AEG Vanguard

Cool,

I'm now in the AEG Vanguard program. So as I close one chapter in my gaming life, I open a new one. With the decline of the Mongoose Infantry program, I'm a bit bummed I won't be working towards more great minis for my Judge Dredd game (Though watch this space for an unboxing review of the Judge Dredd Starter Box set; coming this weekend.)

I'm kinda jazzed about being on the AEG Vanguard though, AEG puts out so many cool board games, and of course L5R CCG/RPG.

Love Letter is a pretty fun fast game
Infinite City is a great game with lots of strategy and a little luck.
Agent Hunter is quick and easy, but still challenging.

I was looking at Doomtown Reloaded this weekend, and it looks like it keeps the same flavor as the original, which I still have all my old cards...heh.

Anyway, none of my local stores are Strongholds, so I know what I'm doing this weekend.

AEG at Game Empire

So out of the blue I dropped by Game Empire with the boys and whoa, AEG was there setting up for demos. Met the owner of AEG and Sean; we sat down to play some games. Now the boys had told me about Smash Up, and wow, let me tell you, I love that game as well, it plays very well with just the basic set, 8 different 'factions' as the boys previously posted about in their review from Gam3rCon. The game is not as fast as I thought it would play, but the combinations of powers makes it very intriguing; and gives it great replayability.

After Smash Up we got to play Love Letter. Weird sounding game for boys to like, but the gameplay is really good, and at $10 it's a steal. It is extremely simple, but still deals with tactics. Very fun, but I'll let Sean explain it more.

Lastly Ian played a game coming out soon, Agent Hunter...he'll be writing that one up, and we have pictures...
