There are few games as unique as Apiary – who else but Stonemaier Games would publish a game about space bees! I love worker placement games, and Stonemaier does them just about as good as anyone else. Viticulture is one of my favorite games of all time! I had really high hopes for Apiary when I saw Jamey Stagemier showing off some of the components and systems in some of his videos, and honestly, the game did not disappoint. I…

Apiary is one of the more interesting titles to come from Stonemaier Games in my opinion. All Stonemaier products are fantastic, but something about Apiary had me really excited to get it out of the box the second it arrived. Let’s take a look at what comes in the box! There is a bit of punching required before your first game, but the pieces punch really easily and also have fantastic places for storage in the awesome insert included in…

Maul Peak is giving me video games vibes, and I’m not sure why. It might be the concept of taking down a big monster, who knows. What I do know, however, is that I’m terrible at the game, but that doesn’t stop me from really enjoying it each time it comes to the table. As a follow-up to Shulk Hollow (and they can be combined) it’s doing a lot of interesting and different things to make a second journey down…

Recently, Fantasy Flight Game sent over two of their Living Card Games (LCGs), Marvel Champions and Lord of the Rings: The Card Game. While both fit into that LCG space, they are both very different experiences. We have already written about Marvel Champions in our first impressions article here , but I wanted to get my first impressions of Lord of the Rings up as quickly as possible. For many, myself included, you might assume that most Living Card Games…

It’s not often I dip my toes into a really heavy euro style game, but as a lifetime Zoo Tycoon fan, I didn’t feel like I could pass up on this board game version. GamesReviews purchased this copy for me via the Kickstarter campaign, and it was recently delivered to my doorstep. After a quick 2-Player game, I thought I’d push some of my first impressions out to you, so let’s get going! So Much to Understand Listen, this is…

When it comes to card games, I’m very familiar with those that come in a box with instructions (ala Dominion) and those that come in secret packs (ala Pokemon, Magic the Gathering, Disney Lorcana). I am very much not familiar with Living Card Games, where the cards are all predetermined in each box, but the decks you create can be varied and of your own personal desire. My father-in-law and I took Marvel Champions for a spin last night for…

As a longtime fan of board games, it was shocking to me that I’d never played something from Arcane Wonders. My eyes were opened to all the fantastic games they have on offer at GenCon 2023, and over the past few weeks I’ve been making my way through their catalogue? Here are my two favourite titles from Arcane Wonder as of writing! Neotopia I love an abstract tile laying game, and while Neotopia attempts to get you invested in building…

The words affordable and board game table are likely things you never expected to be in the same sentence. Even if you wanted one of the impressive Game Toppers for your standard table, you were still going to spend over 1000 dollars for a 3×5 table. Most tables today are in the range of 2000-3000 dollars, and that’s before you pay to ship a product weighing hundreds of pounds. Enter Project Ironwood, a project we have written about many times…

If you have had the pleasure of playing Descent: Legends of the Dark, then you know that to complete the entire campaign is going to take 40 – 50 hours of your time, which is a huge chunk. In our review of that game , we praised it for great components and fantastic storytelling. After we finished our last game and crossed over the 45 hour mark, we were pretty happy with our experience. But was it worth diving into…
