The Binding of Isaac: Four Souls – Board Game Review
A complimentary copy of The Binding of Isaac: Four Souls was provided by the publisher for the purposes of review I am a big fan of the Roguelike video game genre, and while I'm not a huge fan of The Binding of Isaac specifically, it's been impossible for me to ignore...
Isle of Trains: All Aboard – Board Game Review
Not many games do this very well, but one of the mechanics that I absolutely adore is positive player interaction. When someone does a thing, and everyone benefits. Concordia does this incredibly well, a couple birds in Wingspan benefit all players, but give extra...
Verdant – Board Game Review
Growing up, we joked that my mom not only had a 'black thumb', but a black aura. That any houseplant that came into our home was destined to die. This may be because she was a single mother raising 3 kids, or because we grew up in frigid northern Manitoba, but in any...
