"The dog ate my board game!"

Played a new game a friend brought over tonight - Hollywood Blockbuster by Reiner Knizia. Have to say I was quite disappointed. I found the auction mechanic way too tedious to hold a game of that length. I also found the rules had way too many "ifs" and "buts" and I found it to be overcomplicated for a game that simple and dull. Oh well, still a huge Knizia fan. I'll have to go play a game of Blue Moon City to make myself feel better.

Sadly, the game was new and a piece fell on the floor. Our puppy promptly chewed it to bits. Guess the dog didn't like it either...
