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

Star Wars Unlimited and GameGenic – A Match Made in Heaven
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 ...
Read More7 Wonders Architects – Medals Expansion Unboxing and Components Review
There are going to be two groups of people when it comes to the first expansion for 7 Wonders Architects – those who are happy to have more content, and those who wish this expansion was doing more. This is not a review of the actual gameplay, just the production quality, so we will save that discussion for later, but let’s jump in and see what this game has in the box! Frankly, there isn’t a ton to 7 Wonders…

Read MoreCastles of Burgundy Special Edition Was Done Right
I'm firmly in the camp that not all good and classic board games need to have a Special Edition. Far too often we see overproduce special edition games that, while look pretty, are prohibitably expensive and don't really have universal appeal to longtime fans and new players alike. Think, for example, of the 3D Settlers of Catan releases. Beautiful, yes! Practical? Not at all. Accessible to the wider gaming audience? Nope. Castles of Burgundy hits very ...
Read MoreHarmonies Coming from Studio Libellud via Asmodee
"Harmonies is not just any game. Yes, you will draw tiles and compete with your opponents to create the best combinations... But the experience goes much further. Because Harmonies is a real ode to nature, to the balance between fauna and flora. It doesn't play on rivalry between species and essence, predation, or the will to power but on the necessity of harmony among all elements of an ecosystem."
Read MoreWhy I Don’t Review Games on Board Game Arena
Here at GamesReviews we get approached more and more often by publishers and developers to check out their games and give our impressions of them. With board games, the process of doing a review is a lot more involved than it is with a video game. You have to wait for the game to be shipped to you, wait for your next game night, play it a few times over a few weeks, before even beginning the process of writing a review. With video games, it's generally a very ...
Read MoreThe Lord of the Rings 5e – Role playing in Middle Earth?
I’ve never been a huge Dungeons and Dragons fan, nor have I played many 5e RPG experiences. Why? Honestly, perhaps it is a lack of imagination, or a lack of desire to play something I’m not really familiar with. I’m sure I’m missing out on a great time, but it’s really how I feel. When Free League Publishing reached out and offered us the chance to try out the Lord of the Rings RPG, I was instantly intrigued. I love…
