Review – Deus
Some days you just want to stay in bed. And some days, you want to go out and conquer a bunch of hexagonal-shaped tiles with a bunch of barbarians on them before some other conquering civilization does. Because you snooze, you lose, know what… Continue Reading “Review – Deus”
Gaming With Dad
Yesterday was the first Father’s Day since my father passed back in December. For the most part, it was just another day and it didn’t hit me that hard. To be honest, I’d almost forgotten about it. There was just one comment at our… Continue Reading “Gaming With Dad”
World Tour: Culture Shock Coming Soon
I can’t believe I missed this. This blog could almost be called the Smash Up blog (especially after last week’s review of the first World Tour expansion) but yet somehow this news escaped me. Yes, I already knew (and probably mentioned) that the next World… Continue Reading “World Tour: Culture Shock Coming Soon”
Expansion Review – Smash Up: International Incident

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”
Review – Arboretum
Imagine you really love trees, so much so that you want to build your own place to house them. To look at them. To love them. Say you’re walking through your forest of trees, when you are suddenly attacked by a bunch of ninjas… Continue Reading “Review – Arboretum”
The Rival Networks Coming from Formal Ferret Games
Quick news post today (I promise a review is coming later this week). Long-time readers know of my love for The Networks (designed by Gil Hova). Not only did I give it a glowing review, but it made it into my Top 5 games… Continue Reading “The Rival Networks Coming from Formal Ferret Games”
Book Review – Vietnam: An Epic Tragedy, 1945-75
I have greatly enjoyed many military history books written by Max Hastings (including an excellent book on the Churchill war years that I haven’t reviewed yet but you should definitely check out). Today, though, I would like to tell you about a magnum opus… Continue Reading “Book Review – Vietnam: An Epic Tragedy, 1945-75”
