Millennium Blades
Way back in 2003 I picked up my first manga. The Monthly Shonen Jumps just started getting stocked at the local pharmacy and while my mom was looking over the newest set of romance novels that had just come in, the bright colours and exciting cover lured me in. I was...
Nyet!
If you've been following some of board games largest and best creators on social media, you may have noticed that trick taking games are enjoying a bit of a renaissance at the moment. With dozens of fascinating games appearing, all with their own interesting spins on...
Castles of Mad King Ludwig
I feel like everywhere I look, people are expressing their distress at tha amount of stuff we all have. Our kitchen counters are full of air fryers, coffee machines, and tea kettles, our drawers are overflowing with knickknacks, and our board game shelves are buckling...
Voidfall – First Impressions

The Castles of Burgundy: The Dice Game
It's 15th century France, the Loire valley. As influential nobles, you do your best to lead your duchies to prosperity through careful trade and - stop. Let's be real. No one actually cares about the theme of a game that's as generic and overplayed as The Castles of...
The Castles of Burgundy: The Card Game
I was so excited when The Castles of Burgundy: The Card Game was announced. It was fairly early on in my board game hobby, and I was seriously in love with the original The Castles of Burgundy. I was expecting a bite-sized version of the popular board game, Something...
