcassonne

I would like to tell everybody a little bit about the game Carcassonne. Carcassonne is a game about strategy in laying down floor tiles for the board, making the best use of your resources, and trying to outwit your opponents through the use of farming, churches, watch towers, and cities.

Steve Jackson Games part 4

The final section of the Steve Jackson Games Block is S.P.A.N.C. Just for the record S.P.A.N.C. stands for Space Pirate Amazon Ninja Catgirls, where you play a miscreant moving from caper to caper. Be careful though, it's not only the law who wants to take you down, but the other miscreants as well won't hesitate to stab you in the back. WARNING not for young players, discretion is advised.

Steve Jackson Games Part 3

Continuing full steam ahead with the Steve Jackson Games block I'm going to talk to you about Ninja Burger. A question for you, have you ever been out sky diving, mountain climbing, or even in outer space on a space shuttle and had a craving for a burger? In Ninja Burger you play a ninja who works in fast food delivery where thier moto is "30 minutes or less, or we commit sepuku". In Ninja Burger you are tasked with delivering food to customers by aquiring tools to help you (grappling hooks, hang gliders) and you must always be on the look out for the other ninjas trying to sabotage you, after all, all's fair in love and fast food delivery.

Steve Jackson Games Part 2

Moving right along with the Steven Jackson Games block, we're now going to discuss Chez-Geek. The premise behind the game is pretty simple, you and your friends share a house together and decide one day to see who is the best slacker. You do this by first picking a job card which tells you how much free time and income you have each turn. The object of the game is to collect slack points by buying recreational items, doing leisure things, and basically just wasting time. Beware though your house mates can sabotage your attempts at slacking off by making noise when your trying to sleep and interuppting all kinds of leisure time activities.

Steve Jackson Games Part 1

In this block of posts I am going to cover some games from a man who has become one of my favorite creators Steve Jackson. You can't talk about Steve Jackson Games without discussing Munchkin. Munchkin is one of Steve Jacksons most popular games, imagine if you will playing a role playing game using a deck of cards dealed out at random where the objective of the game is simple, kill monsters, pick up loot, stab your friends, and be the last munchkin standing. The first thing I will tell you is that this game is known for ending friendships. It also has the ability to turn around in the blink of an eye, you could be winning and also finish the game and instantly the other munchkins can turn it around on you.
