We have played and reviewed a ton of Western Legends content so far, including the base game, the Blood Money expansion, and the Ante Up expansion. But there is so much more you can pick up for the game, some of which we have to talk about today, and others we still haven’t tried! But what do we recommend picking up, and which should you pass on? Let’s take a look! First and foremost, if Western Legends is one of…

Like with our review of the Blood Money expansion, we are tackling the Ante Up expansion review in a similar way – we will highlight what is new to Western Legends and whether or not you will want to add any of these modules to your game. If you haven’t yet, check out why we think Blood Money  is a great add to your Western Legends experience! Alright, let’s look at Ante Up! Before diving into all the modules, we…

Welcome back to the Wild West, where robbing banks is as encouraged as capturing bandits! Western Legends was released over a decade ago, and in my review of the base game I noted that I was super disappointed to have missed this game all those years ago. I enjoyed the base game so much that Kolossal Games sent over a slew of expansions and extra content, including Blood Money! Let’s explore what comes in the box, and which parts of…

Barony is a game full of knights, towns, and castles, but when you boil it down, it’s a fairly abstract game for 2-5 players. Still, an impressive look is always well worth it, so abstract or not, there was a ton of potential in the Royal Edition of Barony. The original Barony, released in 2015, was actually quite loved, both for the gameplay and the look. The buildings were really neat, some with some 3D effects that provided some depth,…

A lot of original Nintendo Switch titles are getting patches to work on Nintendo Switch 2, and here are just a few of the games we feel need to take advantage of the Nintendo Switch 2 mouse support via updates and patches! Let’s get going! Two Point Series: At the time of writing, the Nintendo Switch does not currently have a version of Two Point Museum available, but we assume that will be coming at any time now. When that…

A bunch of media in the United States and Canada were given extended hands on time with Donkey Kong Bananza, and as someone who wasn’t, and then was, excited for the game, I watched and read as much as I could. With only a few weeks to go until the game launches, I’ve never been more excited. Let’s talk through some of the comments! First and foremost, Nintendo has confirmed that it is the Super Mario Odyssey team working on…

Party Games have never been my forte, but recently we have been having larger than normal board game nights. Games like That Sound Game are perfect when the number of players climbs above six, so getting this to the table recently has been pretty easy. While I still don’t love party games as a whole, this one surprised me in ways I wasn’t expecting, and made the evening enjoyable for all, I think! In That Sound Game, players will be…

Despite being a massive Disney fan – we vacation and/or cruise almost yearly at Walt Disney World or on Disney Cruise Line – I’m saddened to say that I did not realize that 626 Day was a thing. Well guess what, it is. The LEGO Group is here to celebrate that mischievous alien, Stitch, also known as Experiment 626, on 626 Day! Honestly, if Mario can have March 10th, then why can’t Stitch have June 26th? With the latest Lilo…

Santorini isn’t a game I’ve really enjoyed a ton. If someone wants to play it I’m going to play it, but I’m VERY poor at the game overall. Still, the concepts and ideas behind the game, including the plethora of God Cards that significantly change how the game is played, have always intrigued me. When Roxley originally reached out to us to help promote the Kickstarter for a cooperative expansion, I was intrigued. I love a great cooperative experience, and…

GamesReviews has entered into a partnership with BoxKing to review some current products, and future products as well. To that end, the tables, mats, accessories and more were all provided by BoxKing. That said, our reviews, as always, are our own, so let’s get into the first magnificent BoxKing item: the BoxThrone! I always like to talk about negatives first, and my only complaint – and is it really a complaint? – would be the price. While Project ...

Rune Factory has never been my favourite cozy / farming / RPG experience for a variety of reasons, but mostly I found all the different systems involved a bit too much for my liking. I know others LOVE the Rune Factory franchise, and I readily admit that it’s one of the larger and more loved franchises available on console. Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma just felt different, and while my time with other Rune Factory games is pretty limited, this…

My wife and I are always looking for games our kids can play together. We can only play so many games of Catan Jr. and Carcassonne Jr. before we need something else to occupy their time. When I was at Canada Plays 2025 sponsored by Asmodee Canada, I got a quick demo of Toy Battle and I was immediately intrigued. If you are older, you might remember grabbing any action figure you could get your hands on and having a…

A few weeks ago we reviewed the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim as part of our recent run of Elder Scrolls content. Recently, Modiphius sent over the From the Ashes expansion for the game, as well as the metal coins you can get. Both have been put to use in the last few weeks and while it’s not a ton of new content, it’s enough to keep things interesting in your main campaign. From the Ashes includes a ton of new…

A few weeks ago, we wrote at length about the components of Tabletop Inc. Over the past few weeks, we’ve been tabling this game quite a bit, and while we definitely have some problems with the game, it keeps coming back which is a good sign. First and foremost, it’s worth noting that Tabletop Inc. is a quite unique game, so if you are looking for something that goes against the grain quite a bit, then I think this is…

Although it is only a month away, Donkey Kong Bananza cannot come soon enough in my opinion. There has been a lot of chatter about the lack of first party experiences for the Nintendo Switch 2, but once Donkey Kong launches on July 17th, I imagine that rhetoric will die down very quickly. Although I was less than impressed by this new Donkey Kong adventure when the game was first announced and shown off, I’ve come full circle after the…
