More games you should consider buying

I've played the Penny Arcade card game, Gamers vs. Evil, about 10 times now since I picked it up at PAX at the end of August. For those of you not familiar, it is one of many games that pull the deck-building mechanic best known from Dominion (another game worth owning), and putting their own twist on it.

In The Penny Arcade Game: Gamers vs. Evil, players will take from a shared group of cards representing icons from the Penny Arcade world, each character possessing a unique power. Purchase Gamer cards with your gold. Yes, put that Merch in your deck! CONSUME! If you'd prefer to battle, wield the Cardboard Tube and attack one of the Evil cards. Dodge PAX Pox, make friends with a Werewolf With a Top Hat, ally with Cardboard Tube Samurai, PvP with your opponents, and skewer Dark Tycho for his epic loot. Build your perfect deck and win the battle of Gamers vs. Evil.

...yeah, that's probably not going to make a lot of sense if you're not familiar with the webcomic. Trust me though, it's good times.

The other game is called Bausack, which is a hilarious competitive tower building game:

Players take turns choosing blocks and giving them to each other to place on their structure. A player may pay a certain number of 'beans' to refuse a block and it gets passed to the next player. When a player's structure falls, they are out of the game. Last player standing wins.

I never won a game as I ended up taking a lot of the more difficult blocks, but I did get lots of compliments on my complex and seemingly gravity-defying towers. :D
