Lord of the Rings Duel: Battle for Middle Earth is one of the better 2-Player games I have ever played. This one is worth looking into!

Arcs is the latest release from Leder Games and is now available at retail after a very successful Kickstarter campaign. Leder Games was nice enough to send over the base game of Arcs, so let’s get this open and let you know what we think of the included components. Leder Games produces really nice games – nothing is every out of this world in the base box. For example, the basic components in Oath are cardboard tokens, but can be…

With STEM Day coming up on November 8, perhaps picking up the LEGO PoweredUP Freight Train would be a good idea for the kids!

Of all the LEGO Fortnite sets, my kids were most excited about the Fortnite Battle Bus! This is a fantastic set, let's take a look!

Animalcatraz has a concept that is really intriguing to me, and plays up to 8 players. It’s not often you get a game that puts animals in prison, or that can be played with so many people. It is almost an instant win in my books based on that alone, but how does it play? With the game coming to Kickstarter soon, I thought I’d give you the low-down on my experience with the game. Let’s check it out! Animalcatraz…

This Peely Bone set from LEGO is phenomenal - it's the best set I've built since the LEGO Grand Piano. That is high praise!

Project Ironside put affordable tables into your home via Kickstarter. They are now working on bigger and better projects!

We have looked at a number of LEGO DreamZzz LEGO sets in the past few weeks, and yet another one arrived from our friends at The LEGO Group. This time around, we are looking at the Never Witch’s Nightmare Creatures set, which is easily the best one we have looked at so far. You saw how positive our other LEGO DreamZzz sets were? This one is gong to be even better. But first, let’s talk about LEGO DreamZzz as a…

As a longtime YouTube streamer, trying to retain or grow my audience can be pretty tough. YouTube is, and probably always will be a hobby for me, but when I was able to monetize my video game channel a few years ago, it was a phenomenal feeling. As I work towards monetizing my second YouTube channel, No Shelf Space , I’m always looking for new ways to grow, and tools that might help me get there. Enter Gyre, a new…

Where to begin with Arcs. It’s a question I think I’ve asked with every single Leder Games title we have reviewed in the past few months, but I’m saying it yet again. There is something different and grand about Leder Games titles that you need to play to appreciate. Written words, YouTube videos, those are great. But actually holding the pieces and taking the turns is the best way to know whether a Leder Games experience is right for you.…

I've been playing Mario and Luigi: Brothership for a few days now, and I'm really impressed with where the game is headed!

It’s been over a decade since The LEGO Group released their last board game, and honestly, those original games were pretty bad. The LEGO Group has partnered with Asmodee to begin releasing a number of LEGO themed board games, the first of which is Monkey Palace. Are you the ultimate Monkey King, and have the most banana points at the end of the game? Let’s take a look. Colour doesn’t matter. That’s what the game tells you, and for the…

Age of Mythology: Retold might just be the best Age of Empires experience currently available on any platform. I'm loving it!

Over the past few months, my family has been really excited about games that are easy to learn and relatively quick to play. Survive the Island is that game to a T – easy to learn, quick to teach, and relatively quick to play. There isn’t a ton going on in this experience, which might hurt the long term appeal of the game, but it’s a great title to bust out now and then to offset longer, deeper experiences. In…

Tomten is going to be our go-to Christmas game this holiday season and for good reason - it is so accessible!
