Steven Spielberg’s Boom Blox Released

Steven Spielberg and Electronic Arts have worked together to create three new franchise properties. The first of them – Boom Blox – was released last week as a casual game that takes players through 400 levels of what has been called ‘strategic destruction’.

Deal Or No Deal Board Game

Deal or No Deal is purely a game of luck. All you have to do is pick a suitcase and hope that it has the number you want. You could end up leaving the show with $5 or even $500. Why someone would actually make this into a board game is beyond me because there is really nothing to it.

Backgammon

Backgammon is a classic game like chess or checkers – but surprisingly few people know how to play it. Each player has 15 pieces that have to be moved from the place that they start off all around the board to the home base and then off the board completely. Each round the player will throw the dice and will than determine which piece they will move. Players do have the ability to capture each other’s pieces –which will make those pieces start off from the beginning.
