Asmodee is pushing forward with Access+ titles. What does this mean? It means taking past games and making them more accessible, in a few different ways. In terms of Access+ Timeline, it's about taking a game that was micro in size and making it bigger and more accessible for younger audiences and those with sight issues. Let's take a look at Access+ Timeline.

One of the best things about board games is that people of all ages can enjoy them. Whatever your age, there is a board game for you. And if you don’t feel like leaving home to play, you can always play them on your PC. Source The best thing is that there are solo board games that you can so enjoy alone. You can check them here. Otherwise, here are some of the best real-life board games that you can…

7 Wonders is one of my favourite board games, but with so many games to play and only one scheduled board game night per week, it's not one we get to the table often. Every Thursday a group of friends sits down to play one of the best new board games available on the market, and often times, it's not something old. During the rest of the week, it is just my wife and I, and two player games are the cats meow! Enter 7 Wonders Duel, a perfect game that closely represents that feeling of the main game, but is designed specifically for two players! Let's hop in!

If you are relatively new to the board game world - and in this instance, games like Monopoly, The Game of Life, and yes even Catan do not count - there are a few games we like to call gateway experiences to the wider world of detailed, specific games. Ticket to Ride is currently sitting on the cusp of the casual versus hardcore board game players, but it is still an excellent title to get to the table for those less savvy friends and family.

If you've ever travelled down to my basement you'll see shelves and shelves of board and card games. At this present, we are not quite sure how many games we own, but that number is easily above 150. Sometimes, games get played a lot and then are shoved back onto the shelves to collect dust for a while. Other experiences - legacy games for examples - are one and done experiences. Splendor, a fantastic title that we really enjoyed for months on end, is one of those games collecting dust, but a brand new crossover is happening which is bringing it back to our ...

I've never been a huge fan of Settlers of Catan - for longtime board game fans, Settlers of Catan has fallen into the category of casual board games, alongside the likes of Monopoly, Sorry, and The Game of Life. It once was at the cutting edge of the board game space, but it no longer has the charm and strategic elements necessary to play with the big boys like Tapestry, Scythe, and others. Still, when Asmodee gave me the great opportunity to review the Settlers of Catan dice game, I was really intrigued - I'm a huge fan of games like Dice City, and generally ...

I've long been a fan of Stonemaier games, and so have many of my friends and family members. So often I'll ask other board game aficionados which developer and publisher they like the most, and consistently the folks at Stonemaier are at the top, or at least near the top, of that list. So it made me wonder - why is Stonemaier so successful. I chalk it up to a few key points, all of which have created one of the best board game teams of the last decade.

A few weeks ago, we posted our “How to Play” article for Game of Throne: Catan – Brotherhood of the Watch. While I’ve been fairly vocal about my dislike of the base version of Catan, many of the spin off adaptations – most notably to date the Star Trek version – have improved on my main problems with the original. Was Brotherhood of the Watch also able to satisfy my concerns? Let’s dive in! In my opinion, the additions to…

What happens when you mix a wildly successful board game and a wildly successful television show? Usually, the results of mixing two great things together are not always good, but in this situation, the result is magnificent! But you might be wondering how to play this version of Catan, and how different it is than the original? Well we have all the details on Game of Throne: Catan - Brotherhood of the Watch, so read on!
