New Terminology, New Mechanics – Looking at Bounty / Bounties in Star Wars Unlimited

Last week, Asmodee Canada and Fantasy Flight Games sent over a few of the products that will be launching in stores when the second set of Star Wars Unlimited hits store shelves. While many trading card games will run a few sets before changing some key game mechanics - i.e., Disney adding Locations in their third release), Fantasy Flight Games has opted to make a change right away with the second set, and what we can expect is looking pretty promising.

Rise of Babel Board Game First Impressions

I originally reached out to Bedouin Games when their game The Flood was funded and heading out to backers after their successful crowdfunding campaign. Although we haven’t had the chance to look at The Flood yet – very soon, we hope! – Elijah was kind enough to send over their next game coming to crowdfunding, Rise of Babel. Once again a Bible themed game, Rise of Babel will have players building decks and playing cards throughout the game attempting to…

Is the Wiltopia Line from Playmobil the Best from the Company?

Playmobil has been around for a very long time, and over the past 2 or 3 years, we’ve been privileged to work with Playmobil and review a ton of their products. I need to say off the top that we believe that Playmobil is one of the top 3 or 4 toys of all time, and definitely in the top 3 of toys we have reviewed since we started doing Toy Reviews back in 2018. Even though we have liked…

Clash of Galliformes 1

Clash of Galliformes Board Game Review

Clash of Galliformes is a bit of an odd ball game - it definitely wasn’t what I was expecting, and honestly based on the look of the game I was a bit shocked it did so well on Kickstarter when it originally launched. Yes, there is something about this game that is oddly attractive, and I love how the game is set up for the players, by the players, making each game feel at least somewhat different to start. There will be unit placement, resource management, and so much more! Let’s take a look at Clash of Galliformes!

Bitoku Board Game Review

Looking at Bitoku, you would be forgiven if you thought you were in for one of the most complicated games of your life. While on the surface this appears to be true, once you’ve learned the turn-by-turn structure of the game, things begin to flow really well and then it’s just about decisions, as opposed to wondering what might happen if you do x, y or z. Bitoku still isn’t a light game, and is probably bordering on that heavy…

Doomlings Expansions Overview and Thoughts

Doomlings was a game my family really enjoyed, and I’m so glad that the company sent over a copy of the game for us to play. Honestly, it is a game I’ve been looking at for a long time, and while I’m not opposed to purchasing games myself, we have so many come through the office that even if I do purchase games, they often sit in shrink for months. With a review opportunity, I HAD to play Doomlings, and…
