Brumpolarbears (22 KP) rated Sushi Go! in Tabletop Games
Jun 19, 2019
A great fast-paced game that is fun for all the family. Easy to pick up rule set, with a cute and colourful rule set. Easy to slip into your bag for train journeys or holidays. The aim of the game is for you to amass the most points by grabbing the best combination of sushi from the deck. An incredibly competitive game that can see your strategy go right out of the window if fellow players get wind. Do you go for the big points and risk not being able to get that final card you need, or do those small points rack up and earn you the victory you want?
BookwormMama14 (18 KP) rated Santa's Sleigh Is on Its Way to Michigan: A Christmas Adventure in Books
Jan 2, 2019
The children of Michigan prepare for Santa's arrival, but he can't make his appearance until they are all in bed and fast asleep!
"The icicles sparkle as snowflakes drift down from Midland to Ann Arbor, and all around."
Although we are not from Michigan, my Grandma lives there. We received this book from her this week and think it's a marvelous idea! Even though we are not familiar with the area, it will be fun for our kids to research the cities as they get older. The illustrations are splendid and the story is very well written. This will be a good encouragement for kids to go to sleep on Christmas Eve. This is a cute and personalized story that will add magic to your Christmas collection.

The Marinated Meeple (1853 KP) rated The Masked Singer in TV
Jan 29, 2019
The costumes (2 more)
some of the singing
so far the celebrities are the right level
The host, nick cannon isn't that great (1 more)
all the rehashing
Better than it should be
This is a good solid DVR show, when you an fast forward thru the stupid parts, and just se the preformances and guess who they might be, it's fun. I think this show would be so much better if They just had 2 or 3 celebrities every week sing in these crazy costumes, and guess for a bit, sing again, guess again, then revealed them. then have 2 or 3 more next week. The comptition side is really dumb, but votes allow the show producers to gage audiences and get demographic information.
Danielle Chaplin (81 KP) rated The Shamer's Daughter (The Shamer Chronicles, #1) in Books

Great start to a series
I got sent a reading copy of this book for an honest review and I am so glad I did. Even though it followed roughly the same lines as a lot of other books it had some nice twists to keep you on your toes, there wasn't any unnecessary description which made it fast paced (I read it in a couple of hours) and it was refreshing to see that there is a bit more realism in how a person is likely to react to a life threatening situation.
I think the story could have been longer but overall I thought it was very well executed and can't wait to read the rest in the series.

MaryAnn (14 KP) rated Forever, Lately in Books
Nov 4, 2019
My Thoughts: This is a truly entertaining novel. It's genuinely fun and engaging. The author has done a marvelous job of bringing the past and future together to make a charming and humorous storyline. The characters are well developed and easy to relate to. Claire is a down to earth young woman trying to make a living writing historical novels; just an average girl whose life is changed forever one night when she puts on her grandmother's shawl. This novel was hard to put down, the plot is fast-paced and keeps the reader entertained.
A historical novel is full of humor and suspense with many twists in the plot that will keep the reader wondering what will happen next. A truly enjoyable read and highly recommended.

jd2105 (10 KP) rated Century: Golem Edition in Tabletop Games
Feb 24, 2020
Great family friendly introductory game!
I really enjoy this game. This is a great game to introduce to people new to the tabletop gaming industry. Century golem edition is a rethemed version of Century Spice Road. Both games are played the exact same way. I prefer Century Golem Edition over Century Spice Road, for no other reason but looks. Century is a great set collection game with minimal "take that" mechanics that can turn people away from other that collecting games. Easy game to play, an easy game to learn, challenging enough for beginners, not so easy for heavier gamers to avoid playing with new gamers.
Emily (1430 KP) rated Civilization II in Video Games
Feb 18, 2020
This is one of the first video games I ever played that wasn't strictly educational, and I loved it.
Simple premise - build a civilization and win over all the others by way of a few different victory conditions.
Having said that, after a few times of playing it through, I found playing with the cheat mode on to be far more fun than getting bulldozered by a bazillion enemy units hiding on one tile. Genuinely never understood how they could produce units so fast!
I think the best bit was the advisors, videoed people (which was a brand new thing in games at the time) and their costumes changed depending on the period, so one of them ended up looking like Elvis! They were all quite funny.
