First Look – Undaunted: Normandy app on Steam
Undaunted: Normandy is a wargame/card game combination designed by the excellent designers David Thompson and Trevor Benjamin. It was published in 2019 by Osprey Games and I actually wrote about how excited I was when it was first announced. Then I never bought it.… Continue Reading “First Look – Undaunted: Normandy app on Steam”
Early Access First Impressions – Brass Birmingham App by Phalanx Games
During my self-imposed blogging hiatus, exciting news came out. Brass: Birmingham was being released in app form on Steam by Phalanx Games and Cublo! It’s now in Early Access.

Dominion App From Temple Gates Games – Beta First Impressions
It’s really cool to be involved with something that not everybody else has access to. Hell, that’s why I started this blog!

One of the pleasures of going to a convention like Dragonflight is the ability to playtest/demo upcoming games, most of the time with the designers themselves. On Sunday morning, after I had checked out of my room and was looking for a game (or… Continue Reading “First Impressions – Mephisto”
First Impressions – Space Base
Edit (4/1/19) – My full review is now up! Check that out if you want my opinion of this game after 5 plays rather than this quick and dirty one. Original post below: What if you could play the good parts of Machi Koro… Continue Reading “First Impressions – Space Base”
First Impressions – Modern Art
I’m not a huge fan of auction games. I’m just not great at figuring out value for money and deciding when to stop bidding on something. Probably why I don’t do the family finances. For some reason, though, the first time I played Modern… Continue Reading “First Impressions – Modern Art”
First Impressions – Custom Heroes
“Crafting” cards is becoming a new fad in boardgaming, though I think it’s mainly AEG who are doing it. Games like Mystic Vale, where you can gain cards and then improve them, are starting to become more prominent. Last night, I got the chance… Continue Reading “First Impressions – Custom Heroes”
