Geek Fuel EXP Vol #2 August 2018

Geek Fuel Quarterly Plan - $57.00/qtr. + $8 S&H 2 Quarter Plan - $55.00/qtr. + $8 S&H Annual Plan - $53.00/qtr. + $8 S&H Multi-Month plans are charged all at one time. So just be aware of that.  As you know, I've been missing a geek box in my life, but I was not missing all the random junk that came along with it. One by one, I said goodbye. Loot Crate, Comic-Con Box (which is now out of business) and finally Geek Fuel. I decided to re-add Geek Fuel after they added a quarterly subscription. As my sole geek provider, I'm really expecting a lot from them and I'm a little disappointed with this box. That's probably why its taken me so long to write about it. I got this box back in August, but I just wasn't ready to write about it. It is not that there is anything wrong with the box, I just don't love the contents.  Let's take a closer look at what we got. T-Shirt: Ant-Man T-Shirt "Pym-Pin Ain...

Geek Fuel EXP Vol #1 - the start of a beautiful relationship

Geek Fuel EXP Vol. #1 Geek Fuel Quarterly Plan - $57.00/qtr. + $8 S&H 2 Quarter Plan - $55.00/qtr. + $8 S&H Annual Plan - $53.00/qtr. + $8 S&H Multi-Month plans are charged all at one time. So just be aware of that. ​ I've been missing a geek box in my life, but I was not missing all the random junk that came along with it. One by one, I said goodbye. Loot Crate, Comic-Con Box (which is now out of business) and finally Geek Fuel.  I survived on a diet of beauty subscriptions, but still longed for a little geek in my life. Like they knew what I needed, Geek Fuel went and seduced me with a new EXP quarterly box.  It was guaranteed to be bigger, better and have a value of over $100. I was smitten. I jumped on the chance to have a geek box back in my life. I worried that I was just going to be let down when I saw the franchise spoilers. However, I am happy to report, that I am not disappointed. I love almost everyt...

My Top Nine Board Games

My Top Nine Board Games Recently, I saw a post on Instagram #mytop9boardgames. It was a hard decision, but i finally figured out what my top games were. Read on to find out what made the list.  In no particular order: Tzolk'in, Terra Mystica, Caverna, Scythe, Takenoko, Lords of Waterdeep, Ascension, Mystic Vale and Goa. Tzolkin: The Mayan Calendar Czech Games Edition This is a worker placement game that is very high on my favorite list. If I had to choose, this might be my current favorite game. The board is incredible. There are massive gears that you put together like a puzzle to construct the complete board. Gamers that have the patience to paint their boards astound me. The intricacies on that board are insane. On your turn you can either place a worker, or take one off. There are temple tracks, technology tracks, monuments and buildings that you are vying and racing toward. Each different component adds an infinite replay-ability to the game. The game only lasts...

It's time for the September Geek Fuel.  I have to say, I saw the spoilers before the box arrived and I was not looking forward to it.   Geek Fuel Monthly Plan - $18.90/mo. + $6 S&H 3 Month Plan - $17.90/mo. + $6 S&H 6 Month Plan - $16.90/mo. + $6 S&H 1 Year Plan - $14.90/mo. +$6 S&H Multi-Month plans are charged all at one time. So just be aware of that.  Information Card Each month Geek Fuel has an information card detailing the items in the box.  Sometimes that is great, sometimes makes you real jealous of the item you didn't receive.  Meat Wad!!!!! Geek Fuel Magazine This month's magazine had a great section on items every Geek needs to own.  I need like 5 of the items listed.  It also has a great section on the new Blade Runner coming in October and on my literary obsession, Stephen King.  The back of the book also included a g...
