StumbleUpon Find: Dice Wars
Posted on February 19, 2007
I was getting worried about finding a game for today. But StumbleUpon is a wonderful thing, and it led me to Dice Wars, a game that is basically the card game War, except with dice. Yeah, so that doesn’t sound like much fun, since War is basically a game of luck. But Dice Wars is so much cooler than that.
You start off as color and you have a portion of the board. Your goal: hostile take-over of all of the countries occupied by other colors. How do you do it? Roll against them, of course. You have an upper hand if you have more dice than the your rivals.

Strangely compelling simple game
Posted on February 14, 2007
The flash version of Tower Blaster offers you eight levels of tower blasting fun. Okay, scratch that. This isn’t a shooter game. There’s nothing remotely violent, except for when you manage to build your tower in a slightly less funky way than when it starts.
I probably should be a little clearer as to the task you must undertake. You need to build a tower that increases in number from top to bottom. (Meaning, you shouldn’t put the number 50 on the number 1). Meanwhile, the computer (who plays Vikings in this particular incarnation), is trying to do the same thing. The person who gets the tower in order from lowest to highest first, by using the pieces in the draw pile, wins. Which is where the blaster part of the game’s name comes in: the winner effectively disassembles the other’s tower by throwing some kind of weaponry at it.
This game is interesting, simple, and fun, making it a great time waster for when you should be doing other things.

American Geography Game
Posted on February 11, 2007
50 States is a game that tests your knowledge of American geography. It’s a good brain exercise, so try to overlook the drabby colors. And the fact that Hawai`i and Alaska are floating in the middle of an ocean that seems to be missing South and Central America.
