Welcome to The Board Game Guy.com 
 


In the past, game nights consisted of games like Monopoly and Scrabble. The world of boardgames has evolved and has brought with it games that are more challenging, innovative, less playing time and has a higher replay probability. Games like Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, and Settlers of Catan are quickly becoming some of the most popular games out there. Games like these are only the gateway to the many award winning designer boardgames available that will have you gathered around the table with your family and friends for gamenight.
 
Be sure to check out the "Game Blog" tab to see what games i've been playing lately, as well as the "Newsletter and Game Releases" to read about what's going on in the board game world.
 
This site also offers Top 5 Lists of different game genres, an extensive list of boardgame choices, game choosing advice, and an opportunity to purchase games priced well below retail.
 
Buying a boardgame without having played it can be difficult, which is why we offer "Beyond the Boardwalk". Bringing gamenight to your home, this 90-minute presentation teaches you the rules of 3 top games and gives you the opportunity to play them firsthand before making a purchase. I also do custom game demos as well. Pick a couple games you'd like to play before you buy, gather a few friends to learn some new games.

Game of the Week
 
(2-4 Players)
 

You are an apprentice to a great sushi master, and you have spent the last ten years honing your skills in preparation for this day— your final test before earning the title of expert chef: Itamae-San.

Sushi is about culinary expertise, and you must always strive to master your skills while serving an array of vivid colors, mouthwatering tastes, and creative combinations. The test will be difficult. You must compete against the other hopefuls, all working in the same confined area to produce recipes of varying complexity. Only one of you will earn the respect of your teacher, and the revered title of Itamae-San!
