It's becoming a personal passion - sniffing game systems, unearthing their roots. Digging beneath game mechanics.

Writing reviews helps me do those things. Though these are more reflections than reviews. They won't tell you how to play the games, but they might give you a feel for them.

I guess that's what any boardvaark would give - more than an overview, an underview. Quirky, personal, and far from technical.

I hope you enjoy this boardvaark's perspective. And even if you don't, please tell me anyway - your feedback is invaluable (email below).
