Rock Hard 1977 – Ear Candy – Coming in August 2026
This isn’t exactly “news,” because designer Jackie Fox has been talking about it for a while on Boardgame Geek. But hearing more detail (including a relative release date, which may have been announced before but it didn’t register in my brain) made me decide… Continue Reading “Rock Hard 1977 – Ear Candy – Coming in August 2026”
Have Fun Storming the Castle! – Doomlings-Castle Glass Bolster Pack Review
In a lot of card games where cards just keep getting issued and issued and issued and issued and… Oh, sorry. Thank you for that.

Dying on Strings – Final Girl – Carnage at the Carnival Review
As a kid, I was never really that fond of puppets. It’s not that they creeped me out, necessarily. They weren’t like clowns. I just never really went to puppet shows to be entertained, and Pinocchio was not one of my favourite Disney cartoons.… Continue Reading “Dying on Strings – Final Girl – Carnage at the Carnival Review”
Finding a Stranger in the Alps – Forest Shuffle – Alpine Expansion Review
(100,000 bonus points for anybody who gets the (kind of) movie reference in the title) I’ve been a fan of Forest Shuffle for quite a while, as you can tell from reading my review.

Civolution – Acceptance Letter expansion for Fall 2025
Long time no see, everybody! Sorry for the radio silence, but I’ve been moving computers and on vacation and just basically not in the mood to write for a while. But something cool coming up will always make me write something, and today I… Continue Reading “Civolution – Acceptance Letter expansion for Fall 2025”
Seeing the Northwest Sights – Cascadia: Landmarks Expansion Review
Having lived in the Pacific Northwest for over 25 years, I can definitely say that it’s one of the most beautiful areas on Earth, both on the US side and the Canadian side of the border. Cascadia brought that to life with beautiful tiles,… Continue Reading “Seeing the Northwest Sights – Cascadia: Landmarks Expansion Review”
Dune Imperium – Immortality Digital Expansion Coming Soon

Two posts in a day, but this one excites me and I’ve just had time to actually write it up after a few days. Hence… Continue Reading “Dune Imperium – Immortality Digital Expansion Coming Soon”
The Eternal Artifacts – Vale of Eternity: Artifacts Review
Sometimes game expansions add some much-needed variety to a game that enhances it, maybe fixing something that players have found wrong or missing in the base game. Other times, an expansion adds some unnecessary junk that makes a game more complicated or less enjoyable… Continue Reading “The Eternal Artifacts – Vale of Eternity: Artifacts Review”
