The Rise of the Golden Idol Preview – The Adventure Continues

TL;DR: The Rise of the Golden Idol looks good so far, and I’m eagerly awaiting the full release: I want to figure out what’s really happening with the world and story. I have some minor complaints, but they are minor stylistic choices or general problems all games

Fate of Fantos: The Iridium Wars review — Dune meets Vampire: The Eternal Struggle

Fate of Fantos feels like a throwback to an older era – with all the good and ill that comes with that. The premise is kinda like “What if Dune got smashed together with Vampire: The Eternal Struggle?” – not only in theme, but also mechanics. In Fate of Fantos, Fantos is

World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King review — Not half baked, still frozen.

I was underwhelmed and disappointed: it’s just way too easy. I wanted to like World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King (WoW:WotLK) – I really did. I love Warcraft. I played Warcraft: Orcs & Humans when it first came out. I remember the early days of Warcraft II

The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game Revised Core Set Review – A great game is what lies ahead

If I were reviewing The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game (TLotR:TCG) as a whole, I’d give it a 95, with it’s biggest flaw being that it isn’t Arkham Horror: The Card Game (AH:TCG) (the best co-op deck construction game in my opinion). However,

Free Radicals Review – A party trick with legs

Outside of Gùgōng and games made by Vita Lacerda, I can’t recall the last time I’ve had this much fun with a Euro. I also can’t recall the last time I had players eagerly, immediately, and unanimously request that we reset the game and play again right

Dune: Imperium review ⏤ You must not fear

If you haven’t played Dune: Imperium, you probably should: 100/100. /end_review Wait, wait – before you go off to buy Dune: Imperium, the story is a little more complicated than a one line summary. Yes, I think it’s 100/100. Yes, I think you should probably play

Merchants of the Dark Road review – In the grim darkness of winter, there is only trading

Merchants of the Dark Road is a solid trading/pick-up-and-deliver game with excellent production values. The game is set in the fantasy world of Lumi, where the entirety of Winter is spent in darkness. In the game, players take the role of merchants who buy, sell, transport, and deliver heroes

Brew Review ⏤ Good, but not what was expected

Let me preface this review by stating that I like Brew and have had a ton of fun playing. It is a game that will be remaining in my collection for a while. However… Brew has a fairly significant degree of randomness and is an extremely deceptive game. I don’
