With only one week to go, your chances to back Ostia Pirates is slowly fading away. Listen folks, take it from me, if you want to pick up a game from UCHIBACOYA you do not want to wait. These games generally will not hit retaliers in the West, and I've already disappointed myself by missing out on their games multiple times. Yes, the price might be a bit concerning, but these are games that hold their value and will be something you are happy to have in your ...

To say that Allplay games are lots of fun in one small box would be an understatement. We have played through a few games that Allplay sent over for review, and every one of them has been a hit with someone in one way or another. Bacon happens to be one of those games, and although it’s a bit on the lighter side, it still packs a ton of fun into and easily explained, quick to play experience! In Bacon,…

With the upcoming big box store launch of Disney Lorcana: Into the Inklands, I wanted to quickly jot down a few thoughts about the latest release for the Trading Card Game. Things get a big change with Into the Inklands with the release of locations, and I think it’s a really good thing for the game. Let’s dive in and chat about whether this release is worth picking up and adding to your decks! The big change this time around…

Last week, Asmodee Canada and Fantasy Flight Games sent over a huge box of Star Wars: Unlimited products including the 2-Player Starter Set, 3 Booster Packs, Two Deck Boxes, playmats and more. We will talk about the GameGenic products in a separate article, but rest assured, even the cheaper GameGenic boxes and sleeves are a fantastic quality – the price-for-product ratio is fantastic in my opinion. But today, it’s about Star Wars: Unlimited – and ...

When Star Trek: Away Missions landed at my office for review, I was surprised by how hefty the box felt. From the videos and images I had seen, it didn’t seem like much more than some cardboard and miniatures, but I quickly realized there is a lot more going on in the box than just that! Using a popular license like Star Trek is often an excuse for a company to skimp on components and quality. Is that something Gale…

Scythe is one of the greatest and most popular games of the century so far, and that along with Wingspan has made Stonemaier Games a household name in the board game space. We recently had the opportunity to look at the “sequel to Scythe,” Expeditions, which we are pretty fond of? Is this the game to remove Scythe from your collection, or does it fall just short of the original experience? Let’s dive in! The first thing we should mention…

Shenzhen, February 28, 2024 — OnePlus, a global tech brand, in partnership with acclaimed global interactive entertainment brand HoYoverse, today launched the OnePlus 12R Genshin Impact Edition during MWC. This special edition smartphone is tailor-made for the ardent fans of the blockbuster game, Genshin Impact, offering an unmatched gaming experience with its cutting-edge technology and exclusive design elements inspired by the character Keqing. The ...

I love playing Trading Card Games (CCGs) but sometimes I’d rather play with more people than just one other person. We have attempted to play games of Disney Lorcana over the past six months with little success. It just doesn’t work. As I’ve watched Fantasy Flight Games show off their Twin Suns multiplayer mode, I’m very excited for a gameplay system that seems like it will work with more than 2 players! There are a bunch of changes to the…

Let's take a look at Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope many, many months after release. Why did it do so poorly?

GameGenic is making some of the best components for Collectable Card Games (CCGs) and their most recent partnership with Star Wars Unlimited has me very excited. I love branded products for CCGs – the deck boxes and card sleeves for Disney Lorcana, for example, aren’t the greatest things I’ve ever used, but I like them none-the-less. Thing is, while Ravensburger has attempted to do everything in house – and have done an adequate job – Fantasy ...
