Reef Project is yet another beautifully detailed game from Board and Dice, and after looking at a number of their games – Windmill Valley, Minos, Books of Time – it has become very apparent that we should only expect the best when it comes to a Board and Dice production. While this game has a lot more cardboard components, and perhaps lacks the big flashy pieces or ideas of the other games, it’s still an impressive production. When I say…

Disney Cruise Line vacations are not inexpensive, but the value you get on a cruise is definitely worth it in my opinion. We have been enjoying the entertainment on Disney Cruise Line for well over a decade, and next week we sail for the first time as Platinum guests! But why do I think there is so much value? Let’s take a look! First and foremost, this is not about which cruise line is best. I’ve only ever sailed on…

I’ve been playing board games for a long time now, but I can still remember the first games I played when I first got into the hobby. In this article I’ll rank those games and talk about what I like about them still, or reasons I don’t play them anymore! Let’s get started! Catan – Catan is a game I just don’t play anymore, and almost nothing is going to get me to play them unless there is a group…

I don’t think anyone will ever say that AllPlay doesn’t produce really nice games, and they generally do so at an amazing price. We have reviewed a number of their small box games before – check out our thoughts on Lure and Oddland – but this is the first medium sized game we’ve reviewed from them. There is a ton of stuff in this box, and while the gameplay is pretty simple and straightforward, the amount of components might be…

Between the release of the last two DLC packs for Disney Dreamlight Valley, I took a really long hiatus from the game. It wasn’t that the game wasn’t fun anymore, but other priorities starting creeping in. We had a ton of Nintendo games to review, a lot of board games to finish, and so much more. Unfortunately, Disney Dreamlight Valley was just push to the backburner, and eventually it just fell off the stove. Puns aside, sometimes it takes a…

If you’ve been reading our site for a while, you know we absolutely love most of what IV Studio releases each year. In fact, we’ve heralded them as our favourite designer two years running, which is a pretty impressive feat. We love the universes IV Studio creates, with Moonrakers being one of our favourites. Moonrollers is set in that same universe, and as a gaming group that loves dice games, we really wanted to check this one out. IV Studio…

OnePlus is doing what they do, what all companies do that is, and have released a cheaper version of their flagship smart phone. The OnePlus 15 has been out for a while, but on the 17th the OnePlus 15R launched taking the very expensive OnePlus 15 and making it quite a bit cheaper. Side to side, you won’t see a ton of differences right off the top. The OnePlus 15R is built with the exact same materials as the OnePlus…

When a game consists of almost only cards, there isn’t many ways the production can go wrong. The cards are either good quality or they aren’t. But what sets a card game apart from it’s competitors in the production realm is the art. We just recently did a components unboxing and overview of Flamecraft which featured art from Sandara Tang. Guess what, we’ve got another Sandara Tang design here as well, and it makes this game pop like nothing else.…

Despite not having my own copy of the game, I’ve had the chance to play Framecraft a few times using the Kickstarter Deluxe version of the game. The production on that game is phenomenal, with beautiful artwork and gorgeous wooden pieces, plus a neoprene mat and dragon miniatures for each player. When I saw the retail version and reached out to Lucky Duck Games about doing a review, I was a bit nervous about how I’d feel playing the retail…

Fromage came out of nowhere for me, but it’s a game I definitely wanted to have in my collection. Now that it is here, getting it to the table has been a breeze thanks to the fantastic production. While I don’t have the version of the game with all the wooden tokens, the retail release is still pretty amazing! Let’s take a look. Fromage uses a nifty mechanic where you place out workers onto the board, and at the end…
