A brand new set of Disney Lorcana decks have arrived with the Shimmering Skies expansion. Are these worth playing?

7 Wonders and 7 Wonders Duel are two games that I have many fond memories of playing. Not only are they great games, but they are easy to teach as well, so they make great experiences to share with other people. When I first saw Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle Earth at Asmodee’s Canada Plays event this past year, I couldn’t wait to have the final copy in my hands. That day has arrived! Almost everything about the…

We recently just finished up a review cycle for the game Root, and we were thrilled to see there was an RPG world based on the game!

The Halloween season is upon us, and that means an uptick in Halloween themed board games for our gaming group to enjoy. We generally are playing games for 4 to 5 players, but recently a little 2-Player (and three player if you so choose) game has been hitting the table a lot. Yes, part of that is because we need to review it, but it’s getting back to the table again and again because it’s really fun! Two player board…

We’ve been playing Rock Hard 1977 from Devir over the past few weeks and have really been enjoying the games theme, and how it’s woven into both the mechanics and the components as well. As we almost always do, it’s time to take a look at the components in this game, and let you know what we think of them! Let’s get going! As with all Devir games, I have one thing I need to write about off the top…

The Kinfire Delve series was one that caught me off guard a bit – I wasn’t expecting it, wasn’t sure what it was all about, and honestly questioned whether I really wanted to review it or not. Here at GamesReviews, we get a ton of opportunities to review games, and we turn down just as many as we accept. I was SO close to turning down Kinfire Delve, but after some thought decided it would be a good game for…

I’m on the fence when it comes to games with gimmicks built into them. What is a gimmick in the board game space? It’s something that perhaps you haven’t seen before, that does something “cool”, and maybe is used as a means to sell a game, rather than the game mechanics themselves. Four Gardens from Arcane Wonders has a massive gimmick, both in how it is used in gameplay and how big it is on the table. But how well…

If you love anime and war gaming, there is a chance that the expandable tactical tabletop game from Japanime Games, Granblue Fantasy, might be the game you are looking for. With a wide variety of characters to collect and play with, there is always something fresh to try in this expandable world. With 3D terrain included in the box, the core set has everything you need to play, and promises tons of additional content to purchase to expand your Grandblue…

We wrote about Rolling Realms as a game a few years ago, and you can reread that review by clicking this link part of what we wrote then I will copy below, but honestly what we are talking about here is whether this is a good additional purchase for those who already own the original Rolling Realms. Wink wink, nudge nudge…it is. Here is a bit from our original review: Rolling Realms was born out of a desire to play…

Thanks to our friends at Asmodee Canada, we had the chance to take the Klink card game for a spin. I’m generally not a huge fan of small box card games, but Klink hit a bit differently, or perhaps just at the right time, and I had a blast playing game after game with friends and family. A few months back we wrote an article about the best games to take camping, and I should go back and put Klink…
