At Geeky Hobbies, our goal is to review and curate everything fun that is out there. Whether it is a board or card game, TV show, movie, puzzle, video game, or a new hobby or interest; we are interested in reviewing and curating anything we can get our hands on. From small indie releases to blockbuster media, we try to cover it all as best as we can. If you would like us to cover your product or piece of entertainment, feel free to drop us an e-mail. Since we are interested in almost all genres, types of media, hobbies, and interests we will most likely be willing to cover your product but we still prefer you e-mail us to make sure it is a good fit for the blog. You can e-mail us at mort(at)geekyhobbies.com (make sure to change the (at) to an @ symbol). Also feel free to e-mail us any news, press releases, questions, comments, or anything else at the same address.
For reviews and previews, we will be as fair as possible but of course we cannot guarantee a positive review. We can, however, guarantee that the review or preview will be fair. In every review and preview we do, we make sure to talk about everything we like about the product as well as the things we didn’t like or think could be improved. We will always bring up the positives but if we don’t like the product we will have to be honest with our readers.
Special notes:
- For board, card, role-playing, outdoor, and other types of games: We accept almost all games regardless of whether they are print and play, prototypes, or final versions of the game. However, we prefer that you e-mail us when the game’s rules are mostly finalized and you have a semi-concrete release date (a Kickstarter date or a date when the game will be available for purchase). Basically, as long as the game is near completion (not in the testing stages) feel free to e-mail us whenever you like. Games that are complete (or near completion) will be reviewed while print and play, prototypes, and games that aren’t quite complete will be previewed (since it isn’t fair to give a final numerical grade to an unfinished product).
- For video games: We love all types of games from small indie games to big releases. Feel free to send codes for games you would like us to cover to mort(at)geekyhobbies.com. Just know that since there are hundreds of games released each week, we can’t get to all of them and thus can’t guarantee coverage (or when we might cover your game). However, if we like your game we will make sure to cover it in some way. We can cover games on the following platforms: PC, PS4, Wii U, PS3, Xbox 360, 3DS, Android, and most older platforms.
- For movies, documentaries, TV shows, anime, and other media: We accept DVDs, Blu-rays, 4K Ultra HD, screener copies (both physical and online screeners), as well as links to freely and legally available media (free documentaries and other media on YouTube, Vimeo, etc.).
- For puzzles, hobby stuff, collectibles, other types of entertainment, and anything else you think we might be interested in: Drop us an e-mail to see if your product is a good fit for the blog. We are always willing to try new things and will probably be interested in trying out your product.

Skyjo card game 1. Discard pile and grid clarification: If I pick up a discard card and decide to replace a face down card, as soon as that face down card has been revealed, I HAVE to replace it with the discard card, correct? I can’t choose to throw back the discard card if it gives me more points than the unrevealed card: is that correct?
2. Special Rule clarification: if I have 3 exact matches, in what order do I discard? I think I am reading that I play my last card, and discard. Then, I discard my special rule column ON TOP of the card I just discarded in the discard pile? And that means the person to my left has the choice to pickup one of the cards from my Special Rule discard?

For your first question, once you take the top card from the discard pile you have to keep it. In your example you would have to replace the card you flipped over with the card you took from the discard pile. This could lead you to replacing the formerly face down card with a card that is worth more points. You cannot choose to discard the card you took from the discard pile.
For your second question you will first discard the card from your current turn. This could either be a card you took from the draw pile that you didn't want, or the card from your grid that you swapped out. Then you will discard the three cards from the column where all of the cards matched. The top card on the discard pile should be one of the three matching cards that you discarded. The next player could then choose to take this card from the discard pile on their turn.
I hope this helped. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

In the game of Guess Who the best first move is asking if the direction of the head is left or right.

In some versions of Guess Who? this is a great question because the distribution of characters looking left and right is basically even. In these versions of the game I would highly recommend using this question.
Unfortunately some versions of the game have all of the characters looking straight ahead. In these versions of the game this question unfortunately won't help you.

I come here for movie releases, but wanted to know why the term "puglicious" is used on front page? I have had pugs my entire long life (52 years). Or is it unrelated and based on the board game?

The reason Puglicious was on the front page is because I recently created a post about how to play the Puglicious board games.
