Snowcrest is likely to be a divisive game, and even when I wasn’t having the most fun with the experience, I was still intrigued by the process. It’s been a while since a single game has given me wildly different gameplay experiences which makes it hard to decide whether this one will stick around long term or not. That said, there are some great mechanisms here, so at the very least I’ll encourage you to research and not just take…

Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons – Review
Ravensburger’s Horrified series has always been a go-to for chill, cooperative game nights. It’s that rare gem that’s easy to learn but still keeps you on your toes with clever monster-hunting puzzles. Now, they’ve taken that winning formula and smashed it right into the legendary world of Dungeons & Dragons with Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons, and honestly? It’s a total hit for both seasoned adventurers and board game fanatics alike. If you’re new to the Horrified universe, here’s the lowdown:…

Villainous: Treacherous Tides Review
Two new characters have been added to the Villainous world and I was wildly excited about one of them, and utterly disinterested in the other. Coming out of the experience, though, I thought both Davey Jones and Tamatoa were excellent editions, and I love having them as options for others to play. If you own a ton of Villainous already, I’m guessing you probably are going to pick this up. But if you are a bit more choosy about what…

Solar Gardens Board Game Review
Generally, it takes us a few weeks at a minimum to review a board game, making sure we’ve played it an adequate number of times, tried different modules, etc. With Solar Gardens, we played this one so much so quickly, it’s only been about 10 days and here we are writing our review. If the amount we’ve played this game in such a short time span doesn’t tell ya, then I will: Solar Gardens is an easy to learn, easy…

Barony Board Game Review
It’s been about a decade since Barony first was released, and while the gameplay hasn’t changed all that much, sometimes it’s nice to overall an older title and bring it into the modern age. While the original Barony was perfectly fine – it had a really nice table presence to be sure – getting your hands on the Sorcery expansion wasn’t easy. Now, that’s all included in this relaunch! We did a complete review of all the components in Barony,…

Western Legends: Blood Money Expansion Review
Welcome back to the Wild West, where robbing banks is as encouraged as capturing bandits! Western Legends was released over a decade ago, and in my review of the base game I noted that I was super disappointed to have missed this game all those years ago. I enjoyed the base game so much that Kolossal Games sent over a slew of expansions and extra content, including Blood Money! Let’s explore what comes in the box, and which parts of…

That Sound Game Party Game Review
Party Games have never been my forte, but recently we have been having larger than normal board game nights. Games like That Sound Game are perfect when the number of players climbs above six, so getting this to the table recently has been pretty easy. While I still don’t love party games as a whole, this one surprised me in ways I wasn’t expecting, and made the evening enjoyable for all, I think! In That Sound Game, players will be…

Santorini: Riddle of the Sphinx Board Game Review
Santorini isn’t a game I’ve really enjoyed a ton. If someone wants to play it I’m going to play it, but I’m VERY poor at the game overall. Still, the concepts and ideas behind the game, including the plethora of God Cards that significantly change how the game is played, have always intrigued me. When Roxley originally reached out to us to help promote the Kickstarter for a cooperative expansion, I was intrigued. I love a great cooperative experience, and…

Toy Battle Board Game Review
My wife and I are always looking for games our kids can play together. We can only play so many games of Catan Jr. and Carcassonne Jr. before we need something else to occupy their time. When I was at Canada Plays 2025 sponsored by Asmodee Canada, I got a quick demo of Toy Battle and I was immediately intrigued. If you are older, you might remember grabbing any action figure you could get your hands on and having a…
