ENHANCE Gen Con previews — Tipping the scales with their dragon hide collection

Little fun fact about myself, I’m vegan! That’s partly why I was super pleased we got a chance to talk to ENHANCE at this year’s Gen Con! We gave them a best of Gen Con award last year and they’re back at it again with their

Kapow! Gen Con 2022 preview — Dice slinging with a bang

One of the first games we had the fortune of previewing at Gen Con this year was Kapow! Published by Wise Wizard Games, Kapow is a zingy, modular, asymmetric, 1v1 dice slinging duel. Two players sit opposite each other divided by huge player screens. After rolling their dice, they assign

Pathfinder: Level 20 review — Family friendly kobold shenanigans

Ever heard of Tucker’s kobolds? You should. They’re one of the greatest legends in all of tabletop gaming. Back in the 80’s, a DM named Tucker jollied in tormenting his players with mere kobolds. His little kobolds, each with 1-4 hp, would set traps, shoot crossbows from

Tome: The Gold Codex review — Now the brownie is slightly thicker and slightly less pokey

In my review for the base game, Tome: Light Edition, I illustrated a silly analogy about pokey brownies. Continuing said analogy, Tome: The Gold Codex, an expansion to Tome: Light Edition, slightly reduces the amount of cactus spines, thickens the brownies a bit, and adds several new flavors! Included in

Tome: The Light Edition review — A mouthwateringly appetizing fudge brownie riddled with tiny cactus spines and disappointingly shallow

Mmmmmmm! What’s that smell? There! By the oven! A large tray of freshly baked brownies lulls me over, still warm and gooey. But, what’s this? Dozens of cactus spines perforate the surface. They’ll have to be removed before I can claim my fudgy prize. Several painful pokes

Tomorrow Dies Today review — A gold egg in a rat nest

Time for a weird analogy. Imagine a decently sized gold egg firmly ensnared within a thick matted heap of a rat nest. Glistering gold beams pierce the surface, taunting, begging for freedom. It’s in there. Right there. Just waiting to be untangled. Except, after hours upon hours of meticulous

Gimme That review — Haha, you thought you could count to 100 didn’t you? FOOL

I absolutely love chaos. An ability to consistently draw blood has always been a good indication I would love a game, and boy does this little box have some fangs. Welcome to Gimme That! 3-8 players are given a sheet with ten rows of ten potatoes, and tasked with the

Dream Crush review — I’ve got a new crush, and so do you

Some of the most delicious foods I’ve ever tasted were jam packed with rich complex flavors, made of the finest ingredients, and meticulously crafted through hours of arduous and delicate labor, and some were plain old fruit, like a plump perfectly ripe mango gently plucked from the tree. Go
