I haven't yet met a girl gamer who can resist a pretty game. Gems, stuffed animals, colorful pictures, adorable and hilarious actions -- all of these demand attention from the fairer half of the population.
Tonight's game is called Gems of Virtue, a board game brought to you by P&G Games. If you've ever played Ticket to Ride, this game is pretty much exactly like it, with some extra rules to speed up gameplay. For those that haven't played it? Allow me to explain.
Every player selects a game piece color and is dealt a hand of five cards. The cards are all different colors relating to paths on the board. The paths go everywhere and nowhere, and the goal is to complete a line from one part of the board to another using the paths as bridges. In this case, they lead from one virtue to another. One player might need a line from Integrity to Mercy, another from Knowledge to Wisdom, and a third beginning at Devotion and ending at Respect. Each completed bridge and line earns points towards winning the game.
Gems of Virtue was given points on the Adorable Scale for using plastic gems as player pieces instead of normal counters. For plastic pieces, they come in very pretty colors such as purple, green, red, orange, yellow, and blue. The board itself is laid out in a circular pattern and is very colorful and pleasing to the eye.
All in all? It's a very pretty game. And I like that. I play pretty games. And I'm not the only girl gamer who does.
