Expansion Review – Smash Up: That 70s Expansion
Another day (ok, month), another Smash Up expansion. You’d think that was all I played. Granted, it does get played twice a month because of a regular workplace get-together, but I do play more games than that! With two expansions a year, there doesn’t… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: That 70s Expansion”
Review – Deus
Some days you just want to stay in bed. And some days, you want to go out and conquer a bunch of hexagonal-shaped tiles with a bunch of barbarians on them before some other conquering civilization does. Because you snooze, you lose, know what… Continue Reading “Review – Deus”
Expansion Review – Smash Up: International Incident
It’s hard to quantify just how much enjoyment Smash Up has given to me, especially in the middle of a long work day when it’s just fun to sit down with two co-workers and try (and usually fail) to kick their asses. In a… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: International Incident”
App Review – Fort Sumter
When news hit a month or so ago that the wonderful 2-player game Fort Sumter was coming to digital via Playdek, I was…well, let’s just say excited and leave it at that (I don’t want to be embarrassed). Now that day has finally arrived,… Continue Reading “App Review – Fort Sumter”

Expansion Review – Clank in Space: Apocalypse
Clank in Space is one of my favourite games. As you would know if you read my Top 25 Games Played of All Time! While it certainly didn’t need anything additional added to it, there is always room for more cool cards and concepts,… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Clank in Space: Apocalypse”
Review – Dual Powers: Revolution 1917
World War I and the Soviet takeover of Russia have always been fascinating historical topics for me. I’m a historian by education and desire, if not by trade. While I’m sure there have been some games that cover the Russian Revolution, Dual Powers: Revolution 1917… Continue Reading “Review – Dual Powers: Revolution 1917”
Review – Space Base
(Edit: This is one of my Top 25 Games Played of all Time, as of February 2019 anyway. Check out the other games as well!) When I watch science fiction films, with spaceships dashing hither and yon (I think yon is about 100 parsecs… Continue Reading “Review – Space Base”
Review – 13 Days: The Cuban Missile Crisis
The early 1960s were a different time. The chaos in American society over the war in Vietnam hadn’t really started yet. Protests and radicalism weren’t prominent like they became later in the decade. The Cold War, however, was definitely a thing and it was… Continue Reading “Review – 13 Days: The Cuban Missile Crisis”
