Watched the first episode of Castle Rock. I think I found my show. I've been depressed and not wanting to watch anything, especially Game of Thrones. I used to watch that with my ex-husband and it just reminds me of him. I think I'm finally forgoing the funk. Let's hope it lasts.

Hello and good morning boardgame geeks. I received my kickstarter copy of Volfyirion and have done the unboxing and a gameplay of the game. Come have a look hit the subscribe and more is to come as well.
We have a prototype game on the way as well which will hit Kickstarter in the next few months. I can’t wait for it to arrive.

I used to watch the original To Tell the Truth; the old one in black & white, late at night on the Game Show Network, and loved it. It was charming, classy, intriguing, delightful, and funny. So I was excited when the modern iteration of the game show came out. I'm not a huge fan of the host but he's tolerable. What I don't like is his mother, Doris. She makes disgusting sexual comments that are highly inappropriate to the male contestants. Comments that would not be tolerated if a man were making them toward a woman. The men are visually uncomfortable with her remarks but they play it off like it's a funny joke, but it isn't. I'm appalled that that level of sexism is allowed on television in the post #metoo movement world. I would have thought that people realized that you can't treat people like a piece of meat but apparently Doris did not get that message. She needs to go! Boot her off the show!

Other than her, they have people with interesting secrets and truths to tell on the show and it's fun to try to guess which one of the contestants is the one with the secret. It's a shame that Doris has to spoil an otherwise entertaining show.

I love all her complicated-Southern-family books, but the protagonist of this one is a woman who makes a living as a comic book artist/graphic novelist, and also has weekly board game nights
Critic- Alicia K.
Original Score: 4 out of 5

Better than it should be, I actually look forward to my DVR
this is just a fun show with good humor and interesting cases, It'll never beat game of thrones, but its one fo the few comedies on TV that are funny without being over the top.

It's usually just outlasting your opponents rather than directly eliminating them (0 more)
Play tiles to keep your dragon in play by not crashing into other dragons or flying off the board.

It's good as a quick game while waiting for people to show up. You probably wouldnxt want to play it multiple times in a row.

Darker Still
This 2nd book is where the Game picks up. Characters start to grow. Tyrion, Jamie even, Sansa and Arya all begin to show signs of major growth. With the realm awash in choas the plot thickens in a delightfully dark way. It was a book I simply didnt put down till it was done!

A beautiful game with lackluster rewards
I loved spending hours in this game watching the scenery from horseback, waiting for the virtual animal I was hunting to show up, and discovering new and fascinating places. It carried the game well for a while, but once I finished the main plot, there wasn't much else that held my attention. I completed the master hunter challenges to get a different holster skin? Seems a bit weak to entice people to try to complete challenges. When you can buy some of the more impressive game items in the shops; holsters, belts, and jackets are just a weak enticement at best.
Rockstar usually does a good job of balancing the purchasable items from the earned items in games, but this one seemed an afterthought. If this was better, it would have been the best game I'd ever played.

Only watched the first three episodes and Im already booked when I started watching the first episode I had been playing Witcher 3 wild Hunt already and the show reminds me alot of the game from geralt to triss and yennifer. At first I wasn't sure about Henry cavill as geralt of rivia because he's superman but he has the role down to a tee from his look his voice just perfect. Anyway gonna keep watching the remaing five episodes to see where the show goes and also keep playing Witcher 3
