Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure was a fun ride when we rode it last time at Epcot, but we had some many glitches and issues that made the entire experience really disappointing. Part of our recent trip to Epcot was to update our review and impressions of this ride – big thanks to Disney for having us out! Last time we rode Remy’s it was still showcasing the 3D ride. In a conversation with a longtime Remy’s cast member, they indicated the…

At this year’s Epcot International Festival of the Arts, Disney Lorcana is invading the World Showcase and it was a pretty good time. Disney generally runs really great events, and in partnership with Ravensburger and Lorcana, this was an amazing additional FREE activity for everyone who attends (while supplies last each day).  You begin by picking up your Disney Lorcana bundle that includes a small booklet with activities and information about the game, a sticker sheet, and pack of cards…

Nintendo of America announced this morning that there will be Partner Showcase airing tomorrow. We have all the details below. A Nintendo Partner Showcase has been announce for February 5th, 2026. Hey, that’s tomorrow! It will air at 8am central time and last “roughly” 30 minutes. It will feature Switch 1 and 2 games. Nintendo always packs a lot into these showcases, so we can expect a bunch of games shown. We have no idea what will be shown, other…

Of all the Carcassonne expansions we have reviewed so far, Towers and Thieves might be my least favourite. That said, it’s still an expansion I enjoy playing, which means even if it’s my least favourite, it’s still a good time! What’s in the Box? One of the major features of this expansion is a tower that you can build out of cardboard that will hold land tiles. If you prefer to draw land tiles from a stack instead of taking…

The Messengers and Mayors expansion for Carcassonne is all about extending your influence within the realm. Can you place these pieces strategically to earn more points, or will this expansion include too many new rules to be fun for new players? Let’s take a look! What’s in the Box? Messengers and Mayors is one of the bigger expansions for Carcassonne, and includes 3 new figures, in each player colour. The Mayor, Messenger, and Scarecrow figures are new additions to the…

Dewan from Space Cowboys came out of nowhere for me, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. The artwork on the front of the box was outstanding, though, and the promise of little wooden camp tokens on the back of the box was enough to draw me in. Space Cowboys always does a great production, and Dewan is no exception to this! First and foremost, two little things about punching the game and getting it sorted in the box. The…

While we argued that Inns and Cathedrals was a simple to add expansion that didn’t include a lot more rules, Traders and Builders is the next step that adds new rules, new tiles and new tokens to place out on the board. Is the rules teach for this too much to make it worth it for the average board game player? Let’s take a look! What’s in the Box? 24 new tiles can be added into your base game of…

With the re-launch of the Carcassonne expansions into numbered boxes, we are looking at each game individually in short articles. This time around we are checking out the Dragon and the Fairy, one of the more decisive expansions, at least of the first few released. What’s in the Box? The Dragon and Fairy expansion comes with 26 new land tiles marked with a fair icon, 1 double source tile and a double lake tile with dragon hoards on each side.…

We’ve have recently been working our way through some games from Inside Up Games, and the next one to land on our table is an area control game called Perch! I’ve seen Perch displayed a wide variety of trade events and conventions, and always been intrigued simply because of how it works. While area control isn’t my favourite game type, good components will always make me want to try something. And from what I have gathered, Perch is doing area…

The asmodee Kids lineup of games has been amazing so far. We talked at length when we reviewed the components for Splendor Kids that too often the production on kids games is mediocre at best. They are just games for kids, so why do they need to be good, right? Wrong. asmodee is stepping up and not only releasing fun games for kids, but giving them productions worthy of MUCH more expensive games. We just recently got Dixit Kids in…
