I'm not sure if the mythology of this game is the appeal or the fact that it's supposed to be a legitimately really good game...albeit a very long one.
I've owned UvC for a number of years and have longed to play it for even more, so the scheduling worked out this week that Jon & I are finally getting it to the table and learning it. Come check it out...
Will this video remain up? I dunno. But in the meantime, enjoy hanging out with us while we try out this extremely esoteric unicorn, yeah?
It's time for PART 2 of Board Games Direct - the digital alternative to a board game convention that doesn't require that you interact with other humans OR your limbs! Today we've got a selection of games that are a little bit CHUNKIER - a more substantial box, madame? Please do!

Lorcana Noobs here! We piggy dipped our little piggy toes into this TCG, and mama loves TCGs. 🪄 Decided to give this “pack rush” variant a go. Each get two packs, combine and shuffle the 24 cards to make a single deck BUT don’t look at the cards! It’s a surprise! The two non-playable cards act as starting ink to give you a boost and the first to 15 lore wins! And that was me, in case you missed it! -Dani
Hey friends! It's time to chat all things beetles and the new game from Split Stone Games called STAG! Stag follows the life cycle of beetles — a game of planning and resource management, culminating in a social deduction showdown where you can lose it all if you’re too greedy! I hope you all enjoy the video!

I love a 2-player game and Citadels Duel absolutely fits the bill. It feels like Citadels but somehow more tactical and savage? Do you need to know Citadels to enjoy the duel? Absolutely not! It’s a whole vibe of its own :) -Dani
Brass: Pittsburgh…A place where you lay pipe and sip oil all in the name of scoring more points than your partner! In all seriousness, I really enjoyed this iteration of Brass ESPECIALLY as a 2-player biddy. It checks a lot of boxes for me. -Dani
The Queen’s Dilemma! Good friggin' grief, this game checks A LOT of boxes for me. A narrative experience that encourages politics at the table AND YOU ACTUALLY HAVE FUN engaging with it (it’s fantasy…of course). We’ve already created so many inside jokes that have bled into our day-to-day conversations and you can’t put a price tag on memories like that. End Scene. -Dani
Board Games Direct is BACK! This week we'll be showcasing a ton of new & upcoming games, bringing the excitement of a board game convention straight down a big pipe and into your home. Feast your eyes and/or brains on PART ONE: Thematic Games!
POND is a game about being a Frog who controls all the ponds! The art is so charming I had to sing about it. Short is sponsored by Brother Ming Games - https://www.brotherminggames.com/pond
Kicking off Board Games Direct 2026 we are DELIGHTED to reveal Mechs vs. Minions: Bandle City Edition, set in the League of Legends universe, originally published by Riot Games in 2016.
Incredible Dream Studios has brought the original game back in a slimmed down and more cost effective package. The Bandle City Edition contains the same missions from the original game, and replaces the plastic minis with acrylic standees and cardboard. Adding to the content in the original game, IDS have added solo challenge puzzle cards, card dividers, skin cards with alternate-art, and more. IDS is also bringing back the Classic Edition for people wanting the original experience and plastic miniatures.
