Fantasy Flight Games has been gracious enough to continue to support the Arkham Horror: The Card Game system for almost ten years. During that timeframe, they released several campaigns, standalone scenarios, investigator decks, and supplementary products. Due to a lack of reprints and scarcity, the system was strained by continuing forward while losing the ability […]
It's always exciting watching a game execute what it sets out to do almost... It's always exciting watching a game execute what it sets out to do almost... It's always exciting watching a game execute what it sets out to do almost...I am not a hardcore historical board gamer by any means, but when you offer me a way to casually dive into them in under two hours of gameplay, I’m more than happy to give it a whirl.

At Gen Con 2024, I had a chance to demo REM Racers and thought it was a fun mix of Mario Kart and X-Wing, using templates to move cars along a track while also trying to blow your friends’ little remote-controlled cars up with various weapons. The game had a fun art style, but I […]
