When I heard about the board game Castles of Mad King Ludwig — where you get to build crazy castles — I was very anxious to give it a try.

While I didn’t do very well on my first play, I was totally hooked. I left wanting to play again and again.

Well, it’s finally time to post our full review of Castles of Mad King Ludwig. Enjoy!

“I bet I can guess what you’re thinking about before you can guess what I’m thinking about.”

While we don’t actually say that at the start of a game of Telepathy Magic Minds, we probably could. Because that’s really what the challenge in this board game is all about — being the first to guess the opponent’s secret square.

If you saw our Brain Freeze game review earlier this week, you’ll already be familiar with what you’re in for with Magic Minds.

Both games are great 2-player deduction games for the whole family.

The main difference between the games is the level of difficulty.

Check out Brooke’s short video review to see how Magic Minds steps up the mental challenge.

The Last Spike is a pretty straight forward and easy to learn game.

In the game, players cooperate to build a continuous railway from St. Louis to Sacramento.

Yet this isn’t a cooperative board game where everyone works together to beat the game. Instead players are competing against each other to earn the most money by the end of the game.
