December 20, 2013November 24, 2017Sophie Brown

Formula D attempts to recreate the thrill of Formula One and illegal street racing in a board game. GeekMom Sophie shows us how well it did.

Catching Fire: Seeds of Rebellion The Board Game

November 22, 2013November 24, 2017Sophie Brown

My fear for Catching Fire: Seeds of Rebellion was that it would be a badly designed product existing purely as a movie tie-in; but there is quite a bit more to this game than first meets the eye.

'Scrabble' Meets the Periodic Table in 'Elemensus'

June 6, 2013November 24, 2017Sophie Brown1

May 1, 2013November 24, 2017Sophie Brown

Late to The Game: Dice Games

April 24, 2013November 24, 2017Sophie Brown1

As fantastic as board games are, they can be very long and very complex. During game nights it can be nice to break up the more long-winded games with short, simple ones and dice games fit the bill perfectly. Here are three of my favourite dice games to play quickly between longer rounds of Catan and Magic.

Late to The Game: Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures

April 12, 2013November 24, 2017Sophie Brown

The Star Wars X-Wing Miniatures Game brings space battles between the Galactic Empire and the Rebels to your tabletop by allowing you to fly your favorite ships from the Stars Wars saga into battle. I had never played a miniatures game before and was looking forward to trying out a whole new style of game-play in one of my childhood fictional universes.
