Expansion Review – Smash Up World Tour: Culture Shock

Once again I happen to be current in regards to having new Smash Up expansions! Even though this review is four months after my last expansion review (blame Abomination: Heir of Frankenstein for that one, since it held up my pre-order for two whole months!) Makes… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up World Tour: Culture Shock”

New to Me – November 2019

It’s December! The last month of the year, the Christmas (or whatever end-of-year holiday you celebrate) season is upon us, but before we look forward to all of those presents sitting under the tree (or sitting under whatever your end-of-year holiday object is), it’s… Continue Reading “New to Me – November 2019”

The Barracks Emperors from GMT Games

(Edit – 8/29/20) – This has now made the cut! Good to hear this will begin production soon. In another quest to get a cool-looking GMT game over the P500 hump, I have to write about The Barracks Emperors. For those of you who… Continue Reading “The Barracks Emperors from GMT Games”

Review – Fantasy Realms

Sometimes for dinner you just want a big, juicy steak grilled to perfection with a mashed potato, something that you can savor for a long time while you’re enjoying good company and a glass of wine. And sometimes you just want a few White… Continue Reading “Review – Fantasy Realms”

New to Me – October 2019

October was SHUX month. SHUX is a 3-day boardgame convention in Vancouver that was simply phenomenal. I had so much fun, and would have had even more fun if I hadn’t felt so terrible. Maybe next year! You know what conventions mean, right? No,… Continue Reading “New to Me – October 2019”

Fox in the Forest Duet – Coming From Renegade Games Studios & Foxtrot Games

I’m a big fan of the 2-player trick-taking game The Fox in the Forest, published by Foxtrot Games and Renegade Games. It’s a really interesting to see a game like that work well with 2 players (though I am aware since that review that… Continue Reading “Fox in the Forest Duet – Coming From Renegade Games Studios & Foxtrot Games”

Expansion Review – Smash Up: That 70s Expansion

Another day (ok, month), another Smash Up expansion. You’d think that was all I played. Granted, it does get played twice a month because of a regular workplace get-together, but I do play more games than that! With two expansions a year, there doesn’t… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: That 70s Expansion”

New to Me – July 2019

July was vacation month. I was off the entire month and was away from my normal game group for half of the month. Thus, it’s not surprising that I only played two “new to me” games in July. But tell that to the rabble… Continue Reading “New to Me – July 2019”

World Tour: Culture Shock Coming Soon

I can’t believe I missed this. This blog could almost be called the Smash Up blog (especially after last week’s review of the first World Tour expansion) but yet somehow this news escaped me. Yes, I already knew (and probably mentioned) that the next World… Continue Reading “World Tour: Culture Shock Coming Soon”

Expansion Review – Smash Up: International Incident

It’s hard to quantify just how much enjoyment Smash Up has given to me, especially in the middle of a long work day when it’s just fun to sit down with two co-workers and try (and usually fail) to kick their asses. In a… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: International Incident”
