Of all the 2023 Star Wars: Shatterpoint releases, my father-in-law was looking forward to Cad Bane and the Fistfull of Credits Squad Pack. Cad Bane is one of his favourite Star Wars characters, so to have him available in Star Wars: Shatterpoint was a really big deal. But how does this character stack up when finally on the table? How is the secondary character, and the supports? Let’s take a look! Cad Bane The big thing with Cad Bane is…

I’ve played Ticket to Ride with my wife on numerous occasions, and I’ve never felt that Ticket to Ride was a good two-player game. The small box games, like Ticket to Ride Berlin and Ticket to Ride Amsterdam are great with two, but the larger games just don’t work as well, especially if someone is on one side of the board, and the other person on the other. When Asmodee Canada reached out about reviewing Ticket to Ride Legacy: Legends…

I was overly critical of Harvest Moon: One World, and for good reason. Many things about that game bothered me, but the most egregious of them all was the laziness in development. I was shocked that instead of naming characters, they used descriptions to describe people, such as the “Busy Man.” It was lazy development, and that laziness seemed to trickle down and permeate almost all aspects of the game. If it wasn’t for my YouTube channel ...

I’ve been playing board games for well over a decade now, and have amassed a huge collection of games. Add to that the access to games I have because of my gaming group, and I’ve had the privilege of playing hundreds of games. Cooperative games have always been something I enjoy, so in this article we will look at my top 3 cooperative board games. Editor’s Note: I have not played every game known to man, and there are popular…

WarioWare is a very niche experience - you either love it, or love to hate it. I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with the game. They hold my attention for a while, but it quickly falls off for me as other, more interesting games become available. For my 9 year old son Lochlan, however, it is a much different story. Still, there are things to love about the WarioWare games, and I fully expected this one to shine in those areas like previous titles.

If you have never played Super Mario RPG before, you are in for a real treat when the enhanced version drops on November 17th. This is a weird preview to put together because, for those of us who have enjoyed it in the past, the game itself has been out since the days of the Super Nintendo. Many regard Super Mario RPG as one of the best Mario games of all time, and specifically the best Mario RPG title (although…

It’s not often that there is a Disney Villainous release that isn’t an “expandalone” title, that being a game that is an expansion but can also be played on its own. When we saw that Filled With Fright, featuring Oogie Boogie, was going to be available, my wife knew she had to have it. As a long time Nightmare Before Christmas fan, it was an expansion we wanted to add to our collection. Thanks to Ravensburger, we had the chance…

Growing up, my family never did advent calendars so the thought of getting a little gift each day leading to Christmas day was foreign to me. I think perhaps over the past 30 years, more and more people have begun getting into the holiday spirit with an advent calendar. They range from calendars that have chocolates or candies, to calendars with books, calendars with toys, and yes even calendars with LEGO. In this article we will look at three different…

If you’ve played Ticket to Ride in the past, a lot of what is in the Ticket to Ride Legacy box will be familiar to you. However, even I was shocked by how big this box was, which makes me really excited for what is to come across the 12 games my wife and I have planned. This is a much more expensive Ticket to Ride experience than just buying a stand-alone game, but early reviews seem promising. At the…

I’m a huge Disney fan – if you were to walk into my house today you would see Disney LEGO sets adorning shelves, Disney Blu Rays in the basement…basically Disney everywhere. Being a sucker for Disney board games, whether good or bad, recently we had the chance to play Disney Sorcerers Arena. I’m always a little sceptical of arena games, but this one does it right, while also being accessible to a wide audience of players. Let’s take a look!…
