7 Wonders has always been a favourite of ours, and as the design team has added games to the 7 Wonders universe – 7 Wonder Duel and 7 Wonders Architects – we’ve come to love the games more and more. Although nothing compares to base 7 Wonders in my opinion, everything that has come after has been phenomenal. Add to that list, as of this week, 7 Wonders Dice! In 7 Wonders Dice, players will be purchasing dice from the…

Wondrous Creatures was one of the best games we played in 2024, and for about a year I kept checking my local game stores to see if they had any of the expansions available for us to purchase and review. And I was always met with the same response: sold out. Thanks to our friends at Bad Comet Games, we finally ended up with both expansions for Wondrous Creatures, Gargantuan Beasts and the Crew Set. Crew Set The Crew Set…

Tabriz has been a game on my radar for a long time, but after checking it out at GenCon 2025, I knew it was a game I needed to purchase sooner rather than later. The game looks phenomenal, and I love the cover art a lot. But can this game about a carpet maker in a Persian Market hit the right notes? I think the components says it will! Inserts are king, and Tabriz comes with one. That’s enough to…

There is surprisingly little in the box for 7 Wonders Dice, although that might be expected for a dice game. there are only a few dice as well, so I was a bit shocked by the size of the box. It all came into focus when I opened it up, though, and overall things look pretty impressive. At roughly $33 CAD, the cost based on what’s in the box – outside of the gameplay – seems rather reasonable. Inside you’ll…

I have never been a big fan of area control games, but when Wroth was released I kept hearing that it was a great experience, including for those who dislike area control games. After a few games of Wroth, I’ve come to realize why that’s true. Not only is it a tight 60 minute experience, but playing as the various factions is a lot of fun, even when you come up just short! In Wroth, up to four players will…

Illiterati from Gap Closer Games is one of our favourite word games ever, and we still get a ton of play out of it all these years later. We reviewed that game way back when it launched, and highly recommended it. Now, Gap Closer Games is launching another campaign for a brand new expansion for the game, Red Herrings & White Roses. You can checkout the campaign page and get notified when this product launches for crow funding! Here is…

There is no doubt that Chip Theory Games makes phenomenal board games – you can see why by checking out our The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era content. When Andrew from Chip Theory reached out with the opportunity to review Wroth a few months ago, we had to say yes. Spoilers, the game is fantastic, but we will get to that later. What we are discussing here today is how good the production is. Spoilers again – it…

Splendor Kids is one of the first games released in the asmodee Kids lineup of titles, and they set the bar really high with this experience. The components are obviously fantastic, as we discussed, but the way the game is built from the ground up with kids in mind is fantastic. One thing I never noticed when doing my components overview was the purpose of the stickers on the resource tray. My assumption at the time was that these stickers…

Our good friends at Ravensburger sent over a booster box of Fabled, the latest release in the Disney Lorcana franchise. I was super excited for this release simply because it featured a good number of cards from the Goofy Movie. As one of my favourite movies of all time, having Petey, Powerline, Max and more was an exciting prospect. By the time I opened up all 24 packs, I think I had almost all the Goofy Movie cards. But something…

I’ve been having a lot of fun playing Railroad Tiles with friends and family, and it’s probably one of my favourite games right now. Not only is it easy to setup and play, but it’s quite easy to teach as well, especially for those who have played the predecessor to this, Railroad Ink. I thought Horrible Guild was being a bit ambitious when they launched seven expansions alongside the base game for their Kickstarter campaign, but so far these expansions…
