Review – Fire in the Library
I’m a pretty big fan of push your luck games. Hell, I play tons of games of Can’t Stop on Boardgame Arena, even though it’s not an awesome asynchronous game. I just can’t get enough with pushing my luck! I’m also a bibliophile. I… Continue Reading “Review – Fire in the Library”
Expansion Review – Smash Up: Excellent Movies, Dudes!
Hey there, it’s been a while! I mean, it’s been a while since you’ve seen a Smash Up review from me, not since you’ve seen anything from me. Unless you haven’t been visiting this blog at all, in which case I am now sad.… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: Excellent Movies, Dudes!”
App Review – Dominion (Steam)
(Edit: 1/25/24: Update on pricing, from Temple Gates Games. The expansion bundle is $99.99 USD on Apple/Google. On Steam it’s a ‘complete-the-set’ bundle with a 15% discount. Later on in the expansion, you could buy individual expansions, apparently (after I stopped playing) and thus… Continue Reading “App Review – Dominion (Steam)”
Expansion Review – Ark Nova: Marine Worlds
One of my favourite games out there is Ark Nova. For some reason it just scratches a whole bunch of itches (ok, maybe that came out wrong) and I really enjoy playing it. I’m in 2-3 games of it on Boardgame Arena and I’ll… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Ark Nova: Marine Worlds”
Review – Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria
Who knew being evil could be so much fun? There aren’t a whole lot of boardgames where you are playing the bad guy (unless you’re in a one vs many game). A well-respected one that I’d love to play sometime is Dungeon Lords from… Continue Reading “Review – Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria”
App Expansion Review – Wingspan: Oceania
Did you know that birds aren’t real? But for some reason, game designer Elizabeth Hargrave continues to try and convince us that they are! In 2020, Hargrave and publisher Stonemaier Games released the second expansion to the excellent Wingspan game, still one of my… Continue Reading “App Expansion Review – Wingspan: Oceania”
Review – Scholars of the South Tigris
If you’ve been following this blog for more than a fortnight, then you know that I’m a big fan of many Garphill games, especially those designed by Shem Phillips and S J MacDonald. They seem to be a fan of trilogies, with the North… Continue Reading “Review – Scholars of the South Tigris”
App Review – Early Access – Dune: Imperium
(Edit: 3/12/24) – It’s out of Early Access, and available on iOS/Android as well! One of the biggest games of 2020, hitting during the pandemic lockdowns but still going strong, was Dune: Imperium from Dire Wolf Digital. It was just phenomenally well-received, so much… Continue Reading “App Review – Early Access – Dune: Imperium”
People Power – Storage Solution From Rails on Boards
It’s time for another in a series of reviews of storage tray solutions from Rails on Boards/Cube4Me, as they endeavour to corner the market on these plastic trays. I even have a bunch of GMT counter trays that I haven’t used because of this!… Continue Reading “People Power – Storage Solution From Rails on Boards”
