This is a video from Rhett and Link (whose honest mobile home commercial is a classic that I watch bi-weekly) explaining the rules of 'Risky Settlers, Knights and Allies of the Lords of Dominion of Earth, Pandemic Edition'. It's a jocular take on the difficulty of learning the... / Continue →

This is the custom Fallout board game that Redditor XsimonbelmontX (of Castlevania fame?!) spent eight months making for his wife's birthday. Despite the board's resemblance to Monopoly, he says the only similarity in gameplay is the ability to buy property. Everything else i... / Continue →

The board (bored?) gamers' votes have been tallied and the new monopoly token will be...THE KITTY. "The picture kind of gave it away." You're like a modern day Sherlock Holmes. The piece voted to be removed was the iron, which I think we can all agree is the crappiest piece ... / Continue →

Nobody's gonna stop playing WoW to play WoW Monopoly, I'm just saying. I posted the announcement of a World of Warcraft edition Monopoly game back in February, but you know what? I forgot about that until my intern just reminded me so I had to add these sentences up here so I... / Continue →

This is a three-person chess set. It's not the first 3-person chess set I've posted on Geekologie, but it is the first one that doesn't look like it was made by a novice carpenter. Who knows, maybe you've owned a three-person chess set forever. How do you even play? Is it a... / Continue →

This is a 3-D printable chess set from designer Joseph Larson. The pieces of each side can be snapped together to form a giant mecha. I'm not sure what the rules are for his movement, but my guess is he goes wherever the f*** he wants and leaves a trail of broken peons in his... / Continue →
