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”
Review – Architects of the West Kingdom

App Review – Tides of Time
(Edit: 5/7/20 – I forgot to link to the review when I posted that they’ve updated the app. It’s still not awesome, but it’s not bad anymore. And it’s temporarily (as of this writing) free!) There’s something to be said for seeing ages and… Continue Reading “App Review – Tides of Time”
App Review – Mystic Vale
This year has been a big year for digital boardgames already, just two months in. (Editor – Not that you would have heard about it reading this blog) One game that’s sort of left over from last year, but just had the first expansion… Continue Reading “App Review – Mystic Vale”
Expansion Review – Smash Up: Oops, You Did It Again
What other game other than Smash Up would allow you to see what would happen if such varied things such as Cowboys, Monsters, and Teddy Bears got into a big fight? I think that’s one of the things I love about the game, even… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: Oops, You Did It Again”
Review – Mephisto
Are you somebody who would like to make a deal with a very scary demon in order to gain the ultimate power in the universe? If you are, please forget that you know me. However, if you would like to pretend that you are… Continue Reading “Review – Mephisto”
Review – DC Comics Deck-building Game
When I was growing up, I was a DC Comics fanboy. Sure, I followed some of the Marvel stuff too, but DC Comics was where it was at. I got my start with the 1980 version of Teen Titans written by Marv Wolfman with… Continue Reading “Review – DC Comics Deck-building Game”
