A few weeks ago, the team behind ALtered in France sent over a wonderful little package that only only included some nice items like some chocolate and a scarf, but also 12 packs of the newest Altered expansion, Trial by Frost! We are always excited for new TCG content, and we have really been enjoying our time with Altered. The latest expansion has a very “snowy” and “Christmas” vibe, so let’s take a look! From Altered’s website, “Begin your ascent…

When companies take popular franchises they own and release a younger, kid friendly version of said game, I’m almost always going to be intrigued. With two younger kids – ages 10 and 6 – playing games in our house, introducing them to more complex ideas and concepts with kid friendly games is something I really enjoy. The trick is creating a game that is great for kids, but fun for adults as well. Little Alchemist does just that, and it’s…

There is a really nice deluxified version of Radlands, a somewhat binged out version with nice plastic tokens, and a standard version available. The standard version, specifically, is so inexpensive that even before this review is over I suggest you head out and pick it up if you enjoy two player card games! We got the middle of the road version from Roxley games, which includes plastic tokens and a nice storage box! But is the game any good? Let’s…

My Dutch roots makes the idea of playing Windmill Valley very appealing. Growing fields of tulips to earn points? Sign me up! But a good theme of a fantastic production only gets a game so far – to that end, is Windmill Valley worth your time and money? Let’s take a look! I think off the top we need to mention how good the production is. All of the cardboard pieces are nice and thick, and while you can get…

There is nothing wrong with releasing an easy to play, straightforward dungeon crawl sort of game, and that is exactly what Dungeon Legends is all about. We raved about this game when we wrote about it in our components overview and impressions article, so check that out, but how is the game itself? I love having games I can get to the table to play with my younger kids, and as a huge fan of cooperative experiences, this one scratches…

We have been following the story of Project Ironside, the first really affordable board game table currently available on the marketplace. For just a few hundred dollars, consumers have been promised an inexpensive yet durable board game table that will work in any gaming room for years to come. We have been VERY impressed with how this company has handled the Kickstarter campaign so far, and with their recent merger with Box King, bigger and better things are on the…

It’s been about 9 months since a huge box of games arrived at our studio from IV Studio, thanks to the publishing team. I had obviously seen a bunch of the things that IV Studio had released, and was pretty excited about what I was going to find in the box. Excitement was probably an understatement, because once I finished playing all the games in the box, I was pretty excited for what this company was going to do next!…

We’ve been delving deep into the world of Root over the holidays, and took yet another expansion pack for a spin. The Underworld Expansion for Root not only provides a new board with two new maps to play, but two brand new factions to sink your teeth into. Moving from the shadows, the Dutchy burrows into clearings, sways ministers, and attempts to dominate and attack across the forest. Is this a good faction to use in your next game of…

There is always room for more when it comes to Root, and the Riverfolk Company faction from the Riverfolk Expansion are adding yet another little change to the world of Root. As with all wars, there is someone looking to profit commercially from a war, and that about sums up what the Riverfolk are looking to do. Can you balance the needs of the different factions and score points? Is it worth having? Let’s take a look! I’ve really come…
