The thing that separates great DJs from the pack is their ability to play the music that people want to hear, when they want to hear it. Those DJs can keep a party rocking all night long, while most others will struggle to keep a crowd engaged for an extended period of time. I never chased my DJ dreams with any real vigor, though they ultimately died on the vine when I realized that making a living as one would basically mean that I would have to put the musical tastes of others before my own. Sorry, but your music sucks and I’d rather play Taylor Swift and Wu-Tang all the time. 😛

Much like a DJ, it’s become very important for me to gauge the group and pick out the right titles that will work for that group.
Unbeknownst to me, camel racing is actually a thing. Ignorant me thought that it was simply a goofy theme to justify the mechanisms that drive Camel Up. The more you know, I guess! In any case, Camel Up takes you to the race track, where five camels are racing each other around a pyramid. You’re not in control of the camels per se, but you are making bets on the race in hopes of making the most money by the time the first camel crosses the finish line. Is this a camel racing board game worth backing?
Marvel and Upper Deck’s latest take on the Legendary deck-building game turns the tables on the classic good versus evil conflict. In Legendary: Villains, 1-5 players play as the bad guys as they try to stop the heroes from completing their missions. While this is a standalone game, it is fully compatible with the original Legendary and all of its expansions. Is the role reversal, new cards and a few new mechanics enough to justify the existence of this game?
