Parks and Potions Board Game Review
I always enjoy a game I can experience with a more casual group of board game players, and Parks and Potions scratches that itch. Whether playing with my kids or friends who aren’t into medium or heavy board game, each experience playing Parks and Potions has been a pleasant one. Although it’s not the best game I’ve played in the last few years, it’s still an enjoyable experience that I’d almost always be willing to play, even if perhaps I…
A Place For All My Books Components Overview and Impressions
You ever cracked into a board game only to say, “Did I get the deluxe edition?” That was the feeling I got when opening up A Place For All My Books for the first time. The production here is phenomenal, and after seeing the deluxe version at GenCon 2025, this might be the first time I tell consumers, “You really don’t need the deluxe edition!” Once you pop the top off the box you’ll get your eyes on the rulebook…
7 Wonders Dice Board Game Review
7 Wonders has always been a favourite of ours, and as the design team has added games to the 7 Wonders universe – 7 Wonder Duel and 7 Wonders Architects – we’ve come to love the games more and more. Although nothing compares to base 7 Wonders in my opinion, everything that has come after has been phenomenal. Add to that list, as of this week, 7 Wonders Dice! In 7 Wonders Dice, players will be purchasing dice from the…
Adding to Wondrous Creatures – Expansions Impressions
Wondrous Creatures was one of the best games we played in 2024, and for about a year I kept checking my local game stores to see if they had any of the expansions available for us to purchase and review. And I was always met with the same response: sold out. Thanks to our friends at Bad Comet Games, we finally ended up with both expansions for Wondrous Creatures, Gargantuan Beasts and the Crew Set. Crew Set The Crew Set…
Excited for New Animal Crossing Content, But…
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is one of my favourite Nintendo Switch games of all time – perhaps it was COVID, or perhaps it was just a solid game, but when this game launched on the Nintendo Switch, I played it for hundreds of hours. When Nintendo announced a Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game, and new content coming, I was really excited, but also just a bit disappointed. First and foremost, I think it’s good to acknowledge two things.…
Tabriz Components Overview and Impressions
Tabriz has been a game on my radar for a long time, but after checking it out at GenCon 2025, I knew it was a game I needed to purchase sooner rather than later. The game looks phenomenal, and I love the cover art a lot. But can this game about a carpet maker in a Persian Market hit the right notes? I think the components says it will! Inserts are king, and Tabriz comes with one. That’s enough to…
Snoopy and the Great Mystery Club: A Charming Adventure
Snoopy and the Great Mystery Club is an easy going, low stakes adventure perfectly tailored for young Peanuts fans and casual gamers. It thrives entirely on the charm of its characters, featuring wonderful voice acting and a visual style reminiscent of both the classic comic strip and movies. While the gameplay is simple, relying heavily on fetch quests and light puzzling it succeeds in creating a heartwarming and authentic Peanuts experience which I loved. Pure Peanuts Charm From the moment…
Jurassic World Evolution 3 The Third Time’s the Charm
Having played each game in the series I found it getting better and better Jurassic World Evolution 3 keeps up with the trend of greatness. Jurassic World Evolution isn’t just a park simulator, it’s a meticulously crafted, high stakes babysitting service for creatures that view a jeep as a tasty little appetizer. This sequel builds upon the successful foundations of the series, finally giving us the tools we need to create true prehistoric paradises with many new additions and depth.…
7 Wonders Dice Components Overview and Impressions
There is surprisingly little in the box for 7 Wonders Dice, although that might be expected for a dice game. there are only a few dice as well, so I was a bit shocked by the size of the box. It all came into focus when I opened it up, though, and overall things look pretty impressive. At roughly $33 CAD, the cost based on what’s in the box – outside of the gameplay – seems rather reasonable. Inside you’ll…
Wroth Board Game Review
I have never been a big fan of area control games, but when Wroth was released I kept hearing that it was a great experience, including for those who dislike area control games. After a few games of Wroth, I’ve come to realize why that’s true. Not only is it a tight 60 minute experience, but playing as the various factions is a lot of fun, even when you come up just short! In Wroth, up to four players will…
