The House of Da Vinci is a really great VR Puzzle title, but do all the exciting and engaging puzzles outweigh a few complaints?

My wife loves games about plants, so I knew before we started that Bontanicus was probably going to be something our gaming group enjoyed. And for the most part, I was really correct about that. It could be that I ran away with the score on more than a few occasions, or because tabling and teaching this game is a piece of cake. Either way, there is definitely a need for a larger, easy to play game in the board…

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle came out on Sunday night. I’ve been playing it a lot since then and while I’m still very early on in the game, I wanted to talk about what I’ve played so far. Spoiler Warning here just in case! Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is out now on Xbox Series. I’ve been playing it since Sunday and I just had to write about it… This game is so great! Everything from the graphics…

Ever play a game where you feel like thematically you are working together but in actuality you are competing? Me neither, but SETI almost gives me that feel as all players are working (although not together) to find alien life. As you move around the solar system and take actions, you will eventually discover aliens, and earn points based on the actions you are taking. Let’s take a look! If you haven’t yet, read our components overview. We are really…

There should be some ways in this busy world where loved ones, colleagues, or even acquaintances could connect in a meaningful way. What’s good is that the group card has become a very thoughtful, convenient, and inclusive way of merriment, comforting, or merely sharing joy over any kind of occasion. Be it birthday, farewell, holiday, or just a “just because” moment, group cards are the best to build such memories. The present article will tell why these cards are perfect…

Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: Rita’s Reward is available now! Check out the launch trailer along with our thoughts. Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: Rita’s Reward is now available for all consoles and PC. I absolutely love the look of this game. The cool animated cutscenes, the side scrolling brawling, the shooting sections and of course the awesome first person Zoid fighting! The game looks so authentic to the original Power Rangers series. The kid in me is so excited to check…

Let’s delve into a topic that’s not only entertaining but also incredibly revealing about human behavior: the integration of betting mechanics into video games. You see, the digital realm where we find ourselves immersed in fantastical worlds isn’t solely a venue for escapism or competition. It’s a sophisticated arena where we, as players, engage with concepts of risk, reward, strategy, and psychology. Consider this: when you play poker in “Red Dead Redemption 2,” or perhaps engage in a round of…

There is a growing trend with my board game group, and that trend is easy to learn games with some deep strategy. Listen, there are a few in the group who are always down to play whatever, including super complex and strategic games. But when the whole group is together, we love a game that can be taught in 15 minutes or less, with easy turn structure, but that still has some strategy. Skyrise from Roxley Games seems to fit…

There was a time when games you could play in your browser were huge. Miniclip, Habbo Hotel, Neopets – they were the lifeblood one all tweens in the early 2000s. With the rise of mobile, those days disappeared. Now it seems they’re coming back. And for those of us old enough to remember IT classes spent playing crappy Flash games, we got the short straw. Gone of the days of slow loading and terrible graphics. Us fogies are now secure…

Ravensburger was nice enough to send over a few items from the recent Disney Lorcana – Azurite Sea release, and I made a number of shocking discoveries. I’ve cooled on Disney Lorcana just a little bit as the cost of purchasing booster boxes was becoming a bit much for me. We have been reviewing the starter decks from each set thanks to Ravensburger, but this time the company stepped up and sent over the newly overhauled Gift Set and perhaps…
