Making Everybody Hate You – The Prodigals Club Review

The Prodigals Club - Modules

Anybody who has followed this blog for any length of time knows that The Prodigals Club is one of my favourite games. So this review may be a bit superfluous. However, I’ve never really talked in detail about the game, so why don’t we… Continue Reading “Making Everybody Hate You – The Prodigals Club Review”

Have Fun Storming the Castle! – Doomlings-Castle Glass Bolster Pack Review

Doomlings - Castle Glass - Traits

In a lot of card games where cards just keep getting issued and issued and issued and issued and… Oh, sorry. Thank you for that. Anyway, in a lot of card games that keep getting cards added to them, it’s not always that you… Continue Reading “Have Fun Storming the Castle! – Doomlings-Castle Glass Bolster Pack Review”

Creating a World From Scratch – Ecos: First Continent Review

Ecos: First Continent - World

There was a farmer had a dog and Ecos was his name-o. E..C..O..S….Uh, Mr. Clair? We need another letter please? Thank you. Why do I reference this old children’s song? Are you a fan of Bingo but think you need something a bit more… Continue Reading “Creating a World From Scratch – Ecos: First Continent Review”

Evolving in the Shadows – Doomlings- Shadow Puppets Bolster Pack Review

Card games, when given a bunch of expansions, can inevitably suffer from that bloat of having a deck of cards so massive that even God himself could not shuffle it. Doomlings is getting to that point, but the good thing about this game is… Continue Reading “Evolving in the Shadows – Doomlings- Shadow Puppets Bolster Pack Review”

It’s Moving Through the Vents! – Final Girl – Into the Void Review

Final Girl - Into the Void - USS Konrad without any pieces on it

One of the classic horror movie franchises is the Alien series, or at least the first one. The second one, I would almost count as an intense action movie with some horror elements. And then things got silly. Anyway, it’s not surprising that the… Continue Reading “It’s Moving Through the Vents! – Final Girl – Into the Void Review”

Dying on Strings – Final Girl – Carnage at the Carnival Review

Final Girl - Carnage at the Carnival - Multiple Puppets

As a kid, I was never really that fond of puppets. It’s not that they creeped me out, necessarily. They weren’t like clowns. I just never really went to puppet shows to be entertained, and Pinocchio was not one of my favourite Disney cartoons.… Continue Reading “Dying on Strings – Final Girl – Carnage at the Carnival Review”

Finding the Aliens Among Us – SETI Review

SETI - Solar System

Action selection games usually don’t have a lot of theme to them, at least as far as the actions you are selecting from. Usually it’s like “oh, I select this noble to do this thing, and oh, supposedly I’m building some part of this… Continue Reading “Finding the Aliens Among Us – SETI Review”

Gambling With Success – The Gang Review

The Gang - Muscle

Poker can be a really hardcore game, and quite cutthroat too. Bluffing your opponents into thinking you have an unbeatable hand when you have nothing but crap is a mainstay of the game. Why is he betting so much on that flop? But what… Continue Reading “Gambling With Success – The Gang Review”

Living on the Edge – Forest Shuffle – Woodland Edge Expansion Review

Forest Shuffle - Woodland Edge - Full Shrub

I want to say that the Alpine expansion for Forest Shuffle was the first one, but I’m not 100% sure. That one (as I mentioned in my review) helped by adding a few different cards that mitigated some other favoured strategies in the base… Continue Reading “Living on the Edge – Forest Shuffle – Woodland Edge Expansion Review”

He Comes For You in Your Nightmares – Final Girl – Frightmare on Maple Lane Review

Final Girl - Frightmare on Maple Lane - Dr. Fright

Nightmare on Elm Street was one of the few horror movies I could really stomach as a teenager (I’m not really a fan of horror movies, especially with jump scares and the like). There was just something about Freddy Krueger that was cool, plus… Continue Reading “He Comes For You in Your Nightmares – Final Girl – Frightmare on Maple Lane Review”
