Zoo Vadis – Board Game Review
Quo Vadis was a 1992 game about 'politics and intrigue in ancient Rome', and boy. Does it look like a game from 1992. A flat marble texture on the front, faded stock image of people in white robes, and a graphic design that looks like it was created directly in...
Mountain Goats: Big Mountain – Board Game Review
A copy of Mountain Goats and The Big Mountain expansion was provided by AllPlay for review purposes. The last time I talked about Mountain Goats, I framed it in comparison to Can't Stop. On the surface that comparison makes sense, both games involve rolling four dice...
Rebel Princess – Board Game Review
Let me start by saying that I adore the theme of Rebel Princess. Classic fairy-tale princesses have generally always been trapped in a fairly grim narrative box. No matter how brave, clever, or capable they are, their ultimate “win condition” tends to be the same: get...
Perch – Board Game Review
Disclaimer: A copy of Perch was provided by Inside Up Games for review Hey, do you want to play that bird game? No, not Wingspan, the other one! The area control game! No, not Root, the one with just birds! Right off the bat, the cover art of Perch sets a tone. At...
Tearable Quest – Board Game Review
Once upon a time, I was learning about the difference between lived experiences and observed experiences. The teacher split the class in half. One group sat back and recorded what they saw, while the other group had to run up a staircase, breathing only through a...
3 Witches – Board Game Review
Disclaimer - A copy of 3 Witches was provided by the designer One of the things I love about trick-taking games is how effortlessly they get to the table. You generally get a deck of cards and deal most if not all the cards out. The teach is usually something along...
7 Wonders Dice – Board Game Review
Disclaimer: This review is based on plays of 7 Wonders Dice on Board Game Arena. Ah, the roll and write. First comes a successful board game. Then comes the card game version. Then comes the roll and write cash in. 7 Wonders is no different, albeit it's taken quite a...
Beyond the Sun – Board Game Review
Growing up, I was a console gamer. I didn't really have a game-worthy PC until after 2010, meaning I skipped over a lot of the old PC favourites, one important one being the Civilization franchise. That is to say, tech trees are not a part of my gaming background. I'm...
Schotten Totten – Board Game Review
I adore Lost Cities. It's the perfect 2 player game for my wife and I. Competitive without being directly mean, random enough to make your risks feel like you've hit the lottery if you win, but also don't really feel too bad if they don't pan out, and I end up with a...
