Cozy games have taken over the Nintendo Switch, and for good reason – it is the perfect system to cozy up on the couch with to play long sessions. Roots of Pacha has been available on PC for a good long while now, and when it launched there we had a great time with it! You can read our thoughts of the PC release here . For a good overview of the game, we suggest you check out our review…

Noetopia is one of my favourite tile laying games to come out this year, and I've bought a good number!

I used to dismiss small card games as uninteresting or not worth my time, but as I get older and as we play more games as a group, I realize how valuable a quick card game really is. The other night was a great example of this – we were waiting for a 4th person to arrive to play Neotopia (review soon!) So while we waited we busted out GAP and started playing. How to Play This is not an…

Board games themed to specific seasons are not generally the most popular thing, but when they are as affordable as what Funko Games is offering this holiday season, it’s a bit easier to make the plunge. Holiday games only last for a month or so before being put away until next season, but these little games from Funko are going to make great pre-Christmas Day game nights a lot of fun, or will make excellent stocking stuffers for those board…

Over the past few years, Asmodee around the globe has been buying up smaller companies and putting all those titles under their grand banner. To many, Asmodee is the Disney of the board game world, and rightfully so. They own a ton of properties, win dozens of awards each year, and continue to push high quality games out to market. As we head into this holiday season, here are a few of the more recent games from Asmodee that we…

Negotiation games are not generally my cup-of-tea, but if a game experience is short enough, I feel less ‘robbed’ if I end up losing because I couldn’t get someone to trade with me. With negotiation games, the reasons why players may or may not negotiate with you can extend past the actual game you are playing. Best board game player in the group? Probably getting less trades. Still, since Waterfall Park is such a quick and streamlined experience, I feel…

I sometimes find it hard to review the components and the quality of components in a full length article if the game is nothing more than a set collection. That being said, Archeos Society comes with so much more in the box, and with environmentally friendly packaging. Still, does this one from Space Cowboys deserve a spot on your shelf, at least as far as component quality is concerned? Let’s take a look!   Ultimately, Archeos Society is a set…

Repos Productions makes some pretty nice games, and the production quality of those games are always pretty good. When I saw what Waterfall Park was, I was a bit skeptical of the entire system. It all felt really gimmick to me, and I quickly assumed it likely wasn’t going to work well. Now that I’ve played and checked out the components myself, here is what I think! I love how everything in this game is really bright and vibrant. This…

Monster Hunter World: The Board Games comes in a really big box, regardless of whether you get the Wildspire Waste set or the Ancient Forest Set. Each has its own unique fighters and monsters, but the core concepts remain the same. I’ve had the chance to begin my ‘campaign’ to play each of these games, and have come away quite impressed. Video games adapted to board games don’t always go as planned – this one does, and captures the essence…

Gateway games are key to the preservation and enhancement of the video game industry. They are games that get people into a genre, but rather than dumping half a million ideas and concepts, they focus on a few key things. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars is a gateway RPG that has been adored by fans for decades. With the latest relaunch of the game on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo is not only bringing back one of the best…
