Today Kage, Hector and I ventured into the world of sea dragons in Tsuro of the Seas in game 2 of 3 for today. Tsuro of the Seas is a slightly more advanced and heavier game than the original Tsuro, though both could be considered fairly light and around the same general complexity as something...

Happy boxing day everyone. Today Hector, Amanda and I sat down to play a game of Wingspan, with the European expansion. Wingspan is one of those games which I had played at a convention when it was released and then was unable to find for months because initial demand (and currently, for the expansions) vastly...

Good day friends, as both Christmas and the looming lockdown approach, Amanda and I decided to head out and pick up one more new game to add to the collection to keep us entertained for the next month, and what we found was Imperial Settlers.

I was introduced to this game via it's big brother Mage Wars Arena, which despite being in my top 10 games of all time, doesn't hit the tabletop very often anymore due it it's excessive playtime. Academy hits a lot... Continue Reading →
Today brings us to the heaviest and most lengthy game thus far as we play Through the Ages: A New Story of Civilization. Through the Ages is a deep, involved strategy game where you complete against opposing civilizations from early history through the modern age, and clocking in at a minimum of 2 and a...

Today Kage and I played Raiders of the North Sea and it was an intense battle of Vikings. One thing that is absolutely amazing about this game is the differentiation between game plays. It's a midweight worker placement euro game, and it does require some strategy, but that strategy is entirely dependent on the cards... Continue Reading →
