Wicked will be heading back to theatres soon for the much anticipated part 2 of the series. The first movie was wildly popular, and companies jumped on the bandwagon to release toys, clothing and more. None were as popular as the LEGO sets released by the LEGO Group. In anticipation of the next film, more sets are coming. Here is a bit more from The LEGO Group: As audiences prepare for the spellbinding conclusion to the Wicked saga, the LEGO…

There isn’t a whole going on in Enthrone but that doesn’t mean the production has to suffer. The game might only last about 20 minutes, but you’ll want to play this again and again, if not for the gameplay than for the production quality! First and foremost, we got to talk about the central board. It folds out nicely and has a stained glass look to it. I think it makes moving between spaces a little harder than it needs…

I absolutely love the Harvest Moon franchise, but recent years has seen the franchise take a hit as Natsume has released less than stellar farming experiences. Things changed a bit with Winds of Anthos, which I thought was actually better than the Story of Seasons counterpart, but after playing a bit of Home Sweet Home on my Nintendo Switch 2, I cannot help but think perhaps this was an unnecessary cash grab from Natsume. Let me be clear, Harvest Moon:…

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 ...

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 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…

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…

The Dynasty Warriors franchise has never been one that I gravitated towards, but when the first Hyrule Warriors launched, I realized I quite enjoyed the various mechanics and the hack-and-slash nature of the gameplay. A few Warriors games later – including more Hyrule Warriors – and I now consider myself a fan. I got to play Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment at a Nintendo of Canada holiday event, and I was quite impressed then. I’m more impressed ...

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 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…

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…

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…

The Hobbit: There and Back Again was one of my most anticipated games of 2025, and now that it is here, I could not be more excited to get a board game down to the table. As we always do, let’s take a look at the games components, and let you know whether or not the production matches the price! In Canada, The Hobbit: There and Back Again is retailing around 31.99 CAD and we feel that this price is…

Illiterati from Gap Closer Games is one of our favourite word games ever, and we still get a ton of play out of it all these years later. 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…

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…
