Moonrakers is a combination of something I love and something I generally hate. As a longtime fan of games like Dominion, I would say that I really enjoy deck or bag buildings games. Negotiation games, however, are generally not my cup to of tea. Things like Waterfall Park , while a great production and fun to play, ultimately fall flat for me after a few plays because of the negotiation elements. Still, I’ve managed to play a number of games…

It's only been a few days since I loaded by copy of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door onto my Nintendo Switch, but I've already played through the entirety of what I can cover in this preview, and let me tell you - it's been a blast. The Thousand Year Door is one of my favourite, if not my absolute favourite, video game of all time. To see it remade on the Nintendo Switch is amazing, and while some like to grumble about paying full price for old games, but ...

Back at GenCon 2023, my friend and I stumbled across the Monster Fight Club booth and got a cool demo of Borderlands: Mister Torgue’s Arena of Badassery. The game had a phenomenal table presence, and as someone who LOVES Borderlands, it seemed like the kind of game I would want to play. We recently got a review copy into the office for this one, and had it unboxed! Let’s check out the components! There is a lot of stuff in…

Good or bad components can make or break a game in my opinion. Let's see how Moonrakers stacks up in this area!

It’s been a little while since we put out a review for Star Wars Shatterpoint but we are back with a fully painted squad of Mandalorians to talk about. Ever since I finished watching The Mandalorian on Dinsey+ I’ve been eagerly anticipating a Shatterpoint Squad Pack with Din Djarin and Groku, and it is here! Is it worth picking up, however, or is it simply preying on the desire for fans to get their hands on more Mando stuff! Let’s…

Fun and cutesy card games have been swinging for the fences for almost a decade now. I remember the first time I played Killer Bunnies, and while I wasn’t a huge fan of how long you played, and then it all came down to the luck of what carrots you had, I did enjoy most of the turn-to-turn moments the game offered. Here to Slay is another cutesy card driven experience that threw a lot of wacky ideas onto the…

When Board & DIce asked if I wanted to review Books of Time, I was pretty excited. Although we were talking about their upcoming title, Windmill Valley (which I’m pumped for as a Dutch Canadian) , that game isn’t quite ready yet for public consumption. So, with the knowledge that Books of Time was in the mail, I hopped over to Watch it Played to learn how the game worked, and by golly was I shocked and impressed by how…

I’ve been inundated with ads for Doomlings on Facebook for quite a long time now, and while it’s been in my cart on various board game selling websites, I’ve never pulled the trigger for one reason or another. I actually enjoy these kinds of games, and this one seemed so very wholesome, and one that the entire family could enjoy. Last week, Doomlings reached out to ask if I wanted to take a look at the game, and of course…

For as long as The Red Dragon Inn has been a thing, I’m honestly SHOCKED that I’ve never played the game before. There are people who love this franchise – and purchase every game – and others who don’t. For me, I’ve felt very overwhelmed by the whole idea. The game has been around for so long, with so many expansions, that I’m not sure I wanted the hassle of jumping in now! That was until a review copy of…

Recently, Asmodee Canada sent over the game Captain Flip, and honestly I wasn’t really sure what to think when I began unboxing it and looking at the rules. With only a few pages of rules, this is a very simple game to play that younger kids would have no issues with, but still remain fun for adults as well. In Captain Flip, players will be trying to earn coins throughout the game so that when the game ends, they have…
