(Edit: A resolution has been reached!) (Original post below) It’s all over. For now. Yesterday, Stronghold Games pulled the Kickstarter for the new Aftershock game after it had fully funded. According to company president Stephen Buonocore, this was because: “the Deluxe Edition upgrades (and… Continue Reading “An Open Letter to Stronghold Games”

Stronghold Games Continuing Aftershock Twitter Tantrum

(Edit: The Aftershock Kickstarter campaign has been cancelled. Apparently due to the quiet response to some of the “deluxe” things they were offering. Nothing about this controversy, but I thought I would update you on that part at least.) (2nd Edit: I’ve since posted… Continue Reading “Stronghold Games Continuing Aftershock Twitter Tantrum”

New to Me – January 2019

Damn, I hate colds. Colds that work their way into your head and then just sit there, clogging up your sinuses until your head feels bigger than when you get a compliment from somebody you really admire. But not in a good way. The… Continue Reading “New to Me – January 2019”

War of the Worlds: The New Wave – on Kickstarter

(Edit – 12/20/19: for those of you who found this page some other way, the review is live!) While I have never read the actual H.G. Wells book, I am a big fan of the War of the Worlds concept. I watched the original… Continue Reading “War of the Worlds: The New Wave – on Kickstarter”

Suburbia – Collector’s Edition Now Live on Kickstarter

Last week, I announced (along with probably every boardgame news and blog outlet out there, but I like to think I broke the story) (Editor – Indulge him. It can only help) that the Suburbia – Collector’s Edition was coming to Kickstarter. Today’s the day! The Collector’s Edition,… Continue Reading “Suburbia – Collector’s Edition Now Live on Kickstarter”

Review – Mephisto

Are you somebody who would like to make a deal with a very scary demon in order to gain the ultimate power in the universe? If you are, please forget that you know me. However, if you would like to pretend that you are… Continue Reading “Review – Mephisto”

Suburbia Collectors Edition Coming to Kickstarter on January 14

Suburbia was one of my first board game purchases when I came back to the hobby many years ago. It’s still one of my favourite games. Designed by Ted Alspach, this is a tile-laying game where each player is trying to build the most… Continue Reading “Suburbia Collectors Edition Coming to Kickstarter on January 14”
