App Expansion Review – Talisman Origins – Beyond the Veil
Talisman and Talisman: Origins are two of the really great digital board game adaptions. The former because it looks so tedious on the table but in digital form you can start a game, go for a while, then turn it off and come back to it.… Continue Reading “App Expansion Review – Talisman Origins – Beyond the Veil”
App Expansion Review – Talisman: The Clockwork Kingdom
I’ve done a couple of reviews now for Talisman: Origins and one of its expansions, but there’s also a new digital-only expansion out for the base Talisman game as well.

These titles included Cat Lady (recently released this month during my blog hiatus), Space Base (an awesome game), and the card-crafting game Mystic Vale. Imagine my surprise when I heard… Continue Reading “Mystic Vale Grows onto Steam – Early Access”
Smash Up Arrives on Digital – Extremely First Impressions
I’ve become a fan of the Smash Up card game, where you combine two different factions (Zombie Dinosaurs!!!!) into a deck of cards and try to reach 15 victory points by “breaking” bases before anybody else does. You do this by playing minions there… Continue Reading “Smash Up Arrives on Digital – Extremely First Impressions”
Boardgames That Work Better as Apps
In some of my social media postings, I have mentioned that Potion Explosion worked better for me in app form because it was too fiddly on the table. This brings to mind something that I’ve thought about quite a bit. What other board games have… Continue Reading “Boardgames That Work Better as Apps”
