Over the past few weeks, my father-in-law and I have been sitting down over lunch breaks to play Lord of the Rings: Journey’s in Middle Earth. Although I purchased all of the available content for the game, we began with the starter scenario, Bones of Arnor. I call it a starter scenario, but it’s not really. It’s a great scenario that, even on it’s own, stands up as one of the best cooperative experiences I’ve had in a long time.

Over the past few weeks, we have been playing the outstanding kids game, The Quest Kids . This game is aimed at kids, but is fun for adults to play as well. We’ve played nearly half a dozen games of it so far, and I decided it would be unique to interview my son about the game, and see what he had to say.

The wait for the next Elder Scrolls experience isn’t as far away as fans might think. In fact, it’s launching soon on GameFound, and board game and non-board game enthusiasts alike can take a deep dive into the world of the Elder Scrolls. I had the chance to interview Josh Wielgus, Director of Marketing / Designer / Developer for the game. Here is what he had to say about Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era.

If you’ve been following along to my Twitter account or read some of the articles online, I took a deep dive into Lord of the Rings: Journey in Middle Earth.

Between a few ongoing campaigns, I’ve spent about 25 hours with the game so far, and have tons more to explore. ...

There are a few really popular board games available on the market, and it feels unfair that Stonemaier Games has a few of these. Two incredibly popular and in high demand games are Wingspan  and Scythe. We reviewed Wingspan and all the expansions a while ago , but despite all the Stonemaier Games reviews on the website, we have never looked at the game Scythe.

Good and easy to teach four player board games can be a bit tough to find, but I think perhaps I’ve found it! A few weeks ago, a copy of Wonder Woods was delivered to the office, and although it took us a bit longer than we wanted to get it to the table, once we did, we played it for hours. Is Wonder Woods any good? Let’s take a peak!

Exploding Kittens has been one of the most high profile games to launch in the last few years, and for good reason. It is a fast paced and easy to learn card game for multiple players that has fun and wacky card combinations.

7 Wonders is one of the most popular games on the planet right now. And it’s won a ton of awards as well. While many folks think about Settlers of Catan and Ticket to Ride when discussing the gateway in more serious and strategic board games, 7 Wonders should be on that list as well. Not only is it easy to learn and teach, but it is accessible, and each game almost always feels different than the last. This week,…
