The Fifth Season – Book Review
The Fifth Season is a fantasy story told via 3 storylines. Essun, a woman, Syenite, an apprentice orogene (Earth Mage), and Damaya, a young, feral orogene. The narrative for Essun is told in the second person perspective while the other storylines are written with the present tense. It’s a bit jarring, and is a choice that I didn’t really like, but it didn’t chase me away from the book.

I thought I would list out my favourite games to play with board game newbies.
Istanbul – Board Game Review
Every now and then a game comes along that becomes my obsession for a short period of time. Those obsessions eventually fade as the next game comes along to steal my attention, but rarely one manages to keep my heart and become a comfort game for me. Istanbul was one of the first games that managed to worm its way into my heart and become a seminal classic for me.
Arcs – Fortune Favours the Bold
I like having control. If you’re already familiar with Arcs by Cole Wherle and Leder Games, that should tell you how this review is going to go.
How to Make Money as a Board Game Content Creator
Every few months, the conversation comes up about "Paid Reviews", and there's generally a thread or two that gets fairly heated at the concept that some people out there are taking money from publishers in return for a good review. I've already laid out my thoughts on...
The Binding of Isaac: Four Souls – Board Game Review
The Binding of Isaac: Four Souls attempts to distill the essence of the roguelike genre into a deck of monster, loot, and treasure cards, while offering a multiplayer experience that diverges from its digital counterpart.
