It had been a long time since I played Advanced Civilization, a game that was released in 1991 but was an expansion for a game released in 1980.

And Advanced Civilization delivers that! What I actually enjoy is that despite the games length – it took us 8…

Tower Up was not a game I had a lot of interest in, but after a few games over the holidays with my family, I’m singing a much different tune. The simplicity of Tower Up might not be for everyone, but I think if you are looking for a filler game that feels pretty meaty, then this could be the perfect game for you!

I am a sucker for cooperative, dungeon crawl games, and when Asmodee Canada reached out and asked if I wanted to look at Dungeon Legends, it was an easy, “Yes” from me! Getting the game unboxed took a bit of work as you build the various boxes and fill them with their pieces, but once that was done, I was VERY impressed with the game’s production, which made me more excited to play. Dungeon Legends plays over a number of…

Our gaming group has played more than a few games of Tapestry over the years, and we have slowly begun upgrading our collection. First, I snagged the expansions for the game through the Stonemaier review process, and we enjoyed what those added to the game. Then we picked up the playmat for the game, which rolls up nicely and includes the Arts and Architecture track as well. And now we are looking at the Folded Space insert for the game,…

We received Tower Up…
