Good evening everyone, in the first of several backlog reviews, I will go over a co-op game that Amanda, Hector, Eddie and myself sat down to play some time ago; Endangered.

Amanda and I were joined as usual by our faithful owlbears Hector and Eddie for a quick, but certainly not light, game of Onitama. Onitama is ostensibly a game about dueling martial arts schools, but is really a very... Continue Reading →
Philosophia: Dare to be Wise

Here to Slay
Today Kage, Hector, Eddie and I broke out our kickstarter edition of Here to Slay, by the same people who made Unstable Unicorns. Firstly, obviously the art is great. The placemats are super cute, and I love that each creature had its own class (squirrels were bards, unicorns were guardians and so on). The components... Continue Reading →

The Big Book of Madness
Welcome back everyone! Amanda and I are joined today by Hector and our new owlbear Eddie for a game of the big book of madness, which for a game published by Iello, is surprisingly complex and deep. While it can be said that any board game is basically an exercise in probability management wrapped in... Continue Reading →
Dune: Imperium
Welcome back everyone. This evening Amanda, Hector and myself decided to play a around of Dune: Imperium. This was one of the most anticipated games of 2020, and although we've had our copy for quite some time, we were planning to save it until we could have a full compliment of 4 players. Unfortunately our... Continue Reading →
