Board Games Rapid Reviews

Board games, aka tabletop games, are not only a super gift for any age but fun for some old school gaming.  

Here is a rapid review for a collection of random board, card, and tabletop games. Below is a score out of 100 and a super quick teeny-tiny mini-review for 26 assorted games.

DUNGEONS & DRAGONS

Dungeons And Dragons Game Board

Kind of a perfect game. The player has so much input that if they don’t like it, it is their own damn fault. The freedom and adaptability of the game make it truly limitless. (100 out of 100)

Remember the good old days when this was the only form of entertainment you had to while away the hours until death? (50 out of 100)

JENGA

Jenga


The actual game ‘Jenga’ was usually the least fun thing to do with the blocks. I mean, just throwing them at each other is a marked improvement. (58 out of 100)

CHESS

When are we gonna get a Tarantino chess set? (100 out of 100)

 When your friend says they don’t understand chess but they’re great at checkers and you realize they’re a dummy. (70 out of 100)

BATTLESHIP

Battleship

Battleship AKA You sunk my plastic oval. (30 out of 100)

CLUE

Clue Board

More death than an Ouija board, which is also a board game. People, come on, why would Parker Brothers sell something that contacts demons?! Grow up.  (60 out of 100)

YU-GI-OH

0212180038

NERDS! (75 out of 100)

MARBLES

Marbles

Help, I’ve lost my mind! Wait, I think I fucked that up. (40 out of 100)

GUESS WHO?

Guess Who

TABOO

Taboo

You get yourself a good partner, and baby, you’re unstoppable. (76 out of 100)

  • Operation

Maybe if you manage to get a bread basket stuck in your torso and a miniature horse caught in your thigh, you don’t deserve saving. (45 out of 100)

BACKGAMMON

Backgammon

 I have a suspicion that no one actually knows how to play this game. (50 out of 100)

 It’s all fun and games until the dog chokes on a tiny plastic marble. The modern update would surely be called Hangry Hangry Hippos (30 out of 100)

Spanish teachers love this game because it meets the minimum requirements to be considered ‘educational’ so they can avoid teaching (65 out of 100)
