Welcome to Isofar, a wild land severe in its beauty. As a member of the Isofarian guard, life is never dull. You try to keep the peace among your fellow Isofarians (a never-ending job), as well as deal with constant threats from the aggressive Falmund Empire to the south. That’s the phrase that first caught […]
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.

In the Mythic Vale, witches, wizards, and dragons live side by side. Their magic is strengthened by proximity, so plan carefully to make the Vale as strong as possible. Koven is a card game playable in 15 minutes or less. But, how strong can you make the Vale in only 15 minutes? Well, that’s the […]
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. […]

It’s been 8 years since Mage Knight Ultimate Edition was released, way back in 2018. That was supposed to be it. No more content, everything in this one enormous box. But then it just kept selling. And selling! And selling! And all that treasure awakened a terrible Draconic Power. Now the Apocalypse Dragon is wreaking […]
Western theater traces its roots back to Ancient Greece, with famous titles including Antigone, Medea, and Oedipus entertaining audiences with fun plotlines of suicide, infanticide, and incest/murder, respectively. We’ve come oh-so-far since then, with the likes of SpongeBob SquarePants the Musical gracing the most esteemed stages. Well, now, dear gamer, it’s your turn to create […]
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 […]
