Thurn Und Taxis Board Game Review - Still Worth It?

✇BoardGameBollocks
Von: BoardGameBollocks
17. Mai 2026 um 11:26

💾

In this review, I take a fresh look at Thurn und Taxis, the classic route-building board game from Andreas Seyfarth and Karen Seyfarth. Once a big name in the hobby and winner of the Spiel des Jahres, but does it still hold up today?

We’ll look at how Thurn und Taxis plays, what makes its network-building and hand-management tick, whether the gameplay still feels sharp, and whether it deserves a place on your shelf in the modern board game landscape.

Is this postal-route classic still worth playing, or has it been left behind by newer games?

Perfect for fans of classic Eurogames, gateway games, route-building games, and anyone wondering whether Thurn und Taxis is still worth buying or keeping in their collection.

Top 10 Tower Defence Board Games

Tower defence isn’t just for video games anymore. In this video, we’re counting down the Top 10 Tower Defence Board Games — games where waves of enemies, clever positioning, brutal choices, and last-stand panic all collide on the tabletop.

From fantasy monsters and sci-fi invasions to castles, traps, turrets, barricades, and desperate “please don’t break through the line” moments, these are the board games that best capture that classic tower defence feeling. Expect tactical decisions, escalating pressure, co-op chaos, and probably at least one game where everything goes horribly wrong by round three.

Whether you love cooperative board games, solo board games, campaign games, castle defence games, or just watching your carefully built defences get smashed to bits, this list has something for you.

Are these the best tower defence board games ever made? Or have I missed your favourite? Let me know in the comments.

Cascadero Board Game Review

In this video, we review Cascadero, a strategic tile placement board game from legendary designer Reiner Knizia.

Published by Bitewing Games, Cascadero sees players placing envoys, connecting towns, triggering bonuses, and trying to build the most efficient network across the board. But is this another clean, clever Knizia classic — or just a dry puzzle dressed up in fancy Ian O’Toole artwork?

We take a look at the gameplay, strategy, player interaction, production quality, replayability, and whether Cascadero deserves a place on your shelf.

If you enjoy Reiner Knizia board games, clever abstract strategy games, tile laying, network building, and tense Euro-style decisions, this Cascadero review should help you decide whether it’s worth picking up.

Is AI ruining board games, or is it the future of the hobby? In this video, we tackle the growing debate around AI in board games and ask the question everyone seems to have an opinion on: AI in board games – yes or no?

From AI-generated art and board game design tools to playtesting, writing, and idea generation, artificial intelligence is starting to show up all over the tabletop world. But does it actually make games better, faster, and more accessible, or does it strip away the creativity and soul that make board games special in the first place?

In this video, we break down the history of AI, the different ways it’s being used in modern board gaming, the biggest pros and cons, and the ethical arguments surrounding AI-created content in tabletop games. Whether you love the idea, hate it, or are still undecided, this video dives into both sides of the argument.

If you’re into board games, tabletop gaming, board game design, AI tools, and gaming debate videos, this one’s for you.

What do you think — is AI good for board games, or should it stay out of the hobby? Drop your opinion in the comments.
