Geeks!


We're geeks! Really we are, and we embrace it and show the world. One of the big things we do at Parkway Manor when leisure time is readily available and neither of us is too stressed about work, is play games. Sure we have some of the classics; but we are really fond of more strategic games. Many of these types of games are called "German-style games" or "Eurogames." Usually they include lots of bits and bobbles, rely heavily on strategy and less on luck. Sometimes you are trying to balance resource production to meet another outcome, gaining victory points. These games can take 45 minutes to several hours. After the initial investment of the game, you are left with plenty of entertainment!

If you follow along on Jason's blog, Footnotes, you can read reviews of games like Pandemic.
