A couple of years ago, I reviewed a little party game called Smug Owls from Runaway Parade Games. It has remained in my collection, and several family members often request to play it. So when I saw Bullseye from the same design duo of Mike Belsole and Grace Kendall, my interest was immediately piqued! The […]
The Nazi party and individuals therein were responsible for the combined murder of several millions of civilians and prisoners; thus, the term “Nazi” is near universally considered synonymous with evil. Following World War II, just 199 Nazis were put on trial for their crimes at Nuremberg, but many thousands more fled to various corners of […]

Crowdfunded board games are a saturated market space. In other breaking news, the sky is blue. That saturation means there are much-hyped games that don’t even merit being printed. It also means that there are criminally underrated games that sneak through unnoticed. To call Mysthea unnoticed is a bit of an overstatement, as it was […]

Similar to Clash Royale, Toy Battle is a quick, two-player tactical game where you’re aiming to secure objectives by placing troops and using their […]
Every year, I make a trip up to Milwaukee for Adepticon. It’s a game convention focused on war games and miniatures. My main goal in going, other than taking some painting classes, is to wander the dealer hall and look for new games to try out. Last year, I stumbled across Hametsu and absolutely loved […]

I love a good murder mystery. I’ve watched every episode of Midsummer Murders. My “Read” shelf is heavy with detective novels, especially Scandi noir. Intent to Kill should have been a shoo-in for me. But instead it left me feeling decidedly meh. Intent to Kill is a 2-player deduction game published by 25th Century Games. […]
Music has been a love of mine forever. I remember lying on my bed when I was seven or eight years old, listening to FM radio and later being enthralled by music videos, watching when my family first got cable in 1984. My first concert was seeing Anthrax opening for Iron Maiden in 1991, and […]
The world is now more inter-connected than ever. While this may sound like a good thing, it also means that a butterfly flapping its wings over the Straight of Hormuz can cause a cascading disruption to global supply chains, which you can doomscroll and read all about on any of your 3+ internet-connected personal devices.

Everyone loves cats, including board gamers and board game designers. Naturally, therefore, there are a plethora of cat-themed board games available. They are as quirky as the feline companions we all love. Many of them are simple (and thus, often overlooked by the heavier board gaming crowd), while others have surprising depth for such a […]

The first things that drew me to Tembo Survival on the Savanna were the art by Vincent Dutrait and the table presence. The theme of elephants traveling across the Savanna also intrigued me. Tembo, which means elephant in Swahili, is a cooperative game that plays one to four players in about 30 to 45 minutes. […]
The Game of Life is a classic American childhood game that fills its players with excitement for the future as they imagine themselves getting a job, getting married, buying a house, and then having 1-4 kids, quite possibly all within a handful of successive, relatively effortless turns. The message: adult life is easy, fun, and […]
