Every game imaginable...and then some. July 16, 2007
James Tibbs (Spokane, WA)
Before I bought this book, I was looking all over the internet for a couple of new paintball games to play (to change things up a bit on the field). I searched through chat sites, forums, and practically every website I could find containing what I found to be was basically the same 20 games, tops....until I found this book! I checked out the book's preview on their web site paintballersalmanac.com and learned that these guys really did their homework! I WAS BLOWN AWAY WHEN I SAW THE INDEX OF GAMES! My list of 20 games that I spent weeks accumulating turned out to be a big waste of time compared to the 200 games in this book- I should have just bought this book from the beginning.
PROS:
Every game imaginable has been included, and then there's another 150 on top of that! I'm not exaggerating. I found that practically every game was a unique and challenging scenario. I didn't spot any "cheap knock-off variations" to "fluff up the book" - like, "Give the Captain a gun and call it a new game". Every game was legitimate. There were tons of games that I thought were purely brilliant, ranging from extremely simple to very challenging. What I really liked was the practical yet creative use of props, ranging from using a combination lock to using "cup-and-string-posts" for color changing beacons (Domination p.37) Games are organized alphabetically, one page at a time for easy reference, and the index in the back allows you to find games by alternative names. The classic games were in there too, so you can have all the "official rules" for the new guys in your group.
CONS:
There's a game or two that takes a bit more setup than your typical newbie might want to do - but almost every game can be set up in less than 5 minutes and the games that do require props are minimal, like "A plastic pipe" or "a foam ball". I just wish I had this book 10 years ago when I first started playing paintball (There's enough games in this book that I would still be playing new ones to this day!)
SUMMARY:
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR NEW GAMES -GET THIS BOOK!
