Snowcrest is likely to be a divisive game, and even when I wasn’t having the most fun with the experience, I was still intrigued by the process. It’s been a while since a single game has given me wildly different gameplay experiences which makes it hard to decide whether this one will stick around long term or not. That said, there are some great mechanisms here, so at the very least I’ll encourage you to research and not just take…

Parks Second Edition Components Overview and Impressions
Recently, Keymaster Games sent over their second edition of Parks, the popular game of traveling and collecting cards with National Parks on them by moving campers across the board, getting resources and other things. Parks generally isn’t my favourite experience, but I’ve always disliked it because it felt really disjointed. This new production might solve that issue for me, but only time will tell. Let’s take a look! As with any Keymaster Games production, Parks Second Edition looks phenomenal. Regardless…

Do You Need a Board Game Table?
I’ve been sitting here, refreshing the tracking information for my new board game table, which should be arriving later today. It got me thinking, our board game table. Something people really need, or are they just something that are nice to have for board game players? A board game table is definitely a luxury item, but it is one that most board game players really want to have. Now that I have one coming, I’m curious to see how beneficial…

Villainous: Treacherous Tides Review
Two new characters have been added to the Villainous world and I was wildly excited about one of them, and utterly disinterested in the other. Coming out of the experience, though, I thought both Davey Jones and Tamatoa were excellent editions, and I love having them as options for others to play. If you own a ton of Villainous already, I’m guessing you probably are going to pick this up. But if you are a bit more choosy about what…

Solar Gardens Board Game Review
Generally, it takes us a few weeks at a minimum to review a board game, making sure we’ve played it an adequate number of times, tried different modules, etc. With Solar Gardens, we played this one so much so quickly, it’s only been about 10 days and here we are writing our review. If the amount we’ve played this game in such a short time span doesn’t tell ya, then I will: Solar Gardens is an easy to learn, easy…

Barony Board Game Review
It’s been about a decade since Barony first was released, and while the gameplay hasn’t changed all that much, sometimes it’s nice to overall an older title and bring it into the modern age. While the original Barony was perfectly fine – it had a really nice table presence to be sure – getting your hands on the Sorcery expansion wasn’t easy. Now, that’s all included in this relaunch! We did a complete review of all the components in Barony,…

Solar Gardens Components Overview and Impressions
Darrington Press recently sent over their latest title, Solar Gardens, and we were really excited to get this one opened and reviewed. We have previously looked at Queen by Midnight: Quarter Past and the production of that game was incredible! With that in the back of my mind, I assumed we would be getting an equally impressive production here. I was not disappointed. Solar Gardens is not going to be a cheap game at retail, and at first glance you…

Snowcrest Board Game Components Overview and Impressions
When games do something that’s just a bit different in their production, I’m always going to be intrigued. Sometimes going against the grain works out really well, and sometimes it falls flat. I think the production of Snowcrest is going to be a divisive one – some people are going to love it, and others are going to hate it. After a few plays of the game, I’m not sure where I sit for now, but leaning towards loving it.…
