I love music. I would rather listen to music than watch TV. I’ve always enjoyed hearing the music of unsigned artists. MP3.com use to be a great source to hear some great music from unsigned artists. Sadly it seems the small musicians are hard to find there anymore. I have enjoyed the bonus tracks of Guitar Hero that feature some local Boston talent. It just reminds me how much I miss listening to independent artists.

Luckily I have found Unsigned.com. Unsigned has many music categories from dance bands to hard rock to jazz musicians. I even found a great local band named Mergens that is performing this month in town. This may be a great time to get a babysitter and go enjoy some local musicians.

A lot of the artists have some songs you can listen to through Unsigned. Some of the my favorite songs are by artist who don’t have a recording contract. It’s nice to find another outlet to explore and discover more great music.

Roll up some fun and be the first to get rid of your hand to win the game of Combo King. This card game combines poker with Yahtzee.

Cards will have a combo that the player must roll. Detailed on the card will be how many rolls he gets to accomplish it. Also listed on the card is if he can keep any dice rolls and how many dice he can roll. Some cards are just for one player while other cards are challenges for all players.

If a person is successful in their combo roll, then he earns the number of poker chips indicated on the card. He discards that card and is that much closer to winning the game. A player wins when they have no more cards to play.

Poker chips can be used to buy another dice roll, make a player draw a card and many other game altering actions. Combo King can be played in about 20 minutes. Rules are included to make the game longer. Players can also incorporate their own house rules like making the hand size bigger or any other actions to make the game as fun as possible for their group.

Combo King is very entertaining and fun. It takes about 5 minutes to learn to play and teach to others. If someone likes Yahtzee, the Combo King is definitely an enjoyable game.
