The Great Snowball Battle - Review

The Great Snowball Battle is a card game from Game Salute (you can buy it for only $20 from their website!) and it is designed by Matthew Link and Jason Snape.  2 to 6 players will take on the rolls of combatants in the ultimate neighborhood snowball battle, just like when you were a card.  A very simple card game.  So what did Mark and the kids think of this one?

Kids Recommendation: High (a little reading required, parent can easily help, mostly numbers)

Smash Up Review

Smash-Up is a card game where you mix up to stacks of cards representing different genres.  For example, you could mix pirates and aliens into a deck.  Then you play a minion and an action on your turn and try to capture locations and earn points.  Tom Vasel had this rated as his #54 game of all time.  Do I agree?  Do you agree with me?

Kids Recommendation: Low (Extensive reading required)
