AuZtralia now live on Kickstarter
Guess what else just arrived on Kickstarter? (I’ll refrain from the same joke I used in yesterday’s Werewords post). You may remember me gushing about the idea of AuZtralia, designed by Martin Wallace. It’s the spiritual sequel to his brilliant game, A Study in… Continue Reading “AuZtralia now live on Kickstarter”
New to Me – February 2018
After the rather dead January for New to Me games, February really picked up. So much so that my last game session I had to try and play some previously-played games just so that I didn’t overload myself (this writing stuff is hard!). That… Continue Reading “New to Me – February 2018”
App Review – MeteorFall
One of the most highly-acclaimed (except for the artwork, which unfortunately drives some people away) rogue-like deck-building apps is Dream Quest. For many users, Dream Quest is the epitome of what a deck-building rogue-like game is, and every future game in the genre will… Continue Reading “App Review – MeteorFall”
Digidiced Going to the Beautiful Country
Digidiced has a long history (in output, not necessarily in time) of producing quality board game apps for Steam and your mobile devices.

Whistle Stop Puts Mountains in Your Way
Whistle Stop is a relatively light train game published by Bezier Games that unfortunately I haven’t had a chance to play yet, mainly due to a lack of opportunity. Designer Scott Caputo has not let the fact that I haven’t played it yet stop… Continue Reading “Whistle Stop Puts Mountains in Your Way”

City of Gears (Designers: Daryl Andrews and Chris Leder; Artists: Anthony Cournoyer and… Continue Reading “City of Gears now on Kickstarter”
Q & A – Ted Alspach
Ted Alspach is one of my favourite game designers out there. His first design that I fell in love with was Suburbia, with it’s interesting tile-laying mechanic where you have to attention to what others are building in their suburb as well. Little did I… Continue Reading “Q & A – Ted Alspach”
Bezier Games Announces Werewords Deluxe
Have you had enough Werewords in your life? You know, that hit hidden-role word game where players are trying to guess a word but not get eaten by the werewolf? Bezier Games doesn’t think it’s possible to have had enough. They have just announced… Continue Reading “Bezier Games Announces Werewords Deluxe”
Review – Hanamikoji
(Editor’s Note: Apparently there is conflicting information about whether Hanamikoji was a capital at any point. I took my description below directly from the BGG site for the game, but other information seems to contradict that.) Like any honest businessperson, we would all want… Continue Reading “Review – Hanamikoji”
