Despite not having my own copy of the game, I’ve had the chance to play Framecraft a few times using the Kickstarter Deluxe version of the game. The production on that game is phenomenal, with beautiful artwork and gorgeous wooden pieces, plus a neoprene mat and dragon miniatures for each player. When I saw the retail version and reached out to Lucky Duck Games about doing a review, I was a bit nervous about how I’d feel playing the retail…

Fromage came out of nowhere for me, but it’s a game I definitely wanted to have in my collection. Now that it is here, getting it to the table has been a breeze thanks to the fantastic production. While I don’t have the version of the game with all the wooden tokens, the retail release is still pretty amazing! Let’s take a look. Fromage uses a nifty mechanic where you place out workers onto the board, and at the end…

Farming Simulator 25 is now available on Nintendo Switch 2, in a way. Like when EA Sports was releasing FIFA games under the Legacy branding, Farming Simulator has released their latest title under the Signature Edition branding. This is all fine and good, but it does signal one thing before players even hop in: this won’t be the same experience you felt on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, or PC. If you go into Farming Simulator Signature Edition with the…

Pokémon Legends Z-A was overall a solid game in our opinion, despite the world leaving a lot to be desired. We really enjoyed the real-time Pokémon battle system, and the sheer number of Mega-Evolved Pokémon was really surprising! We knew when the game launched that DLC was coming before the end of the year, promising more Pokémon, more Mega-Evolutions, and a (somewhat?) new area to explore. There are times when DLC fixes issues with a main game, so is that…

Reviewing controllers takes a bit of work, and we only received two Scuf wireless controllers last week. That said, our early impressions of both the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Reflex Wireless PlayStation Controller and the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Valor Pro Wireless Xbox controller are really positive. If you are looking for a controller to get as a last minute gift, or have a few extra dollars to spend after the holidays, these controllers make fantastic…

Enthrone wasn’t a game I thought I would like that much, but the fantastic production made me want to give it a go as soon as possible. The production is out of this world good, but does the gameplay hold up? Let’s take a look! There are eight different characters in the game, and to setup each player is dealt three cards (characters) leaving two left over that no player will get to see. From the three cards you are…

I have been a fan of the Age of Empires franchise ever since the original launched so many years ago. Playing as the Egyptians, the Assyrians, and the Greeks was a blast, but things only got better with Age of Empires 2. While I don’t think anything has quite captured the feel of the second game, the entire franchise has been overlooked in my opinion, and has offered amazing experiences for decades. Since the push to rerelease these games –…

We’ve only focused on a few major toy brands over the past year, namely LEGO and Playmobil, but there is one toy we reviewed a few years ago that continues to impress my kids month in and month out. Gravitrax is the marble building toy of your dreams, and whether you are six years old, or sixty years old, there is a ton to love about Gravitrax. Check out all the great sets from Ravensburger! The toy itself is easy…

At this point is comical the number of times Skyrim has been released on different platforms. You can say that this is just an upgrade patch for those who own the Anniversary edition of Skyrim on the original Nintendo Switch, but by all accounts this is technically another release of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, so we must treat it as such. When the game launched on the Nintendo Switch, it was wildly impressive that a game of this scale…

I’m not always a fan of board games getting expansions. That isn’t because they aren’t fun, it’s just that our group gets the same game tabled so little, does owning and expansion even worth it? What I do love are expansions that easily fold into the base game, provide only a little more time to teach, and make the experience so much better. We loved In the Footsteps of Darwin, and the Correspondence expansion just makes it better. The expansion…

As much as I like big and grandiose board game experiences, having a few filler games with killer strategy is always important too. So often we finish a large board game and have 45 minutes left in our game night, and filling those moments and getting the most out of everyone being in the same room can be tough. Enter In the Footsteps of Darwin, a fantastic tile laying game where players look for animals, score points, and see who…

Far to often, board games that we may classify as simpler experiences often get sub-par productions. I understand why – I think the less a game is for hardcore gamers, the more likely the production quality doesn’t matter as much. In the Footsteps of Darwin is a fairly simple board game experience, but the design team has done a fantastic job making this feel like a very premium experience. Even my kids were impressed by the quality of this ...

I’ve been playing a bit of Two Point Museum: Zooseum over the past week, and I have to say that I’m really impressed with what the Two Point Studios team has been doing. Between this DLC release and Fantasy Finds, this is such a fantastic package and is so worth the price you will pay for entry. Zooseum does a lot of different things with this release, which some people are going to dislike, but I think most people will…

2025 has been a good year for board games – we have played and reviewed over a hundred games this year, and it’s hard to whittle that list down to a top 5. While there are a ton of great candidates for this list, here are our favourite board games of 2025! Number 5 – Shallow Seas  Shallow Seas was a game I was interested in solely because of the publisher, Bad Comet Games. I love what Bad Comet has…
