GamesReviews has reviewed a ton of toys over the past half decade, and most of them are flashes in the pan. A few obvious brands stick out, and some less obvious. I think it is no surprise to anyone that LEGO and Playmobil are a big thing with my 10 year old and 6 year old, but one other toy has also caught their attention. This is NOT a flash-in-the-pan experience either, although there is a lot of flash. When…

Superstore 3000 Board Game Review
Superstore 3000 is an easy to learn tile laying game for 1-4 players. Although we said “easy to learn” that doesn’t mean the strategy of the game is easy to master. As you place down stores into your mall and attempt to satisfy customers, you’ll want to keep your eyes on those attraction tiles and docking bays as well. What you build, and when you build it, will be the deciding factor in how well you perform by the end.…
Read MoreLEGO Supply Llama Review
A few weeks ago, The LEGO Group and Epic Games sent over the 4 brand new LEGO Fortnite sets, and we have been having a blast putting them together. Obviously, we reviewed the big sets first – you can read our thoughts on the Battle Bus and Peely Bone now! But the most interesting set in my opinion was the Fortnite Supply Llama, a LEGO set based on the iconic purple Fortnite Llama that is always giving gifts and loot…
Read MoreSuperstore 3000 Components Overview and Impressions
Superstore 3000 from Space Cowboys landed on my desk a little while ago thanks to our friends at Asmodee Canada, and I wasn’t sure what to expect with this one. Asmodee always reaches out before sending games and asks if I’m interested – I do appreciate this – but with Superstore 3000, I wasn’t sure exactly what I would be getting. Why did I say yes? It was a relatively short game (30-45 minutes) and was playable at my son’s…

Mario & Luigi: Brothership is a brand new experience a decade in the making - but does it hold up to previous games in the series?
Read MoreAltered Trading Card Game Review
A few months ago, we wrote about Altered and how much we enjoyed the brief time we spent with the game at Asmodee Canada’s, Canada Plays event. My father-in-law and I knew that there was something really fun and different here, but with only two chances to play, and only using 2 of the potential 6 starter decks, we didn’t have enough time with it. Asmodee Canada sent over an Altered package which included a booster box of packs, 2…

Lord of the Rings Duel: Battle for Middle Earth is one of the better 2-Player games I have ever played. This one is worth looking into!
Read MoreArcs Board Game Components Overview and Impressions
Arcs is the latest release from Leder Games and is now available at retail after a very successful Kickstarter campaign. Leder Games was nice enough to send over the base game of Arcs, so let’s get this open and let you know what we think of the included components. Leder Games produces really nice games – nothing is every out of this world in the base box. For example, the basic components in Oath are cardboard tokens, but can be…
