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 ounce of unnecessary bloat. It’s a work of art and genius in game design, a triumph that deserves all the praise in the world. It’s just a shame that I don’t like playing it.

Games that are different and really do something that thing else has really done before?”
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, Jean-Baptiste Lullien, and Nicolas Raoult, and published by CMON.
The Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle-earth – Board Game review
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 the fact that my partner and I played it over and over when it first came out, and it was one of my very first board game reviews on this site! Then we got the Pantheon expansion, and played it even more, falling in love with the new dynamics the expansion brought to the game. I think in total, I have something like 50 plays of the game, making it one of my most played games of all time.
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, as it seems every game is simply gorgeous, but what can set a game away from the rest is a unique and whimsical theme.
