5 = Buy this! Buy this now!
4 = A good solid game!
3 = Decent with some bugs.
2 = Has great potential as kindling!
1 = Give me back the time I spent playing it!
Hot Topic: Two Player Games
Cathy & Sarah are joined by Jesse Metcalf to talk about their favorite two player games. These can be games that are designed to play ONLY two players OR games that are designed to play more than two players, but also play very nicely at the two player level.
