The Batman Who Laughs pits players against the ultimate DC Villain
The Batman Who Laughs is the second game we've played in the Rising system, after we played SpongeBob Squarepants: Plankton Rising previously. This system seems to have been based around having a large villain statue, which is used in…
Cuphead: Fast Rolling Dice Game impressed!
Cuphead is known as a very challenging, face past, almost Disney-looking video game that will make you rage quit. Or, well, it does make me rage quit. So, as a result, I was pretty curious on how the intense, face-paced, always going to…

New York Slice is pizza collecting fun.
I am a big fan of food-based board games. I have an entire bookshelf dedicated to the food theme games I have come across and picked up in my time. I am also from New York, and love Pizzas — my dad was a Pizza cook before I was born. So, I…
What Next? Angry koalas, that’s what
