Flamecraft
I sometimes forget that Kickstarter isn't a thing that's as well known outside of the board game circles. Every now and again I mention that I saw a project on Kickstarter to a work colleague or a parent at the playground, and I often get a "what's a Kickstarter?"....
Concordia
I’ve often thought I’m very good for not judging a book by its cover. Some of my favourite books have the most boring covers, but I don't let that deter me! The Book of Flying by Keith Miller comes to mind specifically. The cover to that book has some porcelain...
Bag of Chips
Alright, this game is better than it has any right to be. At the very least, consider me charmed. Bag of Chips, designed by Mathieu Aubert and Théo Rivière and published by Blue Orange Games, looks like a literal bag of chips, a plastic/foil pouch with a resealable...
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...

At this point, trying to review a game like 2011's The Castles of Burgundy is kind of like trying to review a Toyota Corolla, or a pizza. Everyone already has their own experience and opinions have already been formed. The Castles of Burgundy is a staple of the board...
Wandering Towers
Right from the get-go, Wandering Towers sets a joyous tone. The Tall box art depicts a witch on a hill, holding her wand aloft, causing a stack of towers to rise from the earth below, as a woodland animals flee in bug-eyed horror. In Wandering Towers, you play as...
Dinosaur Tea Party
As a child, my sister and I would sometimes visit my aunt and uncle. They lived about 4 hours away, so it wasn't every weekend, but twice a year or more we'd make the trip over and spend a week there. We were about 10 years younger than my cousins, so there wasn't...
Sea Salt & Paper
Sea Salt & Paper is a card game that's about as clear as a foggy day on the open sea. It's brought to us by Bruno Cathala and Theo Riviere, and let me tell you, it's a game that's had me flip-flopping all over the place. Bruno Cathala should be a household name at...
