7 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!

Castles 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.

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…
