A to Z 2015 : LEGENDARY

A to Z 2015 : LEGENDARY

The next entry into my A to Z gaming theme features one of my favorite Deck-Builders to date. I'm now three expansions short of having a complete collection, and that fact kind of drives me mad. I want any and all cards I can get for this game, but unfortunately promos are limited to events like Gen Con, which I rarely can afford to attend.

If you are a fan of Marvel comics, movies, and/or love thematic superhero games and you haven't checked out this selection, you are missing out, because it's...

Our next game is one I had the opportunity to play once some friends returned from Gen Con 2014. Since then, I have played it maybe a dozen times. So far it seems that everyone who's played the game has enjoyed it.

While it's predecessor may be deemed a Gateway game, I hesitate to say that this qualifies. Things got a tad more complicated once the monsters ventured to The States in...

Unfortunately (for me) I don't own any games that begin with "J", and I couldn't think of a game that started with the letter that I'd played either. A handful I've wanted to, but yet to find the opportunity. But the Ladyfolk insisted I feature one of her all time favorite games that she owns, despite attempting to focus on more modern games.

Then again, the selection does have a modern spin to it, and so I conceded. Let's take a look at an explosive variant of a classic...

This next entry is another fast, fun filler game that is accessible to people of all skill/experience levels. It's not a game about resource management, like Hornet, but of a genre I'm slowly becoming a bigger fan of. Press Your Luck. These games involve choices that result in great rewards or huge busts!

Let's take a moment to explore...

I am going to go off the reservation some here. I've made it a point to only post about games that I've played. Whether I owned them or not doesn't matter, though it certainly helps for pictures.

This next entry is a game I planned to play this week before "H" hit, but circumstances didn't allow for that. So while I own it, I haven't played it. I am, however, trying to play it tonight with a gaming group, so I can update afterwards. I'm hoping the game packs a punch. Or a sting...

It’s been a long while. I briefly discuss some of this year’s shortcomings, and in doing so, find it’s just more of the same.

Extra Life Game Day 2021 has arrived! It’s Year 8 for myself and I am looking forward to once again raise money for Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare. Team Cryton Crusaders is ready (kind of) for the annual fundraising event involving a 24-Hour Gaming Marathon! I kept last year’s fun, but likely impossible Milestone to reach!

Learn more about the challenge where my team and I play games and heal kids!

This year for the A to Z Challenge 2017 Meta MTG presents the Magic Mixer! What's that mean? Your guess is as good as mine... What I do know, however, is that this year's theme is obviously still all about Magic: The Gathering!

Join me as I attempt to highlight a different Magic set each day of the challenge in different ways, from pack openings to discussions about a set's storyline and/or mechanics!
