I am big fan of Chad Jensen creation – Combat Commander series. I mainly play the European version – you can see my detailed review on this – and whenever possible, advocate to other players the advantages of…
Wow, I’m lazy. Either that, or I’ve been in a bad mental space. You know, 2021 was supposed to be better, but so far it’s barely been marginally better and that’s only because 2020 sucked so much. I finished the Top 200 BGG games… Continue Reading “Boardgame Geek Top 300 – Play or Played – #300-291”
One game from 2013 that slipped under my radar (probably because I just really got into gaming in 2012) was Gravwell. The game, designed by Corey Young, looks like an intriguing and quick-playing race game. Yesterday, I received an exciting email from Renegade Game… Continue Reading “Gravwell (2nd Edition) Coming from Renegade Game Studios”
I’ve posted a few times about games on the P500 list from GMT Games, the system where once pre-orders reach 500 they will be put into the production queue. It’s almost like Kickstarter, except you’re not obligated to pay until the game actually ships,… Continue Reading “In the Shadows – GMT Games”

Double post day! Just received this in my email and thought I’d post something on the same day instead of a day later. What’s the news? (oh yeah, it’s in the title) Greater Than Games has announced that, for the 10th Anniversary of the… Continue Reading “Sentinels of the Multiverse Definitive Edition – Kickstarter on March 30”
Another day, another Kickstarter! I’m a sucker for quick 2-player card games that can be played at work. I already backed one of them previously, and here’s another! Radlands is a 2-player card game published by Roxley Games. It’s designed by Daniel Piechnick with… Continue Reading “Radlands by Roxley Games – Now on Kickstarter”
Given the typical Friday nights that many people are having right now, who wouldn’t want to play a game about cornering the booze market! MOB: Big Apple is a 2-player area control and action selection game that just hit Kickstarter yesterday. It’s designed by… Continue Reading “MOB – Big Apple – On kickstarter now”
Can you name a game that I have played 61 times with various expansions but for some reason haven’t actually done a review for? You can? How is that? Oh, it’s in the title of this post. Cheater. Anyway, Legendary: a Marvel Deckbuilding Game… Continue Reading “Review – Legendary: A Marvel Deckbuilding Game”
