Shifting Stones Review

Shifting Stones is another strong example of the quick yet fun board games that GameWright is publishing and pushing to a wider audience. GameWright's titles scratch that 'premium' board game itch while remaining easy to play and relatively inexpensive to purchase. When you want to play a strategically deep, but easy to learn board game, Shifting Stones is almost all you'll need.

Abandon All Artichokes Review

GameWright has mastered the ability to launch easy to learn, fun to play board and card game titles that are appropriate for a variety of ages. While often easy to learn, the games take a fair bit of strategic skill to win, and most can be completed within 30 minutes or less. For folks as busy as my wife and I, finding a few spare minutes to play a GameWright game is becoming a daily exercise. Abandon All Artichokes falls into the same mold as other GameWright games, and is an easy recommendation for card game enthusiasts.

Euphoria Review

Stonemaier Games is in the business of creating fantastic titles that are not only beautiful to look at, but are extremely fun to play, with deep mechanics that will have you playing game after game. Although an older title in their catalogue, Euphoria is a deep worker placement game that doesn't limit players actions like some worker placement games, and can be an enjoyable time for all. And yes, that includes folks that 'hate' worker placement games.

Can Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons Coexist in the Same Launch Window?

Once both Harvest Moon: One World and Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town launch in March 2021, the next few months are going to be very interesting for both franchises. In my opinion, as someone who has invested dozens upon dozens of hours into these types of games, it's pretty difficult to have multiple different games on the go, and when you do, one will always take precedents. So the real question becomes - can Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons coexist in the same launch window?

Why Is Stonemaier So Succesful?

I've long been a fan of Stonemaier games, and so have many of my friends and family members. So often I'll ask other board game aficionados which developer and publisher they like the most, and consistently the folks at Stonemaier are at the top, or at least near the top, of that list. So it made me wonder - why is Stonemaier so successful. I chalk it up to a few key points, all of which have created one of the best board game teams of the last decade.

More Thoughts From Me #260: New Festivale Horizons?

Yesterday was Festivale in Animal Crossing New Horizons. This is a holiday where a bird named Pave comes to your island and just wants to dance and collect feathers. Dancing, feathers, and prizes make up the gist of Festivale. Was this holiday worth checking out? Here are my thoughts on Festivale for New Horizons! Spoiler Warning just in case… Festivale in Animal Crossing New Horizons is an okay holiday. I liked catching feathers and seeing the animals dancing. The rainbow…

Lots to Love about the Evercade Retro Handheld Game Console

Retro games have been released on many platforms, and can easily be accessed on the Nintendo Switch, Xbox family of consoles, and the PlayStation family of consoles. Atari has released compilations of their best old games, as has numerous other companies. But they just don't feel right. Loading up a digital game on your giant TV feels wrong in some way, but there was really no other options, at least not until Evercade was launched.
