PGFN 035: Modern Mechanics




Family Night show

Summary:   Board games have evolved and are much different now than the board games we grew up with.  You will  be surprised at how much fun the entire family will have; kids and adults.  Today we share a little bit of that evolution and how games have become even better. I also made mention of a recent presentation by Liz Danforth and Don Dehm for the Arizona Library Association (http://azla.org/) called Beyond Rock Band and Monopoly (http://blog.libraryjournal.com/gamesgamersgaming/2010/11/21/starter-kits-for-games/).  We also share a great related video by Scott Nicholson of Board Games with Scott entitled Breaking Up the Monopoly (http://www.boardgameswithscott.com/?p=403).  Even the title is clever. Today’s games include Wacky Wacky West (http://mayfairgames.com/game.php?id=87&stock=MFG4104&name=Wacky+Wacky+West) and Zenith (http://www.mindware.com/p/Zenith/44003).  Enjoy the show!
