BGB Volume 46 - Party Games and Last Minute Stocking Stuffers

A bad cold has severely delayed my annual Last Minute Stocking Stuffer show (at this point, it really is the very last minute) and even so, you'll still hear the frog in my throat. But I wanted to get a chance to recommend both some mini-games that will fit into your stockings as well as some great party games to try out at your holiday parties for Christmas, Kwanzaa, or New Year's Eve. Because you should bring games to those parties! Just bring some games that are friendly to the casual or non-gamers. This show will mention some real winners in that category:

Wits & Wagers   Werewolves of Miller's Hollow   Word Blur

Quelf   Qwirkle   (in case you thought using Q and W games) Gifttrap

And the stocking stuffers:

No Thanks!   6 Nimmt!   Coloretto   Felix: Cat in the Sack

Power Grid Expansion   Vexation   Escalation   R-Eco

In addition to the roundup of great party games and smallish stocking stuffers, I also interview Dominic Crapuchettes from Northstar Games - who provides us with an exciting announcement about their plans in 2008.

Thanks to all listeners for downloading and hearing the show this year. Happy Holidays to all!

There may be one more show before the year ends but who knows once the holidays start in earnest.
