Rave reviews of this game, often compared to Terraforming Mars, have been making the rounds online and it wasn't easy to get a hold of until now. Can the game some... Continue Reading →
Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome back! Due to unfortunate health circumstances I've been unable to spend much time blogging but rest assured Amanda, Hector, Eddie and myself have not stopped playing board games.

We generally love all things that Unstable Games (Unstable Unicorns, Llamas Unleashed, etc) has put out, so it was an obvious choice to back this game... Continue Reading →
Good evening everyone, although it was not today that we played, Amanda, Hector, Eddie and myself recently sat down for a game Paladins of the West Kingdom. Paladins is a game in Shem Phillip's excellent "X of the (cardinal direction)Y" series, where Y = the West Kingdom. I originally picked this one up entirely based... Continue Reading →

Pardon our continued absence lately, we have not been playing a whole lot of new games and we decided when we started this blog that we would not re-review games unless they were of a campaign or legacy nature and several games had passed. Rest assured that we will have post campaign... Continue Reading →
