Is it an expression? Someone has surely said it. Life is a mixed bag - or so the expression goes. Well, guess what folks: thanks to Tasty Minstrel Games, we can all enjoy the thrills of a Ponzi scheme without any of that inconvenient “illegality” stuff.Įnter Ponzi Scheme, a fascinating economic game by designer Jesse Li that simulates the delightful stress of SOUL-CRUSHING DEBT.Ĭontinue reading “ADVENTURES IN GAME TIME: Ponzi Scheme” Posted by Ben Mandelker JJPosted in Games Tags: board games, games, reviews 2 Comments on ADVENTURES IN GAME TIME: Ponzi Scheme ADVENTURES IN GAME TIME: Orléans Invasion Edition It can be great entertainment, but is it something any of us would want to live through? Probably not. We all love the tried and true tropes of a long con gone awry: authorities closing in, criminals turning on each other, people committing acts of desperation. Yes, it’s a pure joy to witness - at least as long as our money isn’t tied up in the mess (sorry, Kevin Bacon). After all, there’s something exhilarating about watching a con take off soaringly, only to come crashing into the ground under the weight of its own hubris. And for good reason: we love when our white collar criminals trip up. With the colossal implosion of Fyre Fest and the premiere of HBO’s new Bernie Madoff biopic, fraudulent behavior seems very top of mind. And before we let Dorit take the name and build an empire with it, I felt it was time to honor the real Beverly Beach for all the hard work and dedication she has poured into that job she has had for about 17 years.Ĭontinue reading “The Truth About Beverly Beach” Posted by Ben Mandelker MaJPosted in Amusing Photos, Featured, Real Housewives, Television Tags: "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” RHOBH, beverly beach, dorit, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, RHOBH 13 Comments on The Truth About Beverly Beach Freighters Gonna Freight - A Review of Rhein: River Trade Unfortunately for Dorit, Beverly Beach is also the name of the lady who worked at our middle school in the administration department.ĭon’t act confused.

In an ideal world, I’d get to play board games every day of the week (because I’m a lunatic), but we all know that will never happen.
