Board Games News

Having games that my younger kids can play is a huge plus, and Monki fits the need. This two player game only takes about 15 minutes to play, and can be setup and taught in less than 5 minutes! Are you ready to search some temples for loot to fill out your board? Let's dive in!

Dice Legacy mixes two genres I really enjoy - strategy and board games. Combining the two has created one of the more unique video game titles I had the opportunity to play in 2022, and my mind keeps working on how this could possibly turn into a board game! While I think that's probably off the table - pun intended - there is a lot to love about Dice Legacy on PC and Nintendo Switch.

I have said it on here multiple times, but my wife and I are always looking for new two-player games to play at home, and while we've been playing a bunch of them over the past few weeks, Tea for 2 is one that gets onto the table again and again. Join up with some of your favourite characters from Alice in Wonderland, and let's see how it plays!

If you haven't read my review of the fantastic board game Tapestry, than hop over to that article and check it out. Tapestry is easily one of my top 5 games of all time, and with so much content via a few expansion packs, every game feels new and unique, even after a dozen or more plays. A few months back, the good people at Stonemaier Games sent over the latest expansion - Arts and Architecture. Let's check it out.

7 Wonders is one of my favourite board games, but with so many games to play and only one scheduled board game night per week, it's not one we get to the table often. Every Thursday a group of friends sits down to play one of the best new board games available on the market, and often times, it's not something old. During the rest of the week, it is just my wife and I, and two player games are the cats meow! Enter 7 Wonders Duel, a perfect game that closely represents that feeling of the main game, but is designed specifically for two players! Let's hop in!

As GamesReviews has gone deeper and deeper into the board game review and news arena, we've had the opportunity to review and play a lot of interesting games. In all my time reviewing, Story Cubes might be the most non-game, game I've ever played, and while I was skeptical as I read the information sent over by the PR company, the actual product is really interesting and a ton of fun. Especially in the car!

I am of two opinions when it comes to Kickstarter - it's fantastic for board games but absolutely awful for video games. Thankfully, today's article is about a game I can't wait to put in front of my kids, and that is Catapult Feud. Catapult Feud has been out for a while, but the team has worked on another expansion for the game called Hydra, which offers new gameplay opportunities and more possible destruction. What is Catapult Feud all about, however? Let's take a quick look:

If you are relatively new to the board game world - and in this instance, games like Monopoly, The Game of Life, and yes even Catan do not count - there are a few games we like to call gateway experiences to the wider world of detailed, specific games. Ticket to Ride is currently sitting on the cusp of the casual versus hardcore board game players, but it is still an excellent title to get to the table for those less savvy friends and family.

If you've ever travelled down to my basement you'll see shelves and shelves of board and card games. At this present, we are not quite sure how many games we own, but that number is easily above 150.

Splendor, a fantastic title that we really enjoyed for months on end, is one of those games collecting dust, but a brand new crossover is happening which is bringing it back to our ...
