13 Dead End Drive

Next to Battle Masters, this game is absolutely ridiculous to set-up. This is the original edition; the newer version has a pop-up board. Gee thanks! Other than that its decent. Nothing great about it. The board looks cool and the game has a decent concept and story to it. The story is some old, eccentric rich bitch (Aunt Agatha) died and all of her friends are trying to kill each other so they can be the last one to survive in order to inherit her will. Ok, decent story. The game board really lives up to this story well. What a pain to set-up, but it's actually the most unique game board I've ever seen and well worth the effort. The "mansion" is a stunner that includes stairs, a fireplace, and even a chandelier!

The game play even has a strategy. It requires some major thinking since you basically have control over every player during your turn. You gotta plan your moves out ahead of time; similar to clue and chess in that manner. Besides the cool board though, I wasn't too impressed but definitely think its a fun game and worth a play now and then. 7/10

Battle Masters

THIS GAME IS COOL, DON'T GET ME WRONG BUT IT TAKES WAYYY TO LONG TO SET-UP FOR WHAT ITS WORTH. IT WOULD BE WORTH IT IF THE GAME WAS ANY GOOD THOUGH. THE BATTLE CARDS LET TOO MANY PEOPLE MOVE DURING ONE TURN WHICH ULTIMATELY CAUSES MASS CONFUSION DUE TO THE COMPLEXITY OF ONE PERSONS SINGLE TURN. THE GAME HAS A FAST PACE AT THE BEGINNING WHEN YOUR RUNNING TOWARD THE OPPOSING UNITS ARMY WHICH MAKES THE GAME SEEM LIKE THIS GAME HAS THE POTENTIAL TO GET EXCITING. ITS NOT EXCITING THOUGH. A MATTER OF FACT, THIS IS A DICE GAME. WE GOT TO A POINT AT THE END WHERE I WAS LAYING ON THE FLOOR BEGGING FOR IT TO BE OVER. OH YEAH, AND SCREW THAT DAMN RIVER! DON'T GET CAUGHT WITH THIS ON YOUR SIDE OF THE MAT!@#

          The Real Ghostbusters Game

          This is a really cool game with the exact same set-up as 'Which Witch?' 4 rooms and a stairway leading us out and home free. For this game, they've added a twist. Now, in order to pass from room-to-room you must catch a ghost. 1 ghost in every room; 4 total to escape and win. Just like Which Witch this game is balls of fun. It never gets old. Its a great take on the classic. 9/10
