Lord of The Rings Adventure Book Game – An Interesting Board
We have played a lot of different board games over the years, and through them we've seen a whole bunch of different designs, quirks and styles. That said, unique boards are few and far between, which is why I was delighted and surprised to…
Weird Little Elf is a family-friendly deception game suitable for play all year round
It's the night before Christmas and an imp has snuck themselves into the rank of Santa's elves, planning a little bit of festive mischief. In Weird Little Elf, Santa has gathered his workforce and each must take turns answering a question,…
Kiss the Goblin has you acting your class
If you are familiar with DnD, you might know the different alignments of characters. It’s sort of like a grid, with one side of the grid being Good, Neutral and Evil, and the other side being Lawful, Neutral and Chaotic. Characters can be…
Terracotta Army has great ideas, but will it stand the test of time?
I am all for new ideas in board games — especially when they are designed and implemented to a high standard. In Terracotta Army, there are several good ideas including more than one that I’ve never seen before, but what I’m struggling to…
Pokemon Labyrinth – Slide around the map
Pokemon, being such a massive franchise, of course has a Labyrinth version. It just makes sense to have all of those little, iconic pocket monsters littered all around a map, waiting for you to scoop them up one-after-another. Pokemon…

Age of Wonders: Planetfall (the card game) crashes down with a bang
When I reviewed Age of Wonders: Planetfall back in 2019, I never imagined that almost five years later, I’d be reviewing a card game about it. Even more bizarrely, when I received said card game, I never expected it to be as good as it has…
Sankoré: The Pride of Mansa Musa proves that higher education takes time
Sankoré: The Pride of Mansa Musa is going to be called a lot of things in this review… It’s clever, it’s beautiful and it’s fast-paced once you teach it, but it’s also daunting and opaque to truly understand, and I’m already predicting that…
Dutch Resistance: Orange Shall Overcome! will occupy every bit of your free time if you let it!
The last time we experienced a World War II-themed cooperative game, it was Philip duBarry’s superb Black Orchestra: Second Edition. I couldn’t get enough of Black Orchestra at the time, and when I read about Dutch Resistance: Orange Shall…
