Review – Architects of the West Kingdom

(Edit: 5/16/22) – I did a review of the Age of Artisans expansion. Check it out! History is my bag. I was “hist” online for a long time before I realized that I would never be found by search engines with that title. Hence, “whovian223”… Continue Reading “Review – Architects of the West Kingdom”

App Review – Tides of Time

(Edit: 5/7/20 – I forgot to link to the review when I posted that they’ve updated the app. It’s still not awesome, but it’s not bad anymore. And it’s temporarily (as of this writing) free!) There’s something to be said for seeing ages and… Continue Reading “App Review – Tides of Time”

Terraforming Mars: Turmoil Coming… to Kickstarter?

(Edit: 3/14/19) – While Stephen Buonocore hasn’t responded to my email yet, Enoch Fryxelius (one of the other Fryxelius brothers, I assume?) did respond to the thread on BGG about this with the following information: “Let me first of all confirm that TM:Turmoil will… Continue Reading “Terraforming Mars: Turmoil Coming… to Kickstarter?”

Valley of the Kings Premium Edition – Kickstarter April 2

I’m a big deck-building fan, and the various Valley of the Kings ones are no exception. The three games are the base game, Afterlife and Last Rites.  They all come in really small boxes. The games are designed by Tom Cleaver with artwork by Banu Andaru and Guillermo H.… Continue Reading “Valley of the Kings Premium Edition – Kickstarter April 2”

New to Me – February 2019

February didn’t feel like it was going to be a good month for new to me games, mainly because I was horribly ill during one weekend and missed a game day. Thankfully, the other days had a good variety of new games as well… Continue Reading “New to Me – February 2019”

App Review – Mystic Vale

This year has been a big year for digital boardgames already, just two months in. (Editor – Not that you would have heard about it reading this blog) One game that’s sort of left over from last year, but just had the first expansion… Continue Reading “App Review – Mystic Vale”

Undaunted: Normandy Announced by Osprey Games

Not a lot of time to finish the “New to Me: February” post today, so that will be early next week. Instead, how about some quick news about what looks like a really intriguing World War II deckbuilder? What’s that you say? You’re asking… Continue Reading “Undaunted: Normandy Announced by Osprey Games”

They’ve retooled the campaign along with adding the subtitle to the name to… Continue Reading “Stronghold Games Relaunches Kickstarter”
