In Sunrise at the Studio, players will be using cards…

When I first pulled the box for Tatsumi out of the shipping container I was immediately impressed with the overall look. It was giving me some serious Tsuro vibes! I wasn’t sure what to expect when I cracked open the box, but what was inside was incredibly impressive. Tatsumi comes with a nice insert with spots for everything, and a bit of room to spare. I assume this was either for some crowd funding extras that I don’t have, or…

Kemet: Rise of the Gods has recently fulfilled its crowd funding campaign, and Matagot was nice enough to send over a copy of the expansion, along with the big storage box, for us to review.

Color us shocked when Marvel MaXimum Collection was not only announced this month but also released in the very same month. We also got to review it for Nintendo Switch. Marvel MaXimum Collection features 13 retro 2D games in all, with…

I just recently got back into Descent: Legends of the Dark campaign with my father-in-law and I’m beginning to remember why I love this game so much. I recently watched a  bunch of  reviews of the base game and the expansion, and they were less than spectacular. While I recognize the issues people have, the gameplay and story remains compelling to me, and makes me wonder if Act 3 will ever see the light of day. Recent announcements from Fantasy…
