As much as I like big and grandiose board game experiences, having a few filler games with killer strategy is always important too. So often we finish a large board game and have 45 minutes left in our game night, and filling those moments and getting the most out of everyone being in the same room can be tough. Enter In the Footsteps of Darwin, a fantastic tile laying game where players look for animals, score points, and see who…

Far to often, board games that we may classify as simpler experiences often get sub-par productions. I understand why – I think the less a game is for hardcore gamers, the more likely the production quality doesn’t matter as much. In the Footsteps of Darwin is a fairly simple board game experience, but the design team has done a fantastic job making this feel like a very premium experience. Even my kids were impressed by the quality of this product.…

I’ve been playing a bit of Two Point Museum: Zooseum over the past week, and I have to say that I’m really impressed with what the Two Point Studios team has been doing. Between this DLC release and Fantasy Finds, this is such a fantastic package and is so worth the price you will pay for entry. Zooseum does a lot of different things with this release, which some people are going to dislike, but I think most people will…

2025 has been a good year for board games – we have played and reviewed over a hundred games this year, and it’s hard to whittle that list down to a top 5. While there are a ton of great candidates for this list, here are our favourite board games of 2025! Number 5 – Shallow Seas  Shallow Seas was a game I was interested in solely because of the publisher, Bad Comet Games. I love what Bad Comet has…

You know from previous posts we’ve made two things: Boxking Gaming did send us a table for review and to promote our various board game articles, and we love the table. There aren’t a ton of affordable board game tables out there, but Project Ironside is one of them, and we have been thrilled to own it. Now that we are six months into ownership, do we still love the table? Let’s take a look. There are things we really…

One of my most anticipated games of 2025 was The Hobbit: There and Back Again, a roll and write adventure that takes players through various moments of J.R.R. Tolkien’s popular novel, The Hobbit. The game does an excellent job showcasing key moments of the book in board game form, which I think is actually a tougher task than many might think. What started out as a negative experience quickly became something positive for me, and while I’m not 100% positive…

When it comes to tile laying – card laying – games, I’m generally pretty intrigued. I love the idea of building out a tableau to score points. What sets Oddland apart from those games is that the tableau you are building is being built by everyone, so you might be setting yourself up for a big score, but that doesn’t mean it won’t get ruined by someone else. There is a lot of interaction in Oddland, for better or for…

Cyber Rats is a roguelite survival horror game that puts you in the tiny paws of a genetically engineered rat trapped inside an AI-controlled test facility. The concept sounds bizarre, but that’s part of its charm. Outpost Games has created a tense, unsettling experience where your only goal is to escape a constantly shifting maze—or die trying. And trust me, you’ll die a lot. The game thrives on unpredictability. Every maze is procedurally generated, so no two runs feel the…
