Readers,
I suppose at the end of the day, tabletop board games are a form of entertainment. They allow us to exercise our minds. They make us smarter and more creative. They allow us to build cities and nations, participate in a revolution or explore the vastness of time and space. They even allow us to lie and cheat and win in grand moments of theater while your friends sit there in awe of your apparently new-found ability to bluff. It’s amazing what a few cards, some cardboard and a few plastic bits can achieve. That is what I love about games. The level of pure, unadulterated, personal interaction and immersion that is possible to achieve through games with relatively simple rules, beautiful artwork and clever mechanics is nowhere to be found in any other form of entertainment. So yes, at the end of the day, tabletop games are simply a form of entertainment, but I can not imagine a better form it could take.
I should introduce myself. My name is Andy and I am very excited to be part of Through Gamer Goggles as board game reviewer. I hope to do as much justice to gamer-goggles.com and the games that I review as I possibly can. I have a many obsessions in my life. This should allow me to effectively vent two of them; board games and writing. I truly hope you guys will enjoy my articles and if you do, you can look forward to hearing from me a lot more often in the future in both written and video form. Please look forward to my first review coming up very soon. The GenCon pre-release One Night Revolution by Indie Boards and Cards. Thanks guys, and go out there and play some games!

In this Box Breaking I open up the tile placement game, form Rather Dashing Games, Pirates, Ninjas, Robots and Zombies.
I have played this and I approve. Watch for our demo game in the upcoming weeks.
At Gen Con I had the chance to catch up with Scott Hill from Flying Frog Productions. We chatted for about an hour so I broke it down into three parts. This part we talk about the history of the frog, the philosophy of their business model and the story behind their name.
In Part 2 We focus on Shadows of Brimstone.
In Part three we talk about everything else the frog has to offer, Dark Gothic, their approach to game design – standards, and future releases.
I look forward to many great things from the “Frog”.

Ronnie tells us about Dungeon Saga the Kings of war rules what’s new for Warpath and Daeadzone and the Dreadball ranking system that’s coming soon.
I played Dungeon Saga and it has a good feel to it. What I mean by that is it’s not like some of the other dungeon crawl games on the market where you feel like your’e playing a board game. In Dungeon Saga I felt like the mechanics blended well with the story too. I will definitely be bringing more to you in the near future.
I chat with John about Lug (the big guy behind him) Soda Pop Relic Knights and the demise of plastic, Void Break, Ninja All stars, and AvP
