Review – Furnace
There’s something about chains in games that is just so cool, even though they burn my brain sometimes. I’m not talking about actual chains, of course. That would be terrible. Unless you’re into that sort of thing, in which case who am I to… Continue Reading “Review – Furnace”
Fantastic Factories – Storage Solution from Folded Space
There’s just something about a really neat storage solution for games. Sure, baggies are fine, and you can just turn the box upside down and drop a bunch of baggies onto the table for everybody to sort out. They work…ok. And it’s not the… Continue Reading “Fantastic Factories – Storage Solution from Folded Space”
Review – Claim
Two-player trick-taking games are odd ducks. I mean, not Cobra Chicken odd ducks. Nothing compares to them. But they are odd in their own way. They always have to have some kind of neat twist because otherwise it’s just two players laying down cards… Continue Reading “Review – Claim”
Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria – Storage Solution from Folded Space
It’s been a little while since I raved about the virtues of Folded Space boardgame inserts! I bought three of them at the same time back in December, but then only assembled the Guild Academies of Valeria one. However, I’ve now put together the… Continue Reading “Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria – Storage Solution from Folded Space”
Review – Empire’s End
I would make a bad emperor, I think. I’m not the quickest of thinkers, and when disasters happen (as they always seem to), sometimes you have to be quick on your feet, dealing with the situation at a moment’s notice. The perks would be… Continue Reading “Review – Empire’s End”
Review – Villages of Valeria
There’s a certain attraction to families of games out there, though it’s funny how there aren’t as many as you would think there are. When I say “families,” I’m speaking of games that are based in the same universe, though the mechanics and style… Continue Reading “Review – Villages of Valeria”
Kickstarter Review – Like Cain and Abel
I like card games a lot. Short, punchy 2-player card games are even better, as you don’t need a lot of time and they work in almost any circumstance. Even better is when they do some innovative things with the whole genre. Like Cain… Continue Reading “Kickstarter Review – Like Cain and Abel”
Review – Shipwrights of the North Sea – Redux
What do you do if you love ships but you’re afraid of being out on the water so you can’t actually go sailing? Especially if you’re a Viking? You get a job building them instead of sailing them! That’s the premise of Shipwrights of… Continue Reading “Review – Shipwrights of the North Sea – Redux”
Review – Underwater Cities
It would be cool to live on the ocean. Beachfront property, your back door opening right onto the beach, listening from your balcony to the ocean waves crash on the shore, watching the lightning from a storm out over the water. That would be… Continue Reading “Review – Underwater Cities”
