App Review – Evolution: Climate (With a Little Evolution Thrown In)

A couple of months ago, I reviewed Oceans, a sequel of sorts to the great game from North Star Games Evolution. But North Star is never willing to sit on their hands and revel in the joy of a successful app. After a kind… Continue Reading “App Review – Evolution: Climate (With a Little Evolution Thrown In)”

App Review – Maracaibo

Have you ever wanted to just get slammed upside the head repeatedly by a deck of cards? No, just me? Well, it’s a good thing that you probably don’t suck at Maracaibo as much as I do, so you’ll probably actually enjoy not having… Continue Reading “App Review – Maracaibo”

Review – Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition

(Edit: This game is on my Top 25 games played of all time!) What happens when one of your favourite games gets a bit of a revamp where it’s faster and also uses some mechanisms from other games that you like? It’s not the… Continue Reading “Review – Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition”

Expansion Review – Smash Up: Marvel

My first Smash Up review in almost two years! One of my pandemic lock-down games purchases (and yes, there were many…too many) was the latest Smash Up expansion, this time done as a co-production with the OP and thus including the Marvel Comics license.… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: Marvel”

Review – Whirling Witchcraft

Do you like giving it to one of your opponents, good and hard? By that I mean, of course, by overwhelming them with so much stuff that they can’t cope with it. (What did you think I meant?) Anyway, if you like that sort… Continue Reading “Review – Whirling Witchcraft”

Expansion Review – Roll Player: Fiends & Familiars

Roll Player has been one of the greatest purchases I made during the pandemic lockdown in 2020-21, when I was trying to buy some games I could play at home. My wife and I played it a bunch of times! As part of buying… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Roll Player: Fiends & Familiars”

Feeling a little grey? Suffering from a lack of colour in your life? Have I got the game for you. TEN is the new card game published by Alderac Entertainment Group (AEG) and it is bright! Just look at that box. The game was… Continue Reading “Review – TEN”

Review – Crave

I’m not sure if Vampires will ever go out of style. Is it the exotic nature of them that can sometimes turn erotic? (Please, nobody bring up Twilight….crap, too late) Whatever it is, vampires are all over pop culture, and even in a few… Continue Reading “Review – Crave”

Expansion Review – Shards of Infinity: Into the Horizon

I’ve playing a ton of the Shards of Infinity app and I finally played the card game last year at Dice Tower West. I liked it so much that I bought it during the pandemic lockdown for me and the wife to play. It… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Shards of Infinity: Into the Horizon”

App Review – Oceans

I love science. I love science even more when it’s in the name of a boardgame that’s talking about science. That’s why I really like Evolution. But wait, this isn’t about Evolution! Though it does have a pretty kick-ass app. No, this review is… Continue Reading “App Review – Oceans”
