CATAN GmbH, CATAN Studio and KOSMOS are thrilled to announce the sixth edition of CATAN, the iconic multiplayer strategy board game that changed the face of board games in modern pop culture. The latest release for CATAN comes 30 years after the introduction of the original game by Klaus Teuber, bringing the beloved game to another generation of players. “CATAN has always been a game about thinking differently, challenging oneself, and bringing people together,” said Guido Teuber, CEO of CATAN…

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! When I think about filler games I tend to look to small box games, generally card…

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.

Tower Up was a game I first saw at Canada Plays 2024, behind closed doors with a few other media personalities. The game looked really interesting, but I wasn’t really wow’d by the presentation given to us at that time.

We received Tower Up…

We played a lot of board games in 2024, but which were the best? Here is my Top 10 games of 2024, whether new or new to me!

Rallyman GT was a pleasant racing experience in board game form, one I wasn't expecting to be as good as it ended up being!

We took Daitoshi for a spin over the past week and love the theme. The gameplay is fantastic as well - a must play!

Planta Nubo might not be my favourite DEVIR production to date, but there is a ton of stuff in the box and overall it's good!

DEVIR has made a ton of complicated games, but that doesn't mean a smaller game isn't within their abilities. Cities is fantastic!
