The 80s are Returning!!! – Rambo Kickstarter Upcoming
You can tell that many current game designers grew up in the 1980s. We’re in that sweet spot where 35-45 year-olds are really getting into game design, and why not use something that we grew up when designing a game? First, there was (in… Continue Reading “The 80s are Returning!!! – Rambo Kickstarter Upcoming”
Should Your Kids Play Board Games?
There’s plenty of controversy regarding whether or not (and how much, if so) your kids should play video games. But what about board games? I just saw an interesting blog post on Twitter by “Dr. Corriel” called “8 Reasons Your Child Should Play Board… Continue Reading “Should Your Kids Play Board Games?”
Dead of Winter – Warring Colonies are Coming!
Zombie games have become old hat (but it’s not “plaid”), but there are still some interesting things out there in the genre. One of the more interesting recent games is Dead of Winter: A Crossroads Game from Plaid Hat Games. It came out in… Continue Reading “Dead of Winter – Warring Colonies are Coming!”
Keeping Track of Your Game Plays
Are you one of those people who keeps track of your games played? You want to know how many times you’ve played a game, how many times you’ve played it against certain opponents, how many times Bob has kicked your ass at a game?… Continue Reading “Keeping Track of Your Game Plays”
New to Me – April 2017
It was another great month for “new to me” games in April. I played a total of six new ones, and not a bad one in the bunch. I always enjoy playing new games, but I’m not in the “Cult of the New,” as… Continue Reading “New to Me – April 2017”

This is a game that I really don’t like on the table because when… Continue Reading “Galaxy Trucker app – International Tabletop Day”
Expansion Fatigue – Is it Possible?
As boardgamers, we love our expansions, at least most of us do. If we have a favourite game and a new expansion is announced for it, we start drooling like a dog who just noticed that you work at a dog food plant and… Continue Reading “Expansion Fatigue – Is it Possible?”
Review – Favor of the Pharaoh
Playing dice games out in the middle of the desert can be a trying task. You throw the dice and they just land without actually rolling. “Look! I just got seven 6s!!!!” “Nonsense, you just tossed them there!” Not to mention that it’s hot.… Continue Reading “Review – Favor of the Pharaoh”
Caverna: Cave vs Cave – Coming Soon
Uwe Rosenberg games often make my brain hurt. I still dislike Agricola because I feel like a monster when I can’t feed my family (yes, you get begging tokens that cost you victory points rather than little Timmy actually starving, but I know the… Continue Reading “Caverna: Cave vs Cave – Coming Soon”
Mobile Terra Mystica is Out – First Impressions
Last Thursday, Terra Mystica hit our mobile screens, right on schedule. It’s a great-looking app. Digidiced should be proud. I’m not going to go into the rules or how the game itself plays, however, as it would take way too long and probably wouldn’t… Continue Reading “Mobile Terra Mystica is Out – First Impressions”
