I love a really good adventure board game, and have played a ton over the years. I’ve had a blast with Descent: Legends of the Dark and Betrayers War, The Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle Earth, Tainted Grail: Kings of Ruin, and of course, The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era. The one thing that makes The Elder Scrolls different form the other games is that each game is broken down into very clear sessions ranging from…

I was recently watching The Dice Tower review for Flamecraft Duals and one thing struck me as I watched: how much does a solid production matter? Both reviewers praised the games production, but neither of them particularly enjoyed the experience, with one score coming in at a 4/10 and the other a 6.5/10. In this situation, despite a great production, there wasn’t enough game there for this group to rate it any higher than mediocre / just ok. If you’ve…

Snake Charmers is a hidden role game I can get behind. I absolutely suck at bluffing, so games like Coup are not good for me when I’m stuck with a specific role. In Snake Charmers, though, your role can change and I absolutely love how that works. There are always two groups of people: snakes and others. In the middle of the table are numbered cards from 1-6 and they are all on their “night” side. The deck that players…

Long before I was reviewing board games I had the chance to play Wild Serengeti from Bad Comet Games. This game made me fall in love with animal themed games, and we even wrote about it in our top 5 animal themed game article a few years back. Wild Serengeti is definitely a bit longer than than I would like, but the turn to turn moments are really strong. In Wild Serengeti, players are attempting to maneuver animals into positions…

Hello 2026! Its a brand new year and that means new games to look forward too. Here are the games I can’t wait to play this year. Here are my top 10 games I’m looking forward to in 2026: Animal Crossing New Horizons Switch Update & Switch 2 Upgrade: My favorite Nintendo Switch game is still Animal Crossing New Horizons. When Nintendo announced that they would do a brand new update and Switch 2 edition for the game, my hype…

My wife and I are heading back to Florida for a quick trip on the Disney Wish and a day at Epcot, one of Disney’s most technologically impressive parks. We will have reviews of our time on the Disney Wish for sure, but it’s our time at Epcot that I am most excited about. As we head back to Florida on another adventure, let’s take a look at the technical aspects of what Epcot has to offer visitors, with information…

Tokaido Duo takes the peaceful, laid-back vibe of the original Tokaido and turns it into a focused, clever game designed specifically for two players. If you’re familiar with the original, this isn’t just a “smaller” version of that game—it’s its own thing, built from the ground up to work best as a head-to-head experience.   Instead of each player controlling a single traveler, both players share control of three different characters, each moving along their own path. On your turn,…

I’ve been playing board games for a long time now, but I can still remember the first games I played when I first got into the hobby. In this article I’ll rank those games and talk about what I like about them still, or reasons I don’t play them anymore! Let’s get started! Catan – Catan is a game I just don’t play anymore, and almost nothing is going to get me to play them unless there is a group…

2026 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting years in gaming in recent memory. It’s a year packed with bold new ideas, long-awaited sequels, and creative risks that could redefine genres. As someone who loves games that mix strong storytelling with innovative mechanics, these ten titles have me counting down the days. Here’s why each one has earned a spot on my “must-play” list—and what I’m hoping to experience when they finally arrive. Resident Evil: Requiem Resident…

Imagine a world where cleaning isn’t a chore—it’s a competitive sport. That’s the quirky premise behind Hoover Heroes, an indie multiplayer brawler that’s currently making waves in its PC beta. Developed by Kiki Games, Hoover Heroes takes something as mundane as a vacuum cleaner and turns it into a weapon of pure chaos. The result? A laugh-out-loud, physics-driven experience that feels like a mash-up of slapstick comedy and competitive gaming. From the moment you boot up Hoover Heroes, you know…
