Last week, Asmodee Canada and Fantasy Flight Games sent over a few of the products that will be launching in stores when the second set of Star Wars Unlimited hits store shelves. While many trading card games will run a few sets before changing some key game mechanics - i.e., Disney adding Locations in their third release), Fantasy Flight Games has opted to make a change right away with the second set, and what we can expect is looking pretty promising.

Upgraded Bits are Nice, But Not Necessary – Board Game Rambling about Wyrmspan
Recently, Stonemaier Games sent us over a copy of Wyrmspan for review, and we think it is a brilliant game (more on that in the near future). Whenever we get review items from Stonemaier, they are sent to reviewers via the regional Stonemaier Games webstore. We have always been upfront with the fact that Stonemaier provides us the games at no-cost, but since they send it to us with free shipping, I always peruse the store and often will buy…
Read MoreRise of Babel Board Game First Impressions
I originally reached out to Bedouin Games when their game The Flood was funded and heading out to backers after their successful crowdfunding campaign. Although we haven’t had the chance to look at The Flood yet – very soon, we hope! – Elijah was kind enough to send over their next game coming to crowdfunding, Rise of Babel. Once again a Bible themed game, Rise of Babel will have players building decks and playing cards throughout the game attempting to…
Read MoreDoomlings Expansions Overview and Thoughts
Doomlings was a game my family really enjoyed, and I’m so glad that the company sent over a copy of the game for us to play. Honestly, it is a game I’ve been looking at for a long time, and while I’m not opposed to purchasing games myself, we have so many come through the office that even if I do purchase games, they often sit in shrink for months. With a review opportunity, I HAD to play Doomlings, and…

Is it July yet? Can we say Christmas in July? Well never mind, today we have the fantastic pleasure of looking at the components for an upcoming crowdfunding campaign for the game Tomten.

There isn’t a ton in the box, but based on the copy I am looking at, the production quality is great!…

Read MoreSecret Slasher – Murder Mystery on Kickstarter
Last week Daniel Gugliotti reached out to me about a board game he was launching on Kickstarter, I took a look at it and it seems very cool so I wanted to share with all of you. Now it’s worth noting that this game has already reached its goal which is fantastic news, but there is still time for you all to get your foot in the door before it’s too late. Direct from the creator: “Secret Slasher is a…
Read MoreWord Traveler Board Game Review
When it comes to word and/or party games, I'm usually not one to sit at the table and play. I do love a cooperative game - see our Tainted Grail first impressions! - but I'm more of an adventure game fan as opposed to a word game fan. Something like Illiterati was a lot of fun, sure, but that's about as far as my love for word games go. Word Travelers is a word game at its core, but one that balances an understanding of who your partners are, deductive thinking, and more! Let's take a look at Word Travelers, and see if it is something you should add to your ...
