Expeditions – Board Game Review
Expeditions by Jamey Stegmaier, released in 2023 debuted as the sequel to 2016's Scythe, which is fairly high on my favourite games of all time list at number 16. While visually very similar to Scythe, the gameplay in Expeditions is quite different, and I think it's...
Shogun – Board Game Review
I'm going to be honest with you, friends. I may be an adult, but inside I'm basically a big kid. My affection is easily won with trinkets and sweets. I do not have sophisticated tastes, rather, I yearn for simplicity. In my spare time, I just want to play with my...
Arcs: The Blighted Reach Expansion – Board Game Review
I'm going to begin with the conclusion. Arcs is a masterpiece. It's a game bursting with so much variety, discovery, and depth, all crafted meticulously by designer Cole Wehrle. Every mechanic feels intentional, every element serves a greater purpose, there isn't an...

Way back in mid 2016 I was in this precarious position of really falling deep into the hobby. My awareness of Kickstarter was ramping up dramatically, and the game that was generating a ton of buzz at that moment was Massive Darkness, designed by Raphaƫl Guiton,...
The Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle-earth
I also joined The Omnigamers Club on their podcast to talk about The Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle Earth. Available on all podcatchers and on YouTube! I love 7 Wonders Duel, much more than the full 7 player game. In fact, it's one of my most played games due to...
Trolls and Princesses – Board Game Review
When it comes to getting excited about games, there aren't many instances anymore where there's some radical new mechanic that grabs my attention. What ends up capturing my attention is theme and aesthetic. Gorgeous artwork really isn't enough all on its own anymore,...
Fromage – Board Game Review
The photos in this review were provided by the publisher, Road to Infamy Games Cheese! Who doesn't like cheese? The lactose intolerant, I suppose. But even then, the few friends of mine who have issues with lactose still enjoy cheese, even though it causes them pain...
