Fillers

I like a long deep game dripping with theme, but sometimes you just need to get a short game out, something that you can either play multiple games of in a go, relax between more taxing games of the night or just killing 10 minutes while waiting for people to turn up/get food sorted/pack up the last game.  So I'm going to take about a few of my favorite short games.  

I find that fillers see a lot more table time that larger games, most work with higher player counts so work if we have a large group together and we could just spend the night playing a selection of fillers.  They also tend to be quite light so work with non-gamers.

Munchkin

I'm going to be looking at Munchkin today.  This was one of the first table top games I played when I got into the hobby.  It's still a game I enjoy but I play it less and less these day.  In the game you are a group of adventures moving through a dungeon D&D style (minus the roleplay unless you really want to).  So whether you are a Wizard Dwarf or a Elf Cleric it's time get kill as many monsters as you can and get out with more treasure than your friends.

New and Upcoming games for Oct 2015

I thought I'd talk about a few games that have been recently released or are due for soon that I'm looking forward to or have caught my attention.  Some are re-prints of older games and some are new.  I haven't played any of these and have different amounts of information on each one.

I hope to get a chance to play all of these and a few I do plan on picking up very soon.  This list isn't in any particular order.  I might not go into much detail on some of the games, since they are not always light and I haven't seen the rules for any of them and I'd rather be vague than wrong.  This isn't the definitive list, there are plenty of new and upcoming games but these are a few I'm really excited about.
