How video games mirror real-world betting
Let’s delve into a topic that’s not only entertaining but also incredibly revealing about human behavior: the integration of betting mechanics into video games. You see, the digital realm where we find ourselves immersed in fantastical worlds isn’t solely a venue for escapism or competition. It’s a sophisticated arena where we, as players, engage with concepts of risk, reward, strategy, and psychology. Consider this: when you play poker in “Red Dead Redemption 2,” or perhaps engage in a round of…

Skyrise Board Game Review
There is a growing trend with my board game group, and that trend is easy to learn games with some deep strategy. Listen, there are a few in the group who are always down to play whatever, including super complex and strategic games. But when the whole group is together, we love a game that can be taught in 15 minutes or less, with easy turn structure, but that still has some strategy. Skyrise from Roxley Games seems to fit…

The Return of Browser Games
There was a time when games you could play in your browser were huge. Miniclip, Habbo Hotel, Neopets – they were the lifeblood one all tweens in the early 2000s. With the rise of mobile, those days disappeared. Now it seems they’re coming back. And for those of us old enough to remember IT classes spent playing crappy Flash games, we got the short straw.

Disney Lorcana: Azurite Sea – Product Change is a Foot!
Ravensburger was nice enough to send over a few items from the recent Disney Lorcana – Azurite Sea release, and I made a number of shocking discoveries. I’ve cooled on Disney Lorcana just a little bit as the cost of purchasing booster boxes was becoming a bit much for me. We have been reviewing the starter decks from each set thanks to Ravensburger, but this time the company stepped up and sent over the newly overhauled Gift Set and perhaps…

Star Wars Unlimited: Twilight of the Republic Set Review
A few weeks ago, Asmodee Canada sent over another review box for the latest release of Star Wars Unlimited. This release, Twilight of the Republic, is focused on the Clone Wars, with the “focal” characters being General Grievous and Ahsoka Tano. The cards within are beautiful as always, featuring characters and scenes long time Clone Wars fans will instantly recognize. For some, the characters might seem odd and there is an inability to place them in the Star Wars timeline…

Colorado Board Game Review
Flip and write, roll and write…anything and write is something our gaming group really loves, and while Colorado seemed a bit complicated when reading through the rulebook, once our group got going we realized it was a very simple game with some really deep strategic elements. In a crowded genre, however, can Colorado stick out and stick around? Let’s take a look! In Colorado, players will be trying to create suited sets of cards numbered between 1-3. On their turn,…

Botanicus Components Overview and Impressions
If a board game has plants or flowers my wife is definitely going to be interested in giving it a go – Botanicus is that kind of game, where you are planting flowers in your garden attempting to finish tasks and scoring the most points. Published by Asmodee, you knew there was going to be some environmentally conscious production decisions made, and they do not disappoint. A lot of games now are moving away from plastic baggies within the box,…

Colorado Components Overview and Impressions
Games about the wild west fascinate me more than anything else – well, perhaps with the exception of animal games – and when Asmodee Canada offered us the opportunity to review Colorado, I jumped at that chance. Colorado is a, kinda, flip and write experience where you are marking things off on your player board and the central board in an attempt to earn as many points as possible. As this is a writing game, all of the included boards…
