Stop Stealing My Stuff! – Cover Your Assets review
Some people don’t like “take that” games, where you are actively trying to harm your opponent (not literally, of course, unless you’re playing a game in some action movie against a mad villain who has made this a kill or be killed situation). These… Continue Reading “Stop Stealing My Stuff! – Cover Your Assets review”
It Could Be Anyone! – Final Girl – Panic at Station 2891 Review
Anybody with any horror movie knowledge has heard of The Thing, directed by John Carpenter.

First Impressions – Galactic Cruise
This is another “first impressions” post about a new game, a game that I’m not sure I will get three plays of but yet one I want to talk about. As I said in my Friday Night Shots post about first impressions, this is… Continue Reading “First Impressions – Galactic Cruise”
New to Me – August 2025

Trading Against the Tide – Tides of Trade Review (Wayfarers of the South Tigris Expansion)
The recent Kickstarter from Garphill Games with all of the South Tigris expansions recently showed up on my doorstep, so apologies for the fact that you’re going to be inundated with South Tigris content for a little bit! After getting through the Scholars of… Continue Reading “Trading Against the Tide – Tides of Trade Review (Wayfarers of the South Tigris Expansion)”
Defiance or Appeasement? – Bell of Treason Review
There’s something about a meaty game that plays in 45 minutes that just appeals to me. It makes for a nice lunch but it still exercises the brain a bit. Adding historical flavour is just the icing on the cake. I really enjoyed Mark… Continue Reading “Defiance or Appeasement? – Bell of Treason Review”
Bury the Nose – Body of Books Review (Scholars of the South Tigris expansion)
