Back to Video Game Fighting – Tag Team Review
There have been a few “auto-battler” card games out in the last few years, most notably Challengers (which is a huge multiplayer tournament romp if you do it right). What is an auto-battler? It’s when you have a deck of cards shuffled, and you… Continue Reading “Back to Video Game Fighting – Tag Team Review”
Elevating Card Play – Up or Down Review
Relatively quick card games are my bread and butter on work lunches, though of course we also make time for some other shorter games (like Cascadia). One game that was not on my radar at all until I saw the Boardgame Geek GameNight! crew… Continue Reading “Elevating Card Play – Up or Down Review”
Dinos Dinos Everywhere! – Final Girl – The Raptor Games Review
We are now down to it. The final Final Girl feature film left for me to play, though I do have three vignettes to play. Series 4 is now over with the release of The Raptor Games, a film where you are on an… Continue Reading “Dinos Dinos Everywhere! – Final Girl – The Raptor Games Review”
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”
