App Review – Burgle Bros
You know what they say: the family that steals together, stays together. I think I’ve heard that, anyway. Maybe we’ll find out in the app version of the great board game from Tim Fowers, Burgle Bros. Ok, maybe the characters in the game are… Continue Reading “App Review – Burgle Bros”
Review – No Thanks
I have fond memories of playing cards on Christmas Eve down at Grandma’s house. The Roy family would gather there, open their presents, have a lovely dinner, and then a bunch of us would get around the table and play cards. Usually Push Rummy… Continue Reading “Review – No Thanks”
Review – Würfel Bohnanza
There’s something to be said for a really good filler game, one that can be really short or longer if you have the time, but it doesn’t take much energy or too much thought. There’s also something to be said for a good dice… Continue Reading “Review – Würfel Bohnanza”
Friday – App Review
Most of the time when boardgame apps are done on mobile, there is an announcement that it’s coming. Recently, Friday dropped onto the App Store with no warning whatsoever (and a couple of key bugs too, which have now been fixed). This Friedmann Friese classic… Continue Reading “Friday – App Review”
Review: Valley of the Kings – Afterlife
I didn’t realize this until just now, but I seem to have a thing for Ancient Egypt. Nothing too untoward, don’t get me wrong. But with my love of the (soon to be reviewed) Imhotep and for Favor of the Pharaoh, and now this… Continue Reading “Review: Valley of the Kings – Afterlife”
Review – San Juan (2nd Edition)
There’s nothing like the Caribbean sun, I’m sure (I’ve never been down there, unfortunately). I know it gets really hot down there, especially when you’re working out in the streets or in the fields, building markets or working the indigo plants. Maybe you are… Continue Reading “Review – San Juan (2nd Edition)”
Onirim – App review
Onirim is a card game that apparently can be played with two players but is essentially a solo player game. I had never heard of it until Asmodee Digital announced that it was coming to mobile devices and that it was going to be… Continue Reading “Onirim – App review”
Review – Biblios
I love books. Books make me happy. The feel of the paper as you turn the pages. The new book smell. The tap of your finger on the screen as you go to the next page… Wait, what? Anyway, books are awesome. I can… Continue Reading “Review – Biblios”
Review – Epic Spell Wars: Duel at Mt. Skullzfyre
Apparently, being a wizard isn’t all the fun and games that our good friend Mr. Potter has shown us. Sure, he had to face off and defeat He Who Shall Not Be Named, but he managed to do so while not using one bad… Continue Reading “Review – Epic Spell Wars: Duel at Mt. Skullzfyre”
Race for the Galaxy app is real – and it’s Marvelous
As promised (and this is so rare in the boardgame App world!), Race for the Galaxy came out for iOS and Android on May 3. Released by Temple Gates Games, this app is probably a new benchmark in digital board game development. It’s pretty,… Continue Reading “Race for the Galaxy app is real – and it’s Marvelous”
