If you loved normal Betrayal - GET THIS
Betrayal is already such a fun game to play to have a good story telling time with friends. This legacy game takes that story telling aspect to whole new level. With simple mechanics and easy to learn rules, this game can be fun to play with any group of friends. The only reason this isn't a 10/10 review is because sometimes the campaign gameplay gets repetitive and stale, and there is still the rare occasion where a certain side is very OP before the haunt starts and they'll win very quickly.

I was hoping for more out of this book. It was a bit shocking at times and I had to keep reading to find out what happened, but when it was over....I wasn't impressed.

It was a bit spiritual and historical but a bit far fetched. I really wanted it to be more descriptive and delve a bit more into the characters and their relationships. I got confused sometimes as to who was who in the town and how they were related.

It was interesting and kept my interest til the end but wasn't my favorite book. Just Ok I'd say.

feels like you are building a castle with blueprints
Incredible balanced, semi puzzle, with competitive aspects, and lots of economic and point scoring strategy.
I love this game, it's so much fun to play, and even has a one player version, my wife and I sometimes play separately and send each other pictures of the final blueprints. it's fun to imagine them actually existing with a bowling alley next to a kitchen and a garden a few feet from a torture chamber. The expansion adds some more fun with new rooms and secret passages.

Solo game with friends.
Yahtzee can be a fun game, but it's completely random and the player has no way to mitigate this. It's more of a solo game, even if you're playing with other people. It can bog down sometimes when someone cannot make up their mind about where to place there dice, or which to reroll. In a game that leaves the player with no way to control or mitigate chance, when the game bogs down it can feel insufferable.

Very simple game about Gardeners and Pandas
It's a pretty little game, simple and easy to learn and teach. I personally wish it could play with more players. this game has the depth of a deeper party game. I've not yet tried the expansion. That said the components are wonderful. My only complaints are that it's easier to get some card completed than others and the points awarded don't reflect how easy some are to do. Plus it's luck based with the dice rolls to get done hat you want to do sometimes.

Strategy level is good
Enough luck on the draw of the cards to keep games from being blowouts
Very fun
Theme not needed. Could just be cubes, coins and cards (2 more)
Cubes not color-blind friendly. Gems from Golem edition much better and prettier
Overpriced. Golem edition even more so.
Simple game for everyone that will have you hooked
This game is simple to teach, easy to learn. The strategy level is very good, but even if you have strategy, it depends what cards come out to help you. This keeps the game on an equal playing level sometimes.

Thought provoking and sometimes scary as hell!
I love this podcast. Paranormal investigators, Dave and Tim talk over all topics from ghost to aliens, cryptids and everything in between. Weekly they do a Supernatural News and Parashare episode that is one of the highlights of my podcast feed. Other episodes are very topic driven and guest driven. Make sure you give it at least 3 episodes to decide if you like it or not.

Great sequel to a modern classic!
The 2nd Jurassic Park film sometimes gets a bad wrap or lost among the several sequels which have followed, but this movie was actually quite good as well.

Just the right mix of returning and new characters for more dinos to scare, chase and feast upon. Several of the action sequences keep you on the edge of your seat and keep you intrigued the whole way through.

Some say the ending was over-the-top, but I loved every minute of it. Now would be the time to rewatch.

My first comment when I finished this book "well that was different" - I dont know why I always feel that way after reading a Rowell book, and none will ever compare to Eleanor and Park for me so none will get 5 stars but this book was kind of adorable. It was also kind of stalkerish and I feel like I should have more issues with that then I did - I mean talk about awkward. It technically all made sense in the end but I was like, wow, this is too much sometimes - ah well, can't win em all

I used to love Pandora but then I started having a lot of problems with it. I love a lot of artists so I had a lot of stations and I found sometimes going through my stations that some of my stations wouldn't be there anymore. It kept doing this no matter how many times I tried to fix it so that's when I got tired of it and just switched back to Spotify.
