What is Pair Of Dice Paradise?
I've had a passion for playing and creating board games for as long as I can remember. I created my first game in second grade. It was a simple dinosaur themed roll-and-move game. It had a track of about 30 spaces, and used tiny plastic dinosaur toys I had as the player pieces. It was simple, but my fellow second graders loved it. That was all it took; I was hooked on playing and tinkering with board games from that moment on.
But recently, I'd found my work life slowly encroaching more and more info my home life. After coming home from work, I'd inevitably end up working on more work. I desperately needed a vacation from my vocation. To remedy this, I decided to launch pairofdiceparadise.com, a blog with reviews, news and commentary about board games. I hope you enjoy it!

How do you rank games in your reviews? 2. Replay Value 3. Components 4. Price / Value 5. Fun Factor Each of these five criteria are ranked on a scale of 1-10. The higher the score, the better. A definition of the rating scale is available to the right. These scores are unscientific and completely subjective. If any ratings seem inconsistent from one game to the next, then I was likely distracted during my review by something entertaining that the cat did. |

Nope. I believe that being paid to review a product is a conflict of interest. The reviewer cannot form an objective opinion of a game if there's a monetary incentive on the table.
Where do you get the games that you review?
Most of the games that I review are straight from my personal collection. Others are borrowed from friends or provided by people who insist on being awesome by donating them.
If you've developed or published a game that you'd like to have me possibly review on my website, get in contact with me and let me know. I don't accept payment for reviews, believe that being paid to review a product is a conflict of interest. The reviewer cannot form an objective opinion of a game if there's a monetary incentive on the table. So, while I cannot guarantee that I'll be able to review every game that comes my way, I can guarantee that the review will be unbiased and (hopefully) informative and entertaining.
Do you do paid previews for upcoming games or kickstarters?
That's certainly an option. I know first-hand that when you're working on a startup, you need all of the publicity that you can get. If you're a game designer and you think that Pair of Dice Paradise would be beneficial in assisting in your PR efforts, well, then I'd be honored to help out how I can. If you have a project that you'd like to have previewed, contact me to discuss it.
