Our goal this year is to get all of our owned games up to having at least five plays. As we play these games we will be deciding if we are keeping them so that we can continue playing them.These are all games that we have previously reviewed using our custom rating scale. So we will share what we thought about the game initially, and what we think about it now.
Don't Turn Your Back

Her Thoughts Now: This game is decent but not one I need to own.
My Thoughts Now: I did not care much for the theme/art work.
Picture Perfect

Her Thoughts Now: I love the puzzle and think this has the perfect amount of brain burn/challenge.
My Thoughts Now: I think this is a clever theme, but I would love an expansion for just a touch more variety.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Blockade von Ryloth
Brief Description: Destroy ships to break the Separatist blockade of Ryloth in a light dexterity game.
Reviewed on: May 13th, 2020
Score Given Then: 64/100
Her Thoughts Now: This is not a game that I need to have, but I don't hate it.
My Thoughts Now: I adore that a game was made based off a single episode of the Clone Wars series. It is also an obscure Star Wars game which means I do not want to get rid of it.
Risk: The Walking Dead – Survival Edition
Brief Description: Secure territory for your survivors in a world overrun by the walking dead.
Reviewed on: November 5th, 2017
Score Given Then: 68/100
Her Thoughts Now: I just do not like these kind of guys on a map game where people can constantly take my stuff. I am not going to play this.
My Thoughts Now: I think this actually works well as two player Risk game since most of the combat is against the game.
Risk: Balance of Power
Brief Description: Two players battle over Europe to complete strategic objectives.
Reviewed on: January 21st, 2019
Score Given Then: 72/100
Her Thoughts Now: Wait, why do we have two versions of Risk? We don't even need one.
My Thoughts Now: I appreciate the attempt at a two player version of this game, but if we were going to keep a version of Risk to play at two I prefer the Waking Dead one.
