Review – Shards of Infinity

There’s something to be said for a nice, simple deck-building card game that you can knock out in 15-20 minutes (maybe 30 if you’re unlucky). These games are perfect for a couple of games at lunch with co-workers, or maybe as a way to… Continue Reading “Review – Shards of Infinity”

Boardgame Geek Top 200 – Play or Played – #150-141

New to Me – October 2020

What is this? A “New to Me Games” post? This is the first since August! So basically skipping September. That’s what COVID has done to us. It’s not for lack of trying, but I have been so “not in the mood” to play games… Continue Reading “New to Me – October 2020”

Boardgame Geek Top 200 – Play or Played – #160-151

Another week, another “wow, I haven’t played many games” post. It’s almost like I’m failing as a “gamer”. Is that possible? Should I really feel bad that I haven’t played a bunch of games?

The OP & AEG Announce New Marvel Smash Up Factions

Even after all of this time, I’m still kind of on the fence regarding the idea of Alderac Entertainment Group and the OP teaming up to do an officially licensed Smash Up expansion. The idea is cool, and I’m sure the execution will be there,… Continue Reading “The OP & AEG Announce New Marvel Smash Up Factions”

Expansion Review – Smash Up: Monster Smash

Wow, two Smash Up expansion reviews in two weeks? After a months-long hiatus? What can that mean? It means that I’ve been combining new expansions while playing them for review. What, did you think I meant global annihilation or something like that? Let’s save that… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Smash Up: Monster Smash”
