Disney Lorcana is back with another release and while there isn’t anything crazy like locations or duel inked cards to get excited about this time around, there are reasons to invest in this new set. New card rarities is a good start, but also a bunch of old cards have been reprinted in this set, so if you were looking for early Lorcana cards for your decks, they might be available now. What we are here to discuss, though, are…

If you’re a Magic: The Gathering fan, you know your deck isn’t just a pile of cards—it’s a reflection of your strategy, your style, and let’s be honest, your soul. That’s why this news is so exciting: Gamegenic, the folks behind some of the slickest gaming accessories out there, are officially partnering with Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast to create official Magic gear. The new line of accessories will make its grand debut at MagicCon Atlanta this September (26–28),…

Whenever you get to review or purchase a game that started on Kickstarter or Gamefound, you know that the retail edition of the game might not be as fancy as the deluxe, but it’s going to look really, really good. That is the case for Gems of Iridescia, a new game from a first time publisher. Although I only had access to the retail version of the game, it was still a fantastic unboxing experience with tons of great components.…

Last week, my family and I had the pleasure of sailing on Disney’s newest active cruise ship, the Disney Treasure. We will have a full review of our cruise coming up on the site in a few weeks, but there was one specific event offered throughout the voyage that 1) I was surprised by; and 2) was incredible amounts of fun. Disney Lorcana has finally invaded the High Seas, and the crew of the Disney Treasure were ready to provide…

As someone who loves cats, I’m really not a huge fan of cat themed or titled games. Isle of Cats was just OK to me, I am TERRIBLE at Boop!, and Calico is a game that I respect, but I’m terrible at so…hard pass. That said, I do love a good roll and write experience, so despite my dislike for cat themed games, I decided to take House of Cats for a spin! House of Cats comes with four different…

We’ve been playing on our Project Ironside 2.0 board game table from BoxKing Gaming for about a month now, and as I promised when we originally reviewed the table, I’m back to provide a quick (although not all that different) update. Is Project Ironside 2.0, or any board game table for that matter, worth the investment? In most cases my answer would still be a resounding NO since board game tables are so bloody expensive. But Project Ironside isn’t an…

The Lord of the Rings is one of my favourite book and movie franchises of all time, and yes, I even like the Hobbit films! Whenever a Lord of the Rings themed game comes out, I’m probably going to buy it, and I’m probably going to love it. We have had a great run of The Lord of the Rings in board game form in the past year, with games like The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the…

Every once in a while there is a board game that just wows me with it’s production, even if on the surface the game isn’t all that flashy. Enter Shackleton Base: A Journey to the Moon, a game that isn’t all that fancy at first glance, but the phenomenal production not only makes setup a breeze, but there is an enjoyment you get from the consistency that the game brings. Shackleton Base isn’t a light game by any means, and…

We recently took a look at the components for Thunder Road Vendetta: Maximum Chrome which included the base game of Thunder Road Vendetta and the first 4 expansions. This 5th expansion was released after Maximum Chrome was released, and took the game in a brand new, yet probably more chaotic (if possible) direction. For a full rundown on Thunder Road Vendetta, be sure to check out our previous articles. But for now…let’s head into the thunder dome! Thunder Road Vendetta…

I’ve recently found that a lot of board game fans are not familiar with titles from Matagot and shamefully I must add myself to that list. However, looking at their catalogue, I was pretty intrigued by their lineup of games. The Peak Team Rangers looked particularly cool, and thanks to Matagot, I was able to pickup a copy at GenCon 2025 for review. Generally, the quality of production is company wide; if a company produced a high quality game, it’s…
