Pandemic: Rising Tide – The King of Bad Timing
Poor Z-Man games. What happens when you have all of your publicity planned for a game, ready to go out on a certain day, and then suddenly the world explodes with not one, not two, but three events that would each individually make you… Continue Reading “Pandemic: Rising Tide – The King of Bad Timing”
Cult of the New to Me
Among the boardgame community, there are quite a few people who will generally only play new games that have just come out. They must have as much of the new “hotness” as possible, even though they’ve been raving so much about the new game… Continue Reading “Cult of the New to Me”

Another Civilization Game Coming?
Every year, just before GenCon, Fantasy Flight Games makes a bunch of new announcements that get the game world buzzing.
