Riftforce: Beyond – Coming From Capstone Games in August
One of the cool new 2-player games I bought during the pandemic lockdowns and brought to work once we came back to the office was Riftforce. The game is designed by Carlo Bartolini with artwork by Miguel Coimbra. It was published by Capstone Games.… Continue Reading “Riftforce: Beyond – Coming From Capstone Games in August”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario #119 – Sky Fall
It’s my one year anniversary on the Combat Commander ladder! Yes, in May 2021, I played my first game on the ladder tournament where you play against another ladder participant and try to increase your ranking to the top spot. The ladder tournament, led… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario #119 – Sky Fall”
Roll Player App Enters Early Access on Steam
One of my favourite games that I didn’t know I liked that much but the pandemic brought it more to my attention (I know that’s kind of a limited category) was Roll Player, the dice-placement game designed by Keith Matejka with artwork JJ Ariosa,… Continue Reading “Roll Player App Enters Early Access on Steam”
Storm Above the Reich – After Action Report – Mission #18
There’s something about campaigns that keeps bringing a game to the table. Especially if everybody involved is having fun. In a solo game, the only person you need to worry about is yourself so it’s a lot easier. And I’m enjoying the Staffel Roy… Continue Reading “Storm Above the Reich – After Action Report – Mission #18”
Expansion Review – Architects of the West Kingdom – Age of Artisans
It’s no secret how much I love Architects of the West Kingdom. Even with my top 4 games being GMT Games, Architects still managed to get into the Top 5 games played of all time for 2022. With the Works of Wonder expansion just… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Architects of the West Kingdom – Age of Artisans”
App Expansion Review – Terraforming Mars: Hellas & Elysium Maps
The Terraforming Mars app has had an up and down history. So much so that for a while, I wasn’t going to buy it (though I eventually succumbed). And it has greatly improved over time, especially with the Prelude expansion. However, one thing players… Continue Reading “App Expansion Review – Terraforming Mars: Hellas & Elysium Maps”
Storm Above the Reich – After Action Report – Mission #17
After the disappointing end to the 1943 Mid season for the Staffel Roy campaign of Storm Above the Reich, it was time to regather ourselves, have a team meeting, maybe bake some cookies, and forge ahead into the 1943 Late season. This season also… Continue Reading “Storm Above the Reich – After Action Report – Mission #17”
App Expansion Review – Wingspan: European Expansion
The Wingspan app published by Monster Couch Games has been a wonderful app since it came out in October 2020. Online play oddities aside, the game has very few bugs that I’m aware of and it’s a brilliant digital adaptation of the boardgame designed… Continue Reading “App Expansion Review – Wingspan: European Expansion”
Wayfarers of the South Tigris – 5 Days to go for the Kickstarter!
I admit it. I’m a Garphill Games fanboy. I love almost everything they’ve produced (though I’m not a rabid one, as there are a few of their games that I’m not interested in, and I am not a big fan of Explorers of the… Continue Reading “Wayfarers of the South Tigris – 5 Days to go for the Kickstarter!”
Storm Above the Reich – After Action Report – Mission #16
Here it is. We’ve reached the final mission in the Mid-1943 season in the Staffel Roy campaign for Storm Above the Reich. Yes, this is the game where you are running a German fighter squadron attempting to save the Fatherland from American bombing. And… Continue Reading “Storm Above the Reich – After Action Report – Mission #16”
