Review – Dual Powers: Revolution 1917
World War I and the Soviet takeover of Russia have always been fascinating historical topics for me. I’m a historian by education and desire, if not by trade. While I’m sure there have been some games that cover the Russian Revolution, Dual Powers: Revolution 1917… Continue Reading “Review – Dual Powers: Revolution 1917”
Stronghold Games Relaunches Kickstarter
Ok, they relaunch *their* Kickstarter… After all of the brouhaha three weeks ago (has it really been that long?), Stronghold Games is back on Kickstarter with Aftershock: San Francisco and Venice. They’ve retooled the campaign along with adding the subtitle to the name to… Continue Reading “Stronghold Games Relaunches Kickstarter”
Top 25 Games Played of All Time (5-1)

Top 25 Games Played of All Time (20-16)
As a relatively new board game blogger (less than 2 years, and just hitting 200 posts), I sometimes don’t feel right making “Top 10” lists.

Review – Sentient
The Robot Revolution is upon us. Soon, robots will be taking over our lives, providing us with every luxury, moving us around, serving us, fighting our wars, and all of that good stuff. And our economy will tank because nobody’s actually working. Then we’ll… Continue Reading “Review – Sentient”
Dual Powers – Revolution 2017 Kickstarter
(Edit – 12/20/19: The review is live!) I’m a big history buff, which is maybe why I love historical games so often. I’m sure it’s why I fell into wargames when I was a kid. (All pictures will be from the Kickstarter page) When… Continue Reading “Dual Powers – Revolution 2017 Kickstarter”

City of Gears (Designers: Daryl Andrews and Chris Leder; Artists: Anthony Cournoyer and… Continue Reading “City of Gears now on Kickstarter”
A Sequel to A Study in Emerald – the Game?
“Perfect timing” is something that we say a lot but sometimes it just fits. A couple of months ago, I bought a bunch of games, including one that a friend of mine had been wanting to try for a while. It looked truly interesting,… Continue Reading “A Sequel to A Study in Emerald – the Game?”
