Racing Robots – Into the Machine Review
There’s something to be said for a game where you’re not chasing the usual points to win the game. Where you’re just doing something and hoping you’ll win the game. Of course, a good game won’t have you hoping. It will instead let you… Continue Reading “Racing Robots – Into the Machine Review”
Things Are Getting Stranger – Final Girl – The Falconwood Files Review
I’m actually surprised that it took the Final Girl franchise until Series 3 to do a film based on Stranger Things. However, when they decide to do so, they go whole hog and throw in everything but the kitchen sink. Did you think there… Continue Reading “Things Are Getting Stranger – Final Girl – The Falconwood Files Review”
The Distant Sound of Thunder – Rumble Nation Review
That’s the sound of a medieval nation in the throes of civil war. Also the sound of dice hitting the table! Both sound ominous. Rumble Nation is a dice-chucking area control game where players are attempting to take over as many provinces as possible… Continue Reading “The Distant Sound of Thunder – Rumble Nation Review”
Is Expertise Overrated? – Era of Experts Review (Inventors of the South Tigris Expansion)
Era of Experts is the expansion for the really long and intricate, but still quite good Inventors of the South Tigris game from Garphill Games. It has taken a while to actually get enough plays of this expansion in order to do a review.… Continue Reading “Is Expertise Overrated? – Era of Experts Review (Inventors of the South Tigris Expansion)”
I Think This is an OSHA Violation – Final Girl – The Marrek Murders Review
I mean, with all of these death traps scattered around the warehouse, who do we sue? Another in the Series 3 feature films for the wonderful Final Girl solo franchise, we once again have a film that adds a bunch of stuff to keep… Continue Reading “I Think This is an OSHA Violation – Final Girl – The Marrek Murders Review”
Updated Evolution – Doomlings 3rd Edition Review
A couple of years ago, someone from Doomlings Inc reached out to me and asked me if I’d be interested in reviewing the second (I presume, though I thought it was the first!) edition of this cool new card game where you are a… Continue Reading “Updated Evolution – Doomlings 3rd Edition Review”
Trapped in Hell – Final Girl – Hell to Pay Review
There’s something about reviewing these Final Girl feature films kind of out of order that really highlights some things about the various series/seasons. I did all of Series 4 (except the one that hasn’t come out yet) prior to doing most of Series 3… Continue Reading “Trapped in Hell – Final Girl – Hell to Pay Review”
Bidding Rats – Ratzia Review
One of my favourite auction games has to be Reiner Knizia’s classic game, Ra. I love the pieces, I love the auction mechanism where you are either starting an auction on what’s out there or you are adding to it, but the choice may… Continue Reading “Bidding Rats – Ratzia Review”
Agency Aliens – SETI: Space Agencies Expansion Review
One of the huge hits from 2025, especially for me (hitting #12 on my Top 50 games of All Time list) was SETI. This game about scouring the solar system for various signs of alien life, all while trying to complete missions and land… Continue Reading “Agency Aliens – SETI: Space Agencies Expansion Review”
Keep Quiet or You’re Dead – Final Girl – Don’t Make a Sound Review
The Final Girl series of solo horror games has had a bunch of different kinds of artwork in its various feature films, but they’ve all been similar in some fashion. You can tell they’re be different artists, but you can also tell that they’re… Continue Reading “Keep Quiet or You’re Dead – Final Girl – Don’t Make a Sound Review”
