Labyrinth: the War on Terror – Early Access on Steam – First Look
With all of us hopefully staying indoors for a large part of our day for the foreseeable future, digital boardgaming apps (as well as online gaming, but that’s not what this post is about) are becoming more and more important in our lives. This… Continue Reading “Labyrinth: the War on Terror – Early Access on Steam – First Look”
Tekhenu – New Picture!
We’re all still enjoying enduring all of this self-isolation. For that reason, a lot of my blog hits have been on apps, mobile, and online gaming. Yet there are still lots of great boardgame-specific things going on, and here’s another post about one of… Continue Reading “Tekhenu – New Picture!”
New to Me – March 2020
As we move into April, the self-isolation continues. For some people, that was their normal behaviour anyway, but it’s still hard to be sequestered away from seeing pretty much anybody.

What, did you think I meant global annihilation or something like that? Let’s save that… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: Monster Smash”
Twilight Struggle: Red Sea – Conflict in the Horn of Africa – From GMT Games
(Edit – 12/2/22) – This has now been charged which means it’s going to be shipping this month! Can’t wait to get my hands on it. We may all be stuck at home, either working from home (hopefully) or quarantined (if so, I hope… Continue Reading “Twilight Struggle: Red Sea – Conflict in the Horn of Africa – From GMT Games”
Expansion Review – Smash Up: Awesome Level 9000
It’s been a few months since I’ve done a Smash Up expansion review. Between the Christmas holidays and work stuff getting the way, it’s taken a while to get the required three plays in to review the first of the five new expansions I… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: Awesome Level 9000”
Preview – Dead Reckoning
John D. Clair is one of my favourite designers, and I find the “card-crafting” game mechanic to be very neat. Space Base is #16 in my best games played of all time list and its position is well-deserved (even though it’s not a card-crafting… Continue Reading “Preview – Dead Reckoning”
