If you’ve never played an Azul game before there is a chance you are missing out on something you might really enjoy. With so many different versions to choose from, Azul brings a common tile laying mechanic but changes it up game-to-game. I’ve had the pleasure of playing a ton of Azul over the past half decade, and while it’s not my favourite game to bust out on game night anymore, I was intrigued when Asmodee Canada offered up the…

Cooperative games are on the rise right now, and with the continued success of Star Wars shows on Disney+, it makes sense that there would be a cooperative Star Wars experience for board game fans to sink their teeth into. Not surprisingly, the choice to headline that cooperation was The Mandalorian, one of the most popular original shows on Disney+, and many people’s favorite piece of Star Wars work. I was a bit skeptical of how good a mass market…

Star Wars is a hot intellectual property right now – with the recent launch of a bevy of Disney+ shows, there are brand new lines of toys, board games, video games, and more. Another thing that is hot right now? Cooperative board games, so it makes good sense for there to be a cooperative Mandalorian based board game for folks to sink their teeth into. But before we even get this to the table, let’s talk about the quality of…

The designer of An Age Contrived recently sent over the deluxified version of his game, An Age Contrived. Generally, we turn around board game reviews pretty quickly, but there was a lot of setup involved in this game. For the record, this review is based on this super deluxe version which included metal player “boards” – that being said, the core functions of the game remain unchanged, and outside of the deluxified player “board”, the other items are ...

There is something to be said about small box games that pack a powerful punch. What do I mean by that? I mean a small game with only a few components that is easy to table and tons of fun to play. After about a half dozen games of Alpina, that is exactly how I would classify this game. With only a handful of cards and some wooden player pieces, you can enjoy hours of puzzly entertainment that’s easy for…

Horrified: World of Monsters takes the traditional Horrified systems and turns them a bit on end by making you play as …. Monsters? That’s right, things are just a bit different this time around, although the real pull for many Horrified fans will be the new baddies brought into this edition of the game. This is actually my first Horrified game experience, so I had to go back and try others before putting this review together. And honestly, for better…

Gnome Hollow is a gorgeous game and is using magnetized player boards, something we don't see often! Let's check it out!

I wasn't initially excited for Umbrella, but the production is so dang good! Now it's time to play this beautiful game!

Wireless Headsets seem to be releasing at a fast and furious pace, and all the big players are launching bigger and more impressive devices with more bells and whistles than any one person actually needs. That being said, the difference between a mid-range headset and a high end headset is noticeable, and that’s what we found when testing out the Arctis Nova Pro from SteelSeries. The Arctis Nova Pro wireless design has been drastically changed from the ...

Google is launching brand new Pixel devices under the Pixel 9 naming convention, and we couldn't be more excited!
