Amazing Gateway Game, Easy to Learn, Beautiful, Fun Theme, light strategy.
Although this game can have frustrating moments, it's a really fun light game for kids. the light choices of going around the outside for more treasure, or the inside for more speed, and the idea of rolling the dice first and then choosing how to use them based entirely on the cards you have in hand, provides a touch of strategy, but not enough for A.P.

For heavier gamers who like complexity, this is way too light. But the art is gorgeous and fun.

The Good Guys Win Again
I know I am not your conventional gamer, I'm over 50 and a woman, but my son thought I should try this, as I have enjoyed playing other similar format games. I agreed, albeit unwillingly, but was hooked within a short time. I found that time ran away with me, when I was being Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, and I wanted to complete one more mission, find one more treasure, and rescue one more innocent. The story was easy to follow, the maps fairly easy to read, and the graphics made it a very pretty place to venture around. All in all, I am very happy that my son talked me into playing, and am now on game 7 in the series, and still loving them!!!!

Egg and Guts are headed to the New Lands to try to find the treasure map they've found. But their journey will be dangerous with hostile Natives and a settlement that has an edict against foreigners. Will they survive long enough to explore the wilderness?

A great middle grade novel, this one picks up where the first one ended (so read it first). The characters are fun, charming, and feel real. The plot takes some great twists and I was shocked a time or two by what Egg learns along the way. Can not wait for the third and final book to come out.

NOTE: I won an ARC of this book in a contest.

Alliance is one of those mobile RPGs where you gain heroes and fuse them together to power them up. It takes a fair amount of strategy to decide which heroes to keep and which to "eat." The battles are turn-based--you can choose to play them manually or set the game to automatic. There is also a variety of things to do: gather armor, mine for gems, explore rifts for treasure, etc., and that's not including the main campaign.

I like Alliance because you don't need cash to have a fun experience with it. The art is pleasant to look at, and as I said, the mechanics are amusing. I imagine this is one of those apps where I'll be obsessed with it for a few months and then forget about it entirely, but in the meantime, yay
