When I first heard someone use the word tripe to describe something they were saying, I really had no clue what it meant. I infered something like a rant. There are 2 common meanings for tripe. Choose either for this post. Both are probably equally fitting:
1. The rubbery lining of the stomach of cattle or other ruminants, used as food.
2. Informal Something of no value; rubbish.
I read a lot of tabletop game reviews. I watch a lot of video reviews and gameplay. And FYI, video reviews and gameplay are rarely the same thing. For the most part everything I read or watch has the same formula. Generally, I don’t see a huge difference from one review to the other with the exception of the end score or rating.
I started this blog because I wanted to write my own reviews. I’m not concerned with reviewing every possible game available. I just want to review games that I own and/or have played. But something has kept me from proceeding. What do I have to offer that isn’t already being said? And who is even going to see my reviews besides the handful of people I send a link to. Do the interwebs really need yet another random person reviewing tabletop games?
