Repos Productions makes some pretty nice games, and the production quality of those games are always pretty good. When I saw what Waterfall Park was, I was a bit skeptical of the entire system. It all felt really gimmick to me, and I quickly assumed it likely wasn’t going to work well. Now that I’ve played and checked out the components myself, here is what I think! I love how everything in this game is really bright and vibrant. This…

Monster Hunter World: The Board Games comes in a really big box, regardless of whether you get the Wildspire Waste set or the Ancient Forest Set. Each has its own unique fighters and monsters, but the core concepts remain the same. I’ve had the chance to begin my ‘campaign’ to play each of these games, and have come away quite impressed. Video games adapted to board games don’t always go as planned – this one does, and captures the essence…

I absolutely love unboxing a brand new board game, even when I know what components are going to be inside. Monster Hunter World: The Board Game is something else, with so many great components inside, and one small issue. Let’s take a look at what you get from Monster Hunter World: Wildspire Waste and Monster Hunter World: Ancient Forest! I could treat these as two unboxing experiences, but that seems silly as each box is essentially identical in what you…

Of all the 2023 Star Wars: Shatterpoint releases, my father-in-law was looking forward to Cad Bane and the Fistfull of Credits Squad Pack. Cad Bane is one of his favourite Star Wars characters, so to have him available in Star Wars: Shatterpoint was a really big deal. But how does this character stack up when finally on the table? How is the secondary character, and the supports? Let’s take a look! Cad Bane The big thing with Cad Bane is…

I’ve been playing board games for well over a decade now, and have amassed a huge collection of games. Add to that the access to games I have because of my gaming group, and I’ve had the privilege of playing hundreds of games. Cooperative games have always been something I enjoy, so in this article we will look at my top 3 cooperative board games. Editor’s Note: I have not played every game known to man, and there are popular…

It’s not often that there is a Disney Villainous release that isn’t an “expandalone” title, that being a game that is an expansion but can also be played on its own. When we saw that Filled With Fright, featuring Oogie Boogie, was going to be available, my wife knew she had to have it. As a long time Nightmare Before Christmas fan, it was an expansion we wanted to add to our collection. Thanks to Ravensburger, we had the chance…

If you’ve played Ticket to Ride in the past, a lot of what is in the Ticket to Ride Legacy box will be familiar to you. However, even I was shocked by how big this box was, which makes me really excited for what is to come across the 12 games my wife and I have planned. This is a much more expensive Ticket to Ride experience than just buying a stand-alone game, but early reviews seem promising. At the…

I’m a huge Disney fan – if you were to walk into my house today you would see Disney LEGO sets adorning shelves, Disney Blu Rays in the basement…basically Disney everywhere. Being a sucker for Disney board games, whether good or bad, recently we had the chance to play Disney Sorcerers Arena. I’m always a little sceptical of arena games, but this one does it right, while also being accessible to a wide audience of players. Let’s take a look!…

There are two types of Ticket to Ride players: those who love their friends and want to have a fun game night, and those who are terrible human beings and just want to ruin everyone’s strategy and game. Ok, perhaps it’s not that extreme, but if you have played Ticket to Ride in the past, you know exactly what I’m talking about. There are people who are cut-throat in their approach, and will finish tickets of their own, while sabotaging…

As I’ve noted many times over the past few weeks, I’ve really been enjoying cooperative board games. I especially like when each player has their own character with special powers as it can reduce that feeling of an alpha gamer at the table. Express Route is a fantastic package delivery game that takes simplistic gameplay elements but adds a deep strategic element of planning. I wasn’t sure how much I would like this one, but after a few games, I’m…
