It’s Moving Through the Vents! – Final Girl – Into the Void Review
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
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
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
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
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
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”
Finding a Stranger in the Alps – Forest Shuffle – Alpine Expansion Review
(100,000 bonus points for anybody who gets the (kind of) movie reference in the title) I’ve been a fan of Forest Shuffle for quite a while, as you can tell from reading my review. This wonderful tableau-building game never really gets old and plays… Continue Reading “Finding a Stranger in the Alps – Forest Shuffle – Alpine Expansion Review”
Have Fun Storming the Castle! – Castle Combo Review
One of the really common things about our Sunday game days, unless we are playing a couple of really deep games that take too much time, is to have 30-45 minutes left after the main game and then trying to decide if we should… Continue Reading “Have Fun Storming the Castle! – Castle Combo Review”
Real-Time Heroes – 5 Minute Marvel Review
I’m not a huge fan of real-time games, mainly because my brain doesn’t make decisions that quickly and thus I often find myself behind everybody else. Cooperative games can be a little different, because everybody’s trying to help each other and you’re not competing… Continue Reading “Real-Time Heroes – 5 Minute Marvel Review”
Stop Stealing My Stuff! – Cover Your Assets review
Some people don’t like “take that” games, where you are actively trying to harm your opponent (not literally, of course, unless you’re playing a game in some action movie against a mad villain who has made this a kill or be killed situation). These… Continue Reading “Stop Stealing My Stuff! – Cover Your Assets review”
