We are at it yet again with another Allplay board game review, and this is my most anticipated of the batch that Allplay sent over for us to look at. My wife and I love a good roll/flip and write game, and we also love games that utilize polyominoes. This can be ones you draw or ones you place – in this case, you’re drawing. We are taking a look at Mind Space! In Mind Space, players will be using…

Garden Geckos is the latest upcoming launch from Tin Robot Games. Can you score the most bugs in this cute title?

Settlers of Catan was a game I really loved back in the day, but have generally cooled on as more and more board games become available. I have a few issues with Settlers of Catan, but most of them revolve around either getting blocked by other players or just not getting the roles you need to win the game. Neither feels like something you can control, and when both happen at the same time, it can make for a really…

Over the past two months, our Star Wars: Shatterpoint table has been fairly quiet, but an influx of new boxes to review has got us back up and running. In this article, we are going to take a look at my most anticipated characters to be added into the game, the Ewoks! Let’s dive and see how the Yub Nub Squad Pack and the Ee Chee Wa Maa Squad Pack could help your squads going forward! First things first, however.…

We previously wrote about the crowd funding campaign for Meeple Inc., a board game where you make, well, board games! When we first saw and heard about the game the campaign on GameFound had yet to launch, but let’s revisit the game with seven days left to go in the campaign! This is not a sponsored post, just a follow up article to a game we are really excited about. The designer has let us know GamesReviews will receive a…

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…
