You Got The Gear?

Soufeast Ratchetcakes is the brand, and it’s brilliant.  The quality, the graphics, the practicality, all on target and straight from D.C.  The Ganja Gaming Guild is offering two items from the “Ratchetcakes” collection.  The lunch box and rolling tray both sport the “Ratchetcakes” logo and will impress any cannabis enthusiast. Both items are made of a durable metal and will last the owner through many years of partying. 

This is not the first partnership between Blunt Factz, DC's first Cannagame Show, and the Ganja Gaming Guild.  On April 20th, 2019 at the RFK Festival Grounds, Blunt Factz and The Ganja Gaming Guild came together to entertain and exchange the attendees of the great National Cannabis Festival. It was a huge hit.  Together they sponsored and ran an underground game night featuring Roll-a-Bong board game.  WE are still waiting for the release of that hilarious footage.

Do you need partying gear? A great game to play with your ganja mates?  We have it all at www.rollabong.com.  Please stop by and see if we can find you that special item to add to your next session.  Here are a few of the items available through the Ganja Gaming Guild…

How We Rate Games?

There is list after list after list of games and their rankings.  “This game is 5 stars!” “This is a good strategy game.” Always the list supports a specific view of games.  My friend, Mr. Lester, has tasked me to create a system where any game can be scored.  The scores would, in essence, create a ranking system, but based on what I believe are the important qualities of a good board, card, or, really any game.  I also endeavor to keep the system simple as complexity creates its own difficulties and then stops being an effective ranking tool. 

Categories to be scored are: Game Playability, Game Design, Box Design, Instructions and Learnability, GGG membership.

Game of the Day - Stoner's Jenga

Take a hit, pull a block, and wait for your next turn.  I could have never imagined that one of my favorite games, Jenga, could be more fun.  It’s true, the Stoner’s Edition of Jenga, makes the art of pulling out the most precarious block seem epic!  Each round, the tension increases as the tower becomes less stable. Each hit followed by the nerve-wracking trick of pulling out a wooden block with one hand, makes every turn exciting and nail biting. 

At my last “Game Night” the Stoner’s Jenga game got serious.  The stack got taller than one of the players, it was massive.  The tower teetered and tottered, but each turn, the other two players seemed to defy gravity and physics to pull out a block.  My boasting about my Jenga skills came crashing down on my toes on my turn.  My wife laughed her self silly! The other players congratulated me on my skills!  Lucky for me, I was too stoned to care!  It was a really fun game and I can’t wait to play again.
