Attack on Titan: The Last Stand Board Game Review

Attack on Titan is a very popular franchise, so it made sense that Attack on Titan: The Last Stand was released in 2017 and did very well! The publisher has recently released a second edition of the game, and it has all the same fun as the original with some notable upgrades! Let’s take a look at Attack on Titan: The Last Stand, published by Japanime Games! Attack on Titan, once on the table, is a very impressive game. The…

Cats in Space? MLEM Board Game Review

For the longest time, my family (mostly for my kids) were obsessed with Celestia, a game where players hopped on a hot air balloon and traveled from location to location attempting to earn points. Cards were played to move, and at some point people either decided to get off the balloon or crashed with it and earned no points. MLEM is doing a similar thing, but with cats in space. Does it do enough different stuff to replace a family…

Coffee Rush Great at 3 or 4 Players, Not at 2

Coffee Rush was one of my most anticipated games – I originally saw it demoed at an event sponsored by Asmodee Canada and Lion Rampant Imports last year, and was instantly mesmerized by the interesting looking gameplay, but mostly the fantastic production of the game. Fantastic components only gets you so far, though, so let’s take a look at the game itself and whether it deserves a spot on your shelf! Coffee Rush can be played at 2-4 players, and…

Raising Robots Board Game Review – The Wingspan Killer?

Raising Robots arrived in late 2023 but joins my top 5 games of the year for many reasons. First, the components included in the deluxe version of the game are phenomenal , and the artwork might be the best art I’ve seen in a board game ever. But there is another more important reason it’s in my top 5 – it’s a phenomenal game that I cannot wait to play again and again! Let’s take a look! The best comparable…

GraviTrax JUNIOR Starter-Set: Jungle

GraviTrax has been a very popular toy in my household for the last few years. In fact, when I compare this toy to others that we have purchased and reviewed over the past few years, this is one that continues to get taken out of the closet, even a few years down the road. My youngest son Lincoln always had issues making all the pieces in standard GraviTrax work, and always felt a bit left out when the rest of…

Diced Veggies – Simple, Yet Engaging

There is something great about taking a game off the shelf and knowing you aren’t in for a multi-hour experience. Don’t get me wrong, I love longer games, and obviously have plenty to choose from. But every once in a while, you just want a nice short game that can be fun for all ages, and easy enough to understand that you can even teach it to someone new in just a few minutes. At GenCon 2023, I had the…

Mycelia Board Game Review

Nature, mushrooms, animals. These all seem to be the rage right now when it comes to board game themes, and for the most part, they all work really well. Many games, however, are beginning to blend together, as companies share concepts and ideas and just reskin them and mix of the mechanics to make something “new.” Mycelia is partially doing that, but includes a really cool dew drop system that is actually a lot of fun, albeit potentially gimmick. Either…
