Movie Rating

Saw esque thriller that has its moments.

Having read the synopsis I was expecting a standard thriller with the usual twist or two (which this one does have) but this was actually an ok film in parts.It sets itself up with a Saw like premise (bunch of strangers..a game that needs to be played) but unlike saw it doesn't rely on blood and gore to dispatch of each player.

The games they are made to play to survive are fairly simple and not taxing on their brain.The characters are fairly one dimensional but I guess most are in these kind of films.

Expect to see a sequel sometime soon.

I have only played this once at the board game meetings. It is an amazing game, but can be pretty rough for a first time player. I was so excited to be a thug. You get into your role, and steal stuff, do illegal business and try to collect as much cash as you can to win the game. I loved the board and I loved the mechanics - but I think you do need experience for this one to get the hang out of it and actually manage to win.

Great fun, even with 4+ players. Game gets pretty long if many people play though. I would definitely play this again!

Milleen (47 KP) rated The Last Mile (Amos Decker #2) in Books

Nov 14, 2018

This is a sequel to ‘Memory Man’ but I do think readers could pick up the background easily. The story follows an FBI task force investigator, Amos Decker, a man who can forget nothing due to an injury as an American Football player. Melvin Mars is a man on death row who needs to dig deep into his past to find out the truth behind his incarceration. It’s a very American thriller with some very staged dialogue, lots of guns and criminology but I really enjoyed the idea of a man blessed and cursed with perfect recall. A tale of twists and turns that kept me reading.

Easy to set up. And easy to play. (1 more)

Build quality is very good.

When built it doesn't fit in its box. Not really an issue. (0 more)

Fun family/kids game

Loopin' Louie was bought for our boys from an avid board game player. The idea is to knock each other's chickens off the roof tops of their coupe's, you knock them off using Louis's airplane that spins in the centre of the game. You have to defend your chickens by flipping Louis in the air making him do some terrific aerial manoeuvres, and hopefully knocking off chickens from an opponent roof top. A great giggle of a game.

Dragon Drive seems like it will be a cute manga series. A high school boy that's not good at anything tries his hand at a high-tech virtual reality game that allows the player to ride and interact with a dragon partner during battles with other players. He gets paired up with a pathetically scrawny dragon, and has to figure out how to make it fight. The interaction with his dragon is pretty funny since everyone else seems to have huge, powerful dragons. The fact that there were several battles in volume one seemed a little repetitive, but the cute dragon made up for it.
