Hoplomachus: Remastered & Pandora’s Wake Expansion Review
Everything about it feels refined, and by boiling it down with the new graphic design Chip Theory have extracted the essence of what makes a good skirmish game.
Puzzle Post – The Disappearance
The acid test for me when it comes to these games where you want to feel immersion in a mystery is how realistic the things included seem. The Disappearance nails it.
Finspan Review
Whether you're sick of -span games or not, Finspan is here, and you know what? It's good.
Rebirth Review
Three years ago I wrote a post about whether Reiner Knizia could stay relevant as a modern designe. I should have known better than to doubt him.
Tenpenny Parks Review
My chosen board game world is one of muted beige and dry themes, so Tenpenny Parks stands out like a neon helter-skelter in the middle of it. I love it for that.
Battalion: War Of The Ancients Review
Battalion is a game which masquerades as a wargame, has all the theme and trappings of a war game, but plays more like an asymmetric dueling card game.
Ironwood Review
The struggle between nature and progress is delivered beautifully in the best two-player board game I've played in a long time.
The Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle-earth Review
You can keep your Marvel and Cthulhu cash-ins, it does nothing for me. Yet here I am singing the praises of a game I love that's wearing Tolkien's fantasy garb.
Orbit Preview
Did you know there are only a few mammals in the world that lay eggs. They're called monotremes. One member of the monotreme family is the short-beaked echidna. Orbit is a game about tourists in space.
