Hey guys,

We are ‘The Misery Farm’- 3 Ladies, an assortment of generic gaming buddies, and a*uva lot of games. Here you’ll find humourous, sarcastic, or just plain drunk reviews of board games and board game-related stuff.

We’ve just reviewed Libertalia here – http://themiseryfarm.com/2015/05/24/libertalia-how-to-pirate-101/

We thought the game was fun, fast paced, and yet we still made amusing mistakes throughout. We recommend playing with a large group of friends at least once. We’d love any comments or feedback.

Thanks,
The Misery Farm

Here is our brand new review of Quantum http://themiseryfarm.com/2015/03/08/quantum/

Ultimately we live in hope of less dice. Please give us a read, we hope you like us but if you don’t then that’s fine too.

I’ve written a first-person review of Tokaido, which you cant find through this link – https://geographyoftheweb.wordpress.com/2014/12/14/tokaido-a-lovely-game-of-loveliness/

In the post I comment on what’s happening throughout the game, and draw some conclusions at the end. Any views are much appreciated!

Exert:
“Tonight is time to try a new board game which is described as more or less the exact opposite of Agricola (misery farm). This is solely down to my friend Kim, who realised we should probably play something lovely, pretty and relaxing in between saga’s of blood-boiling games. Enter the exceptionally attractive Tokaido.

Tokaido is a Japanese themed board game in which each player embarks on the legendary ‘East Sea Road’ journey where one walks from Edo to Kyoto. Don’t worry, nowadays we can just sit down and let our meeples rein-act the inspiring journey on our behalf.

– We’re off! The race has started!… But we’re all jostling for last place, much in the same vain as Monty Python’s Upper Class Twit of the year. It’s feeling a little odd to me as I’m used to manically clawing at resources and victory points, but Pat the tardy is right at home. Pete and Kim are pretty chilled out too. I’ve decided.. to chill.. breathe..”

I play board games pretty frequently, but I’ve so far managed to avoid Agricola. I haven’t actively avoided it, but at the same time I haven’t actively sought it out either as I’ve heard many contrasting reviews.But if there’s one thing I know, it’s that board gamers have strong opinions.

So I decided to write a commentary and real-time review of the game as I played it for the very first time. You can find this here http://geographyoftheweb.wordpress.com/2014/10/20/agricola/
