Metal Coins – You Don’t Need Them, But You Want Them

A few months ago, Stonemaier Games reached out to us and let us know we could purchase anything on their store up to $75 USD to take a look at, so we took advantage of that and purchased…coins. We have had the immense pleasure of reviewing every single Stonemaier Game ever released, and so when we were provided this opportunity, we went hard down the well of metal coins, getting coins for all sorts of games like Scythe and Expeditions,…

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…

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.…

Western Legends – What Else Should You Buy?

We have played and reviewed a ton of Western Legends content so far, including the base game, the Blood Money expansion, and the Ante Up expansion. But there is so much more you can pick up for the game, some of which we have to talk about today, and others we still haven’t tried! But what do we recommend picking up, and which should you pass on? Let’s take a look! First and foremost, if Western Legends is one of…

Barony Components Overview and Impressions

Barony is a game full of knights, towns, and castles, but when you boil it down, it’s a fairly abstract game for 2-5 players. Still, an impressive look is always well worth it, so abstract or not, there was a ton of potential in the Royal Edition of Barony. The original Barony, released in 2015, was actually quite loved, both for the gameplay and the look. The buildings were really neat, some with some 3D effects that provided some depth,…

Chuck the Kallax – BoxThrone from Box King

GamesReviews has entered into a partnership with BoxKing to review some current products, and future products as well. To that end, the tables, mats, accessories and more were all provided by BoxKing. That said, our reviews, as always, are our own, so let’s get into the first magnificent BoxKing item: the BoxThrone! I always like to talk about negatives first, and my only complaint – and is it really a complaint? – would be the price. While Project Ironwood was…

Clash of Clans Coming to Kickstarter

I love when my two favorite hobbies – video games and board games – cross over with each other. We’ve had some truly magnificent video game themed board games over the years, and while I won’t rehash those here, another is on the horizon. Maestro Media, in collaboration with Supercell, is launching Clash of Clans on Kickstarter in just a few days, and we could not be more excited! Here is more from Maestro Media: “Maestro Media, in collaboration with…
