3 Picks From Board Game Geek’s Spring Convention That Anyone can play
Last year, the biggest online fan base of the board games The Board Game Geeks selected the winners of the 2017 Golden Geeks Awards. And the winner was Gloomhaven, the diceless dungeon crawler. Playing board games in this modern century can seem quite old-fashioned. We have people all over with their headsets on playing virtual reality games. And while you can enjoy games with virgin casino promotional code 2018, you would be surprised to note just how popular board games still are.
People still believe in social interaction and getting together around a table. This is why Bthe oard Geek Games started in Dallas, and in few years, has grown so large that they already have like three conventions each year.
The Top Board Game Peeks for You
The spring convention a few weeks ago had brought together over 1000 new board games. The following are some of the few board games that are fun and easy for anyone to play.
- Werewords (Bezier words)
This game has been a classic for campfires. Ted Alspach and Bezier games decided to add on some simple and fun elements to it. The new franchise adds a whole new element from just the regular game. In this game the” villagers” have to guess a secret word that only the “town mayor” and “village seer” know. They will have to keep on answering yes or no questions. That can either be easy or plain ridiculous.
The villagers have to keep on guessing the correct answer with the help of the seer before time runs out. However, the werewolves try to keep the villagers off the track by asking questions that will not lead to the right answer by not revealing their identity. Once the answer is found or time runs out the villagers have a chance to identify who the werewolf is and that is when they win. Its pretty much that simple.
- Stop Thief (Restoration games)
This 70’s game was resurrected by former NASA scientist Robert Doyle. The game simply turns the game players into bounty hunters who have to catch some thieves. The thieves commit various crimes by robbing from the town square that has a bank, museum and some stores. The only clues the bounty hunters get from the thieves is the noises they make while trying to flee.
The noises can be in form of footsteps, broken glasses or creaking windows. In the 70’s the noises were made from a recording but now times have changed. A smartphone app has been created to allow the player to predict where the thief is. This is pretty much the easiest game to come across.
- Panic Mansion ( Blue Orange Games)
Spiel des Jahres manufactured a board game in which parents and children can play in the same level field. Every player holds an eight piece rectangular shaped house. It entails oddly strewed objects such as eyeballs, ghosts and snakes. Moreover,there is a human piece who is known as the “adventurer”.
A card is drawn and the player has to make the adventurer find the treasure chests in the rectangular house. They have to ensure that every treasure is found in the right room.

Red Dead Redemption Remaster 1.03 brings PS5 60FPS

Update: Red Dead Redemption for PS4 only supports 60fps on PS5 via backwards compatibility.
Original Story: Red Dead Redemption PS4 got a patch. Version 1.03’s official description is “General bug fixes, stability fixes, and improvements” and weighs a few hundred MB. However, starting the game will reveal a 60-fps option. It can be turned on and off in the pause menu.
It’s unexpected, but it’s a welcome improvement to a basic, overpriced remaster. We tested the game on PS5 via backwards compatibility and found it running smoothly. Hurrah!
However, we don’t know if base PS4 and PS4 Pro have this option. We’ll update this article when we know.
Red Dead Redemption finally has 60fps—are you happy?

The Final Horizon DLC from Sonic Frontiers is surprisingly hard

Sonic Frontier’s third and final free DLC update, The Final Horizon, is frustrating some players with its difficulty. Some say it’s Sonic’s hardest gameplay ever.
Many players complained about this unexpected difficulty spike in a 12-page GameFaqs forum post called “This DLC is way too hard” (thanks VGC). One of the main complaints about Sonic Frontiers was that it was too easy, and Team Sonic overcorrected, which makes it surprising.
Final Horizon, the last free update, let players play as Tails, Knuckles, and Amy and complete a variety of optional challenges, which is the challenge. Many are breaking down after a vertigo-inducing tower that requires pixel-perfect platforming without checkpoints, apparently inspired by viral Twitch hit Only Up!
Have you tried Sonic Frontiers Final Horizon DLC? Is it really that hard, or has Sonic always been the Dark Souls of mascot platformers?

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Cinematic Teaches Teamwork

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s cinematic trailer appeared suddenly as the wait seemed endless. It shows us that together, we can overcome anything.
The scene is surprisingly sad, with flashbacks to each Spider-Man’s tragic past. As property damages mount, Peter and Miles have emotional internal monologues while fighting Venom.
Venom appears to be about to lose when he realizes they can be stronger together before the scene fades to black. We won’t know how this story ends until Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 launches exclusively on PS5 on October 20.
Do you think teamwork makes the dream work? Should you see more of Insomniac’s latest or are you sold?
