7 / 10	Longspeak	Brilliant!
6 / 10	g026r	[Land of Og, aka Og 2nd Ed.] It's never going to be something you'll play a lot of, but get a group of people in the right mindset together and it's a blast to try to get something done via grunting, hand waving, and a limited vocabulary. Positives: fun, does what it sets out to do. Negatives: lack of long-term support or even replayability for that matter.
6 / 10	Sleeper	[1st Edition] Does exactly what it sets out to do. The limited vocabulary is fun for a night or two of light entertainment (even if you can't say "Og smash!"), and while the system itself is antiquated, it's simple enough that it doesn't matter.
4 / 10	SJBenoist	Amusing concept and book. Only really good for a game or two, ever.

4 + 5	Papyrus	Land of Og. I have spent $10 on less enjoyable items to read and to play. It's easy to learn, quick to play and a great diversion for on shot or campaign play to loosen up a gaming group. [ Read Review ]
3 + 3	Tomas J Skucas	Og. [ Read Review ]
5 + 5	C.W.Richeson	Og: Unearthed Edition. Shiny. Shiny. Thing. [ Read Review ]
4 + 4	merb101	Og: Unearthed Edition. A lite game of caveman comedy where language is just one of the many hurdles facing your prehistoric heroes. [ Read Review ]
3 + 4	Crothian	Og: Unearthed Edition. Og is the game of cavemen and overcoming your own stupidity. [ Read Review ]
5 + 4	Jason Rivest	Og: Unearthed Edition. A hilarious game about cavemen with a limited vocabulary, perfect for introducing new players to the hobby or for experienced gamers looking for a distraction from heavier games, or looking for a pick-up game ready to play in minutes! [ Read Review ]
