Review – TEN

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”

Review – The Rival Networks

I have always loved The Networks, ever since the beginning. It was one of my first Kickstarter games and it’s solidly in my Top 10 games of all time. So when I heard that a 2-player version of the game, The Rival Networks, was… Continue Reading “Review – The Rival Networks”

App Review – Neuroshima Hex by Portal Games

(Edit – 12/14/21: I completely forgot to update this to say that the Steel Police faction is now out. Free if you had it in the app before! Now there are 5 factions to choose from) The Neuroshima Hex app has been around for… Continue Reading “App Review – Neuroshima Hex by Portal Games”

Review – The City

This review actually has more twists and turns than a City Council meeting trying to issue a policy that will please all of its residents. I guess I should identify the game I’m talking about first, though. The City is a tableau-building card game… Continue Reading “Review – The City”

App Review – Concordia by Acram Digital

“Trading in the Mediterranean” has become a bit of a cliche. But look at designer Mac Gerdts breaking that cliche and making it interesting again! The boardgame version of Concordia, designed by Gerdts with artwork by Marina Fahrenbach, Mac Gerdts and Dominik Mayer, came out in… Continue Reading “App Review – Concordia by Acram Digital”

Expansion Review – Roll Player: Monsters & Minions

One of the biggest hits for me during the beginning of the pandemic (when I bought way too many games than I really should have) was Roll Player. I had played it once before, was intrigued by it, but never actually got to play… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Roll Player: Monsters & Minions”

Review – Raiders of the North Sea Big Box

One of the first posts I did on this blog talked about how board game box inserts can be so important. The problem with even good inserts has always been “what about the expansion(s)?” That’s a viable point. I’ve seen many games where the… Continue Reading “Review – Raiders of the North Sea Big Box”
