Gaming

Gaming is a large part of my life. Here's a partial list of the games that i own

Looney Labs

A small game company with a bunch of good games. They've won a few awards, even. I own almost everything they make, and a nice purple bag to put it all in.

Fluxx

I love this game. I carry it around with me almost everywhere. I'm always up for a game of Fluxx. This was the game that introduced me to Looney Labs. I found it at a local toy store whilst looking for a birthday anniversary present for someone. I don't think i bought it then; definitely not for myself, and i think not for the present recipient. But i came back and bought it later, along with a packet of Fluxx Blanxx from a local gaming store.

Icehouse

Fluxx led me to Looney Labs's website, where i found the myriad other games they sold, along with the "weekly webzine" (now bi-weekly) by the game designer, Andy Looney.

That was how i found icehouse. I got the old Icehouse: The Martian Chess Set for my birthday.

Here's a small list of my favorite Icehouse games:

Chrononauts
Time travel?? Yes!!
Early American Chrononauts
The prequel
Nanofictionary
The card game of telling tiny stories.

I really like this game, but i don't get to play it very often because it requires at least 3 players.

Zombie Fluxx
Fluxx has spawned (ha, ha) a spin-off game. Gamers love zombies.

SJ Games

Makers of the ever-popular Munchkin series.

I discovered Munchkin when a couple of friends gave it (and the expansion) to me for my 14th birthday anniversary. I'd never heard of Munchkin or SJ Games before, and i didn't even know enough about D&D to understand the name. Since then I've introduced a few people to the game myself.

Others

(In no particular order, though somewhat chonological)

Boggle
I played this a lot for a few months, and i haven't played it much since then.
The game of LIFE
I got rid of this one
Five Crowns
Fun
Set
Haven't played it much since the initial "new game" spurt.
Quiddler
Haven't opened it yet.
Harry Potter Uno
Great game. Was replaced by Fluxx as the game i'm always willing to play.
Risk
This game takes forever! The last time i played it was at my 13th birthday party; secret mission variant. 3 hours, almost exactly.

I downloaded and printed the One World Dominion un-official expansion, but never played with it.

Snowball Fight
A friend brought this to my 13th birthday party, and i put it on my christmas list. Players take turns throwing snowballs at each other; the last person standing wins.
Save Doctor Lucky
There's nothing like a game of Save Doctor Lucky to get you in the mood for Kill Doctor Lucky.
