Expansion Review – Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition – Discovery & Foundations
When Stronghold Games announced that one of my favourite games, Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition was getting not one, but three expansions, I was pretty excited. And judging from the hits on that post I just linked, you were too! My friend who owns that… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition – Discovery & Foundations”
Expansion Review – Clank in Space: Cyber Station 11
Finally, my set is complete! Clank in Space is always near the top of my games played. I just love the deckbuilding aspects, how the board works, and how you can end the game without any points. Ok, I don’t love that last part,… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Clank in Space: Cyber Station 11”
Earth – Card Game Review
(I put “card game” review in the title so you don’t think it’s a review of the planet we live on, or maybe a good gardening company) Nature seems to be the in thing for games right now. If I had a penny for… Continue Reading “Earth – Card Game Review”
Viscounts of the West Kingdom – Storage Solution from Folded Space
If you’ve read this blog for more than five minutes, then you know that I’m a huge fan of Garphill Games and especially the West Kingdom trilogy of games. I’ve reviewed two of them (Architects of the West Kingdom and Viscounts of the West… Continue Reading “Viscounts of the West Kingdom – Storage Solution from Folded Space”
Expansion Review – Smash Up Micro-Expansion – Knights of the Round Table
It’s been a while since I did one of these micro-expansion Smash Up reviews (has it really been 5 months? Where has the time gone?). I had meant to do these monthly, but that promise to myself was like a new version of Glory… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up Micro-Expansion – Knights of the Round Table”
Review – Aces of Valor
Ever since the pandemic started, I have been collecting a lot of solo wargames. Even once the lockdowns ended and life returned to at least relative normal, I still found the idea of chucking dice or drawing cards for a game where I am… Continue Reading “Review – Aces of Valor”
Expansion Review – Viscounts of the West Kingdom – Gates of Gold
With the last Viscounts of the West Kingdom Kickstarter (way back in…I can’t remember when!), Garphill Games decided that rather than release expansions for this great games in dribs and drabs, as well as then finally releasing a Deluxe box for the entire game,… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Viscounts of the West Kingdom – Gates of Gold”
Expansion Review – Viscounts of the West Kingdom – Keeper of Keys
Shem Phillips and S J MacDonald of Garphill Games fame, seem to have a side job in addition to designing great games. They are the Adepts of Alliteration! That’s why all of their expansions have brilliant alliteration. Works of Wonder, Age of Artisans, and… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Viscounts of the West Kingdom – Keeper of Keys”
Clank in Space – Storage Solution From Folded Space
I know I’ve done quite a few posts about storage solutions from Rails on Board/Cube4Me, but they’re not the only game in town. For some games, what they offer isn’t quite sufficient, because there is literally a shit-ton of cards in them and big… Continue Reading “Clank in Space – Storage Solution From Folded Space”
Almoravid – Storage Solution from Rails on Board
I promised at the end of last year that there would be one more of these storage solution posts coming, with me buying Almoravid from GMT Games but not having actually picking it up from our US post box. I finally did, and while… Continue Reading “Almoravid – Storage Solution from Rails on Board”
