You Got Your Cubes in My Gene Pool! – App Expansion Review – Dune Imperium: Immortality
(This is a review of both the expansion and the app version of it) The Dune Imperium games are very highly regarded, with the base game sitting at number 6 on Boardgame Geek and Dune Imperium: Uprising currently at number 11. That’s some positive… Continue Reading “You Got Your Cubes in My Gene Pool! – App Expansion Review – Dune Imperium: Immortality”
Digital Animals! – Ark Nova App Review
This is kind of a first for Dude Take Your Turn. Which is weird, because after 8 years, you’d think there wouldn’t be an opportunity for a first! In this case, I’m doing a review of a boardgame app where I’ve already reviewed the… Continue Reading “Digital Animals! – Ark Nova App Review”
He Just Keeps Coming – Final Girl (and Happy Trail Horrors) Review
I’ve never been a fan of horror films. They’re inherently silly and, yes, kinda scary at the same time. I’m not big on feeling fear at the movies and jump scares just annoy me (and startle me, yes). For some reason, though, horror tropes… Continue Reading “He Just Keeps Coming – Final Girl (and Happy Trail Horrors) Review”
Winging Your Way Through Asian Skies – Wingspan – Asia Expansion App Review
Do you think Monster Couch is now satisfied? They are the developer of the app version of the very well-regarded tableau-building card game, Wingspan. They have now released the final available expansion for Wingspan, Wingspan Asia, so they are caught up with the board… Continue Reading “Winging Your Way Through Asian Skies – Wingspan – Asia Expansion App Review”
Seeing the Northwest Sights – Cascadia: Landmarks Expansion Review
Having lived in the Pacific Northwest for over 25 years, I can definitely say that it’s one of the most beautiful areas on Earth, both on the US side and the Canadian side of the border. Cascadia brought that to life with beautiful tiles,… Continue Reading “Seeing the Northwest Sights – Cascadia: Landmarks Expansion Review”
The Glory of Misfortune – Schadenfreude Review
You would think with how much I talk up some games on this blog that sometimes I might want to actually submit a formal review of them, right? I mean, I don’t want them to feel bad and left out. It’s like singing the… Continue Reading “The Glory of Misfortune – Schadenfreude Review”
I Predict That I Will Not Win This Game – Seven Prophecies Review
Another day, another trick-taking card game. What are the odds? These days, trick-taking games need some kind of hook to avoid being boring trash. Yeah, I know I’m repeating myself. But it must be emphasized! We’re in the middle of a trick-taking renaissance (thanks,… Continue Reading “I Predict That I Will Not Win This Game – Seven Prophecies Review”
Clank Under the Sea – Clank: Sunken Treasures app expansion review
I keep saying this, but Dire Wolf Digital is putting out some amazing boardgame apps, even though sometimes a new app has a couple of faults that were present (and fixed) in previous apps, so I’m not sure what’s going on there. They do… Continue Reading “Clank Under the Sea – Clank: Sunken Treasures app expansion review”
The Eternal Artifacts – Vale of Eternity: Artifacts Review
Sometimes game expansions add some much-needed variety to a game that enhances it, maybe fixing something that players have found wrong or missing in the base game. Other times, an expansion adds some unnecessary junk that makes a game more complicated or less enjoyable… Continue Reading “The Eternal Artifacts – Vale of Eternity: Artifacts Review”
The Beauty of Northwest Tiles – Cascadia App Review
(this is going to be a review of both the game and the app, since I’ve played the tabletop game a bunch too) There’s something peaceful about a good tile-laying game where everybody is creating their own habitat for God’s natural wonders, both flora… Continue Reading “The Beauty of Northwest Tiles – Cascadia App Review”
