A few years ago I signed up for the affiliate program over at Funagain Games. For a while I was looking at how much money I had made in commissions and after a while of not making anything I forgot about it.
This morning, on a whim, I took a look and discovered I had earned about $30 worth of credit towards buying some games. Or should I say game.
Games are not cheap these days and the lower end of the good games starts at about $30. Funny how board games are in the same price range as video games!
So, as I'm looking over the site I start to ask myself, "what game should I get?"
The first question to ask is, "what games are already in Steve's collection?" The answer can be found over on Board Game Geek where I list my collection.
BGG has some cool widgets you can add to your site but when I tried they either did not work or I did not feel like taking the time to resize them properly.
So, please leave a comment with a game you think I might like.

GTA 4 ? :p
That’s a video game! I’m talking board games here.
oh shoot, sorry steve! I don’t know any cool board games
Here are a few of my favorites.
Luck of the Draw is by Gamewright. Players draw a subject then all players vote on best drawing in random categories.
Boochie is also from Gamewright and is an outdoor game. You have a 12-sided Boochie ball that you toss and then have a ring and a ball that you throw to get as close to the boochie ball as possible. As you accumulate points, you throw the ball different ways like behind your back, one one knee.
Wits and Wagers is a fun trivia game for large groups. I’d say to really have a lot of fun, you need 6 players.
One cute game we have is Animal Express(Tier Express). It’s from Haba, a German toy company but they sell here in the US. You take turns putting either animals or suitcases on a boat without knocking any pieces out of it. All pieces are wooden and the boat is a cardboard box a little bigger than a big matchbox.
And you already own some of my favorites like Catan and Illuminati.
