Another Civilization Game Coming?
Every year, just before GenCon, Fantasy Flight Games makes a bunch of new announcements that get the game world buzzing. Last week there were two: the Fallout: the Boardgame announcement (for which I’m pumped) and the announcement of Twilight Imperium 4th Edition (which didn’t… Continue Reading “Another Civilization Game Coming?”
Fallout: the Boardgame Coming in late 2017
Video games and board games have often had a bit of cross over (though I’m waiting for the First-Person Shooter version of Catan, myself). Titles like XCom: the Board Game come to mind as games based on video game franchises that actually end up… Continue Reading “Fallout: the Boardgame Coming in late 2017”
Paperback Game App Gets Online Play
Paperback is a wonderful combination of word game and deck-building card game where you are trying to form words from the letter cards in your hands. The letters have money value when you play them, and you use that money to buy more letter… Continue Reading “Paperback Game App Gets Online Play”
Flash Point: Tragic Events expansion on Kickstarter
No sooner do I pledge (see what I did there) that I won’t back any more Kickstarters this year (other than The Networks: Executives, of course), then I see word that there’s a new Flash Point: Fire Rescue expansion just popping up on Kickstarter.… Continue Reading “Flash Point: Tragic Events expansion on Kickstarter”

Viticulture is a game about running a vineyard for victory points (yes, those nasty victory points again). I’m… Continue Reading “New Visitors Expansion for Viticulture in 2018”
Onirim updated again – Crossroads & Dead Ends expansion
Aren’t surprises wonderful? Ok, not always. It sort of sucks to be driving along late at night and then suddenly you’re in a construction hold-up in line with other cars that you weren’t expecting and there’s no way to turn around or bail. But… Continue Reading “Onirim updated again – Crossroads & Dead Ends expansion”
Imhotep expansion – Eine neue Dynastie coming in October
I’m a big fan of the 2016 game Imhotep, the quick and easy game where you’re building monuments in ancient Egypt for points. It’s so good and easy that my non-gamer co-worker played it and loved it. So I was excited to see the… Continue Reading “Imhotep expansion – Eine neue Dynastie coming in October”
Planet of the Apes games coming to a table near you
Nostalgia is definitely becoming a bit of a watchword in the board gaming industry. First there were a few 80s callbacks (including two Big Trouble in Little China games that came out/were announced before I started this blog). Now we’re going back even further,… Continue Reading “Planet of the Apes games coming to a table near you”
Lotus from Renegade Games coming to mobile
Sometimes when you get email, you groan because it’s yet another Nigerian Prince scam or a co-worker wants you to do something for them that they will never really thank you for. But then sometimes you get an email like I did the other… Continue Reading “Lotus from Renegade Games coming to mobile”
