Frozen Unicorns is a Charming Idea, but it isn’t much of a game…

Matthew Smail Nov 16, 2020 0
When it comes to choosing board and card games, I’m always on the lookout for options that might appeal to me, my wife and our kids equally. This is a heck of a challenge, and so far only the likes of Jurassic Snack and Zoo Run have managed…

Out of the blue, Granblue Fantasy: Versus is an incredible looking 2.5d fighting…

Matthew Smail Nov 13, 2020 0
Whilst I’m not overly familiar with Arc System Works games in general, Granblue Fantasy: Versus recently caught my eye thanks to its incredible visuals and silky smooth animation. At first I thought I might be stepping into a fairly average…

The Pursuit of Happiness is a gloriously thematic worker placement game

Matthew Smail Nov 13, 2020 0
As our lives become more and more complicated, we often seek simpler, more straightforward pleasures — things like drawing with our children, or taking a walk with friends. In a related parallel, I seek release from playing board games, and…

Root’s digital adaptation is Dire Wolf Digital’s finest work to date

Matthew Smail Nov 12, 2020 0
It’s no small thing being asked to produce a digital adaptation of one of the most popular new board games of the last few years, but Dire Wolf Digital (who previously gave us the excellent Raiders of the North Sea) have really gone to town…

Tropico 6 on Switch shines in handheld mode, but let’s leave it there…

Matthew Smail Nov 11, 2020 0
Wonders never seem to cease when it comes to what can be achieved on Nintendo’s Switch. For me, being able to access a pretty much complete edition of Civilization VI will be tough to beat, and yet developers continue to push the envelope…

Bellum Sacrum is a symmetrical card game with Godlike replay value

Matthew Smail Nov 9, 2020 0
As modern board games become more and more popular, the temptation to use increasingly bigger boxes with more and more elaborate components is more than some publishers can resist. For design Anthony Gibbins and his company (Bow String…

Patchwork is a fast, tight, 2-player game of Tetris for your tabletop or your…

Matthew Smail Nov 6, 2020 0
In these uncertain times, when the next lockdown could be imposed at any moment, it makes sense to keep a stock of games that really work at low player counts — and for most households, that means two players. Patchwork, from legendary…

Kingdom Rush: Rift in Time is a huge box of Tower-Defense Tricks!

Matthew Smail Oct 30, 2020 0
Lucky Duck Games is rapidly becoming one of the most talked about board game publishers of the current gaming era. This is no small thanks to securing the rights to convert huge properties like Jetpack Joyride and Kingdom Rush into board…

What’s Missing is a fun, if slightly unbalanced party game

Matthew Smail Oct 16, 2020 0
Even though we cover a wide variety of different games here at Big Boss Battle, I’d say we cover fewer party games than we do other, heavier genres and thematic games. This is likely because my kids are too young for them, and the presence…

Port Royale 4 is no Caribbean dream, but it sure kills a lot of time

Matthew Smail Oct 13, 2020 0
Heavy economic simulators are common on PC, but much fewer and further between on console. This is a genre that requires time and focus from players in order to penetrate complex systems and mechanics, and few examples of this kind of game…
