Flamme Rogue – Board Game Review
Creating the Top 100 Games of All Time list back in March highlighted how I've never really covered some of my favourite games. I'm slowly working through that backlog by creating a review as I play these games again. In Flamme Rogue by designer Asger Harding...
Picture Perfect – Board Game Review
Board game burnout has come up as a topic of conversation within my circles lately. A friend who has been out of the hobby for a few years recently asked, "What have been the new, fresh, must play games over the last 5 years? Games that are different and really do...
Massive Darkness – Board Game Review
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 Raphaël Guiton,...
The Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle-earth – Board Game review

I tell myself every holiday that I need to create a content calendar so that it's not October 28th and I'm suddenly looking for a Halloween game to review. One day I'll get my ducks in a row, but it's not this day. It also doesn't help that I'm not a big fan of the...
Port Royal – Board Game Review
I have a tenuous relationship with the games designed by Alexander Pfister. On one hand, I generally dislike Great Western Trail, Blackout Hong Kong, and Maracaibo. On the other hand, two of his co-designs, Broom Service, and Isle of Skye are some of my favourite...
