Every so often, you will see a post from me that will combine two of my hobbies - usually one obscure hobby of mine combined with board games. Whether it be the combination of painting, sewing, peering into nature - I love the breadth of board games that are released nowadays. And that designers are combining some of the coolest of hobbies, with the concepts of board gaming.  Now, confession. I am a full-time plant mom. I spend hours within my day making sure that all my herbs and plants are getting lots of sunlight and are happy, healthy and well-fed. So when I found out that Verdant by Flatout Games would be heading to Kickstarter this year, I was filled with delight. 

Fantasy Realms from WizKidz is one of the reasons why I love card games. Why? Because they are quick, they are fun, and if they are strong enough - they do not take too long to pick up the rules.

I don't know about you, but I learn a ton from board games. Being a bit obsessed with animals, nature and the world we reside in. Photosynthesis taught me more about biology than I ever did at school, and I can thank BioViva for teaching me a world of knowledge about our world when I was growing up. But there is a new board game on Kickstarter right now, entitled Earth Rising. Giving 1-6 players a chance to mould our modern-day society into a sustainable world within the next 20 years.

Yes, Monopoly is getting an adventurous reskin with changes to appeal to the everyday roleplayer.

Where players take to the opportunities of both the shallows and the depths of the sea in Keyper at Sea.
