Those Pesky Humans - How to play

Those Pesky Humans Board Game from Board To Death TV on Vimeo.

We are buying used board games!

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

Game Universe (Greenfield & Brookfield) is now starting to buy/trade for used games… They need to have all their parts (a missing standard die isn’t an issue) and they need to be out of print (can’t buy them new in the store). Stop on in with your games and we’ll give you a price (more for store credit).

Boardgame Night - Brookfield

Sunday, December 20th, 2009


We would like to attempt to host a Board Game night at our new store in Brookfield where we can play any game that is in our library or one you bring. The idea being that it’s much easier to learn a game from others then to read the rules. So, since we have some 50+ current games open at that store, why not make use of them. It would be a weekly event and a small group 4-6 players most likely (since it’s weekly the people who show will most likely be different each week). I will promote this to the new customers at our store as a way to learn and try out games before they buy.

The only question is, which day? Here are my suggestions and I welcome input before I finalize it.

Monday 6pm
Wednesday 6pm
Sunday 1pm

Post here or email me at webmaster at game-universe.com or signup for our newsletter off our website.

Factory Manager

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

After Power Grid taught you the tough competition between energy producers, now you get to know the road traveled by energy consumers.

Start to be a Factory Manager and make the important decisions to improve your own factory. Fight against the other competitors for the best factory equipment available in the market to be the best player at the end of the game.

Power Grid - Factory Manager is a Business-Buildup-Game. You start with a small factory and try to improve it. At the beginning you may simply focus on increasing the production. Later you are confronted with new challenges: track the ever increasing energy price and cleverly distribute your workers for the best benefit.

By being close to the theme, the game is logical and coherent in its main features. A clever new mechanism improves the game by affecting the player order and the actions on the market.

But don’t say we did not warn you: Because of only 5 turns the game is exciting right from the start. Be careful all the time or your fellow players will mercilessly leave you behind!

Power Grid: Brazil/Iberia

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

We now add Brazil and Iberia to the list of maps available for this great game. Unlike previous map sets, this one comes in a box, so you can use it to store other maps.
