Final Fantasy II
Following up on Final Fantasy I, I chose to move right into Final Fantasy II to see how much changed from game to game. Released just a year after it’s predecesor in 1988 (still before I was born), Final Fantasy II at its core retains very little from the first game. The leveling mechanics, the party construction, the magic system, everything was tweaked and changed.
Iota – Board Game Review
At the end of the day, IOTA offers a more cerebral experience than Qwirkle. The potential for huge turns is much higher, if you manage to play 3 cards in a turn, and complete a lot, doubling your score for the whole round. But it’s less satisfying to play.

A Little Wordy – Board Game Review
I've talked about a couple different word games on this blog. Mostly in the context Paperback and Paperback Adventures. Word games hold a special place in my heart, as my wife and I played a lot of Scrabble online when we were in a long distance relationship. My...
Re;Act: The Arts of War – Board Game Review
Re;Act: The Arts of War is a fast-paced, anime-inspired dueling game where clever card play and tight movement create high-stakes tactical showdowns. Its reaction chain system demands foresight, and each asymmetric character brings fresh challenges. Beautifully produced and deeply rewarding, it’s a must play for fans of head-to-head strategy who crave mastery over mayhem
