I can remember it like it was yesterday. The early 90s, me sitting down at the table behind my GM screen, ready to control the minions of Zargon. By now I’m sure most of you have heard of HeroQuest. Originally published in 1989, this is the granddaddy of the tabletop dungeon crawler game. Back then, […]

I’m going to be a little bit vulnerable and make a confession here: I will play any game that includes an axolotl. Those weird and wiggly little water lizards with frilly gills and no thoughts behind their eyes? They’ve captured both my soul and my wallet. First, they sold me on Everdell: Pearlbrook, with its […]

Splotter Spellen Games have stayed with me since I started gaming and before I started logging plays in 2017. My tastes have dramatically changed over the years, but owning and playing Splotters hasn’t stopped. In fact, I rarely pre-order games (Kickstarters included) and I pre-ordered 2023’s release. I think all their games have unique ideas, […]

Back in 2021, fellow BGQ reviewer and dueling game addict Andrew reviewed Ashes Reborn. That itself was a release and retooling of Plaid Hat Games original dueler, Ashes: Rise of the Phoenixborn (2015). Well here we are in 2024 (technically 2023 when it released) and Plaid Hat Games has thrown another curveball into the Ashes […]

One of the most interesting things about modern board games is how innovation is often hidden behind unnecessary complexity. It seems that many new designs add mechanism after mechanism, most of which serve to unnecessarily bloat a game. (Vladimir Suchy—a good designer overall—is particularly guilty of this.) Sometimes, however, a game takes a few tried […]

Contestant Number 3, do you enjoy long walks through forbidden goblin infested forests? Getting jiggy with Gelatinous Cubes? Decking yourself out in only the best fur speedos when it comes to adventuring gear? It sounds like we should take a stroll through Dungeon Date together, a 1-4 player card game about romancing, befriending, or slaying […]

Sometimes, a game sells itself to you just in its name. I was asked “Do you want to review Noobs in Space?” Knowing nothing else about it, I did not even look at the BGG link before saying yes, solely because of the name. Only later did I discover it was a cooperative game, which […]

In my attempt at trying to ween my kids off mindless mass-market games (a la Trouble or Candyland), I’m always on the lookout for games in the “My First” or “My Lil'” lines. My tykes have cut their teeth on a number of HABA games throughout the years, and lately have really been into Catan […]

Good presentation does a lot for me in terms of generating interest in a game, but a game’s mechanics are what keeps me engaged. Dragonkeepers, designed and illustrated by Michael Menzel, caught my attention with its cute dragons, but does the spellbook manipulation work? Is there enough decision space to keep me entertained, while also […]
