App Review – Fort Sumter

When news hit a month or so ago that the wonderful 2-player game Fort Sumter was coming to digital via Playdek, I was…well, let’s just say excited and leave it at that (I don’t want to be embarrassed). Now that day has finally arrived,… Continue Reading “App Review – Fort Sumter”

News to Catch Up On

Sorry for the lack of posting last week. I was away and just not really in the mood to force any posts up. Judging my stats, I’d better rectify that now! Before going further, I can promise that there will be a new review… Continue Reading “News to Catch Up On”

Tides of Time app updated – they read my review!

Or at least it seems like it, anyway. At least partially. Tides of Time from Portal Games came out in app form a few weeks ago, and while it’s a fairly fun game, the lack of multiplayer and a few unfortunate UI decisions made… Continue Reading “Tides of Time app updated – they read my review!”

App Review – Tides of Time

(Edit: 5/7/20 – I forgot to link to the review when I posted that they’ve updated the app. It’s still not awesome, but it’s not bad anymore. And it’s temporarily (as of this writing) free!) There’s something to be said for seeing ages and… Continue Reading “App Review – Tides of Time”

Galaxy Trucker Ships Out to Steam

Yesterday, one of the best boardgame apps ever made finally appeared on Steam after a long period on iOS/Android. Galaxy Trucker, by Czech Games Edition, is a game that doesn’t really seem like it would be a good fit on digital. It’s a real-time… Continue Reading “Galaxy Trucker Ships Out to Steam”

App Review – Mystic Vale

This year has been a big year for digital boardgames already, just two months in. (Editor – Not that you would have heard about it reading this blog) One game that’s sort of left over from last year, but just had the first expansion… Continue Reading “App Review – Mystic Vale”

App Review – Morels

I don’t like mushrooms. Just imagining the texture and tasting them makes my skin crawl a little bit. I used to pick them off of my Supreme pizza, though now if I happen to get a piece of Supreme, I’ll grin and bear it… Continue Reading “App Review – Morels”
