Talisman 5th Edition – App Review
I’ve always enjoyed the Talisman app from Nomad Games. They’ve done a brilliant job not only bringing this game to computers and mobile devices, but also including all of the expansions for it, including a digital-only expansion! The game of Talisman itself is a… Continue Reading “Talisman 5th Edition – App Review”
Sex, Candy, and Rock & Roll
In the 70s, I wonder how many kids wanted to grow up to be rock stars. I wasn’t one of them. While I am a child of the 70s, I wasn’t really listening to much rock music when I was growing up. My parents… Continue Reading “Sex, Candy, and Rock & Roll”

Upgrading is Evolutional – Doomlings Upgrade Pack Review
There’s nothing I enjoy quite like a nice lunchtime card game with co-workers to unwind after a long morning, not to mention resting up for a stressful afternoon.

The Apocalypse Will be in Technicolor
Post-apocalyptic games are all the rage, and Radlands is yet another entry into the increasingly-crowded genre. The question becomes, is it worthy of recognition in that genre and beyond? Radlands is a 2-player battling card game designed by Daniel Piechnick with artwork by Delia… Continue Reading “The Apocalypse Will be in Technicolor”
Travelling on 3 Cards a Day
I’ve never been to Japan. I hear it’s a fun place to visit, but that hasn’t been me yet. While Let’s Go to Japan will not give you the feel of travelling to Japan, it will give you the feeling of planning your trip!… Continue Reading “Travelling on 3 Cards a Day”
Evolving to the End of the World
There’s something to be said for cute, family-weight games. Sure, they aren’t always super-exciting, exercising your brain in the way that may keep it active until you’re 100 like some of the heavier games might. But they’re cute! Doomlings is definitely the cute, family-weight… Continue Reading “Evolving to the End of the World”
Putting Wood on the Biblical Fire
Reading the description of Ezra & Nehemiah when it first hit Kickstarter, I was intrigued. If you read this blog for more than just one or two posts, you know I’m a huge fan of Garphill Games and the games designed by Shem Phillips… Continue Reading “Putting Wood on the Biblical Fire”
Stealin’ & Robbin’ & Rollin’ Dice
What happens when you find a game that emulates some of the mechanics of one of your favourite games and then adds a bunch to it? Sometimes you look at it and say “nice try, but you’ll never be as good as my old… Continue Reading “Stealin’ & Robbin’ & Rollin’ Dice”
Ships That Pass in the Night – For Points!
Sometimes watching Youtube is dangerous. I’m not talking about when you look up “how to cook a S’More on the car fire that you happened upon on Highway 1.” That’s pretty dangerous and I don’t recommend it. No, I don’t speak from experience, why… Continue Reading “Ships That Pass in the Night – For Points!”
