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”

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”
