The Fantastic Four returns to Marvel Legendary!

I’m a big Marvel Legendary fan. Between enjoying the Marvel comics of my youth and then some awesome deck-building action, I’ve bought all of the expansions until the last one (I’m running out of room!) and it just feels so cool. One of the… Continue Reading “The Fantastic Four returns to Marvel Legendary!”

Raiders of the North Sea – Renegade Games

One bit of news came out while I was gone last week that got me a little excited. Yesterday’s “New to Me – May 2017” post included my play of Jorvik, a viking game about settling northern England. There seems to be a bunch of… Continue Reading “Raiders of the North Sea – Renegade Games”

Onirim App Update Adds Glyphs!

Hot on the heels of yesterday’s Onirim app review, where I mentioned that when it came out Asmodee Digital had said there were no plans for the expansions, look what showed up on the app store? Yes, the Glyphs expansion dropped today, free as… Continue Reading “Onirim App Update Adds Glyphs!”

Asmodee Digital is busy – Jaipur released and New Game Announced

One thing you cannot say about Asmodee Digital is that they are goofing off. Unless you count playing games as goofing off, in which case I’m done with you.

AEG’s Destination Fun pack coming in June

I’m a big fan of the Trains deck-building game from Alderac Entertainment Group (AEG). It’s a very popular game, and I can definitely see why.
