App Review – Viticulture
Viticulture is a great game about running a vineyard. Please note: it’s running a vineyard, not necessarily making wine (though there is plenty of that too).

Expansion Review – Smash Up: Monster Smash
Wow, two Smash Up expansion reviews in two weeks? After a months-long hiatus? What can that mean? It means that I’ve been combining new expansions while playing them for review. What, did you think I meant global annihilation or something like that? Let’s save that… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: Monster Smash”
Expansion Review – Smash Up: Awesome Level 9000
It’s been a few months since I’ve done a Smash Up expansion review. Between the Christmas holidays and work stuff getting the way, it’s taken a while to get the required three plays in to review the first of the five new expansions I… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: Awesome Level 9000”
App Review – Epic Card Game
Edit: 3/5/20 – Multiplayer update again. The latest app update has extended the timer to 48 hours! Definitely appreciate them doing that. The game is still enjoyable and now that I realize just how much old stuff is in the replay when you log… Continue Reading “App Review – Epic Card Game”
