World of Tanks: The Card Game ▸ Shelfside Plays

✇Shelfside
Von: Shelfside
01. Oktober 2025 um 18:00

💾

There is now a card game version of World of Tanks! This is a 1v1 duel to have the most tank power on the battlefield at the end of every round. You'll manage ammo and tank abilities within your asymmetric faction! There's actually positioning too into 5 different locations, so tank range matters. For these samples, we have German and American decks, with their own bases too! To get more ammo, you can create ammo depots by placing facedown cards.

Secret Societies Prototype Review — Deep Euro Bidding!

✇Shelfside
Von: Shelfside
01. Oktober 2025 um 01:01

💾

If you wanted a Euro-driven bidding game with strong asymmetry, look no further! This Garpill Games' release has hand management of your bids as you seek to get the most power (victory points). You will collect sets of deeds (countries) and expand your income by filling in your player board! This game shares some similarities to entries like Hadrian's Wall, but has a LOT more interaction in comparison. Is this the auction game for you with variable set-up and a lot of really nice wooden tabletop pieces?

Quartermaster General East Front - A Historical game review

In this video I take a closer look at Quartermaster General: East Front, the latest entry in the Quartermaster General series. It’s a clever new design that brings fresh mechanics to the system, but it also raises some questions about historical content and how the game portrays the Eastern Front of WWII.

This is also my first attempt at returning to proper game reviews on the channel, so let me know in the comments if you’d like to see more of these in the future!
