I went into this hoping it would be comprised of descriptions of why the contributors love these games, but too often they're straight-up descriptions that are no different from box copy or reading the manual. Disappointing - but more of a problem with me than with the text. RPGs, miniatures, wargames, and board games are all covered. Very interesting mix of essays on games. There's some really good essays in this collection. The slightly low rating is that many are a bit repetitive and tend to describe the mechanics of games rather than what made the games enjoyable. I think this is an excellent book to own and read through the essays slowly here and there as a game catches your interest. Scott's Haring essay on Illuminati is a great example of one that captured the spirit and what made the game great. That being said, I'm likely to re-read this one before I return it to the library, taking better notes on games I want to play. (just in case any read this and are board gamers, you can find me as jtgorman at http://boardgamegeek.com) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

I guess you could say I loved this book so much I decided to publish it. I'd think it was pretty swell even if I hadn't been involved at all. ( )
