Matthew Smail Apr 8, 2022 0
Along with several other games that have really “changed” the scene for me (including Scythe and Terraforming Mars) Eric Lang’s 2015 Blood Rage is a watermark in gaming history. Blood Rage had it all — Vikings, amazing miniatures, tight…

Airborne Kingdom — Magic Carpet Ride

Matthew Smail Apr 7, 2022 0
Drawing inspiration from Middle-Eastern stories such as Aladdin and adding an almost Steampunk-like element to them might sound like a crazy idea, but that is exactly what makes Airborne Kingdom an interesting and unusual prospect. A serene…

Flotilla is a theme-heavy eurogame from Wizkids, but does it sink or swim?

Matthew Smail Apr 4, 2022 0
Although apparently in the minority, I used to consider Kevin Costner’s Waterworld one of my favourite films. I think what I liked about it was the unique take on the idea of a world ravaged by global warming and what that meant to the…

5 Minute Read — The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante

Matthew Smail Mar 28, 2022 0

Matthew Smail Mar 25, 2022 0
A little while ago, I was lucky enough to review the Lord of the Rings Adventure Card Game on Xbox and I really enjoyed it. As I was researching that review, I realised that the digital release was actually based on a board game — Lord of…

Melty Blood Type Lumina is a challenger for the title of best anime fighter

Matthew Smail Mar 23, 2022 0
Full disclosure, I have always been a traditionalist when it comes to fighting games — my talent ran out somewhere around the time Tekken 3 was released, and I definitely have more of an affinity with slower, more traditional fighting games…

Matthew Smail Mar 21, 2022 0
In general, when Dr Reiner Knizia sets his mind to something, the outcome tends to be good. Knizia is responsible for some of our favorite games, with the likes of The Quest for El Dorado, Yellow & Yangtze and Lost Cities among his…

The Quest for El Dorado is part deck builder, part race, but all Knizier

Matthew Smail Mar 17, 2022 21
Dr Reiner Knizia is without doubt one of the most prolific and talented board game designers that has ever lived. Perhaps one of the best things about the sheer number of games Knizia has produced is that his back catalogue is just as good…
