Last week Dave asked you what length of board game you prefered, and the consensus looks to have come out that most of you prefer 20 minute to 1 hour long games, after that 1-4 hour and the insanely quick less then 1 minute long games. Surprisingly no one hates boardgames, and no one likes […]

The Wii is Taking a Turn to the Dark Side
While I’ve been an avid fan of console systems and games that Nintendo has produced since its origin, I’ve been slightly disheartened by the game selection in recent years. Nintendo repeatedly has had the fewest titles for their systems since the Nintendo 64 and too many of the select few making production are going down […]
Win, Lose, or Drawn & Quartered
You’d think after attending a 10 day long convention about boardgaming I’d have lots to talk about, wouldn’t you? Well, the truth is, I spent a lot of time talking about game design, and terminology, and related issues while there quite a lot. While I have yet to become sick of talking about games and […]

Boardgame Snap Reviews: Gathering of Friends 2007
So, I’m back, and some of you may be looking for recommendations on new boardgames. Well, in typical Snap Review fashion, here’s my quick impressions of nearly everything I played. I have excluded prototypes, tournaments, and my own games from this list. If you want me to elaborate more on what any of these games […]
Inquisition of the Week: Boardgaming Length
Greetings all, I have returned from the Gathering of Friends. It seems that in my absence that Bartoneus saw fit to throw my avatar in a royal rumble. The people have spoken: they believe I could hold my own against an Umber Hulk riding a Bulette, even when fighting like a girl. I believe that […]
Turtle Power!
We’ve spent so much time here at Critical-Hits in awe over the wonder that is 300 for the past couple of weeks, that we critically failed in bringing coverage on a different movie. A movie that does not rely on eight pack abs and buns of steel to appeal to its audience. Enough of that. […]
