We reviewed that game way back when it launched, and highly recommended it. Now, Gap Closer Games is launching another campaign for a brand new expansion for the game, Red Herrings & White Roses. You can checkout the campaign page and get notified when this product launches for crow funding! Here is…

Wroth Components Overview and Impressions

There is no doubt that Chip Theory Games makes phenomenal board games – you can see why by checking out our The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era content. When Andrew from Chip Theory reached out with the opportunity to review Wroth a few months ago, we had to say yes. Spoilers, the game is fantastic, but we will get to that later. What we are discussing here today is how good the production is. Spoilers again – it…

Splendor Kids Board Game Review

Splendor Kids is one of the first games released in the asmodee Kids lineup of titles, and they set the bar really high with this experience. The components are obviously fantastic, as we discussed, but the way the game is built from the ground up with kids in mind is fantastic. One thing I never noticed when doing my components overview was the purpose of the stickers on the resource tray. My assumption at the time was that these stickers…

Fabled – Disney Lorcana’s NEW Jumping In Spot

Our good friends at Ravensburger sent over a booster box of Fabled, the latest release in the Disney Lorcana franchise. I was super excited for this release simply because it featured a good number of cards from the Goofy Movie. As one of my favourite movies of all time, having Petey, Powerline, Max and more was an exciting prospect. By the time I opened up all 24 packs, I think I had almost all the Goofy Movie cards. But something…

Railroad Tiles Expansion Review: Canals

I’ve been having a lot of fun playing Railroad Tiles with friends and family, and it’s probably one of my favourite games right now. Not only is it easy to setup and play, but it’s quite easy to teach as well, especially for those who have played the predecessor to this, Railroad Ink. I thought Horrible Guild was being a bit ambitious when they launched seven expansions alongside the base game for their Kickstarter campaign, but so far these expansions…

The OnePlus 15 “will be one of the first smartphones on…

Railroad Tiles Expansions Review: Countryside

Railroad Tiles is Horrible Guild’s follow-up to the very popular Railroad Ink, and while you won’t be rolling dice and drawing routes onto a dry erase board, you will be connecting roads, rails and more as you try to create the best network. Railroad Tiles is an arguably much better game than Railroad Ink, and that experience is only made better by a litany of expansions that are sure to excite hardcore players. I originally backed the Kickstarter campaign for…

When Hobbies Collide – Kings of Ruin like a Video Game?

For a long time now I’ve balanced my free time between playing video games and playing board games. When I first got married, the amount of time I played video games outpaced my time playing board games 4 or 5 to 1. That’s balanced out over the past decade, and now I find myself playing as many hours of board games as video games, and I’m seeing a lot of connections. I’ve jumped back into Tainted Grail: Kings of Ruin…
