Deal or Duel: An Alexander Hamilton Card Game Review

So I know I JUST did a review on a comic book based off of Alexander Hamilton last time post, but hear me out. Hamilton as a card game! Ok, so I know you might be thinking I might have a slight obsession with one founding father, but it's not my fault! Blame Lin Manuel Miranda for this! Without the musical I wouldn't have know how boss Hamilton was. That kind of says something about our school system, doesn't it?

This game right here is so cool! It's like Monopoly but for founding fathers! The cards are designed really well and the premise of the game is really fun! So basically what you have to do is try to break the bank before the other players-- or die trying. This game not only puts your financial skills to work, but also your dueling skills.

There is this really cool tip guide on the back of the rule book. It's giving you tips on how to play and win like a Democratic-Republican or Federalist.  Which I think is super neat cause you learn about it in history and government, but this way you can kind of experience it first hand.

Out of all these positives there is only one negative: the board in which you play on is made out of paper. I wish it was something stronger, but other than that this is a A+ game, and teachers should let kids play it in class.

I give this gave 4.5 ten dollar founding fathers without fathers out of 5!

Alexander Hamilton Graphic Novel by Jonathon Hennessey and Art by Justin Greenwood Review

As someone who's favorite class in high school was history, other than art, I had to get this book! A graphic novel that is also a history lesson, who in their right mind would pass this up? Also it doesn't hurt that I am a huge fan of Hamilton by the wonderfully talented Lin-Manuel Miranda. Growing up with comics of all kind was amazing and having a historical figure in one is super cool.

Hennessey wrote in a way that was easy to read and it flowed really well. Along side such writing should be amazing art, and that is what Greenwood brought to the table! The art is out of this world! As an artist myself, this is the kind of standard I want to live up to!

All in all, this was a wonderful graphic novel. I give it 5 One Last Rides out of 5

The Story Cure by Dinty W. Moore

So we all have something to say or write, well, most of us do anyway. Me specifically, I want to write a novel one day. I have no idea where to start, or how to plan, let alone plot a hero's journey that the readers will be wanting to spend time reading. And when I found The Story Cure I had to jump at the chance!

This book is a God send. The book is set up into two parts: Cures and Checkups. It explains things so clearly that even I could understand it, which is quite the feat. Along with the explains on what things are Moore writes how to "cure" it in a sense. Moore also gives you exercises to practice what was just learned.


I give The Story Cure 5 out of 5 unwritten novels
