Cities & Knights, Psychonauts, and Moar!
Sunday, January 31st, 2010A typical Friday night, for me, is spent playing a game of some type. For the past few weeks, it’s been all about AI War, but when Paul called to ask Justin and me to come over on Friday for board games, I was psyched. It may not seem awhile, but the last time we’d played board games was new year, so I was itching to play again!
Before I dive into the deep end, I just wonder: when people think of board games, do they think of games like Monopoly and Scrabble? And if so, are those considered casual board games? Furthermore, are games like Settles of Catan and Battlestar Galactica and Arkham Horror considered “hardcore” board games? We play a variety of both, but (much) more often than not, we’re playing some kind of insane board game that takes ~6 hours to beat–and no, it’s not Monopoly.
Anyway, all questions aside …
I am a twentysomething web and graphic designer located in sunny-but-oh-so-smoggy Los Angeles, California. I love games of all sorts (video, board, RP, etc), eating, designing, reading, writing, drawing, and eating! I graduated from UC Berkeley in 2007 with a B.A. in English. Now I'm attending Cal State LA, working on a Masters in graphic design. Nice to meet you!
