Fruit Fight Review

Tony Mastrangeli — Fri, 20 Jun 2025 13:43:38 +0000

Publisher CMYK has recently released a series of boxed card games called their “Magenta” line. For those of you who aren’t print nerds like me, CMYK stands for Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Black, the four colors used in printing. Does this mean that they might eventually release a Cyan line or a Yellow line? Who knows? But for now, […]

Rallyman Dirt Monte-Carlo Expansion Review

James Wolff — Thu, 19 Jun 2025 12:58:52 +0000

Rallyman Dirt was a game I had originally eyed on Kickstarter, but decided to hold off on backing. At the time, my kid was a little young for the game when I thought it would get delivered, and I also thought he might outgrow a love of racing. Unfortunately for the backers, Holy Grail Games […]

Underwater Cities Review

Andrea Champagne — Wed, 18 Jun 2025 13:23:41 +0000

Underwater Cities was an early purchase when I was still in the “must-buy-it-if-it-can-be-played-solo” thought process. Thinking solo-able games were a limited market (WRONG!), I bought this without knowing much about it. I have never regretted this purchase. Underwater Cities has become one of my most-played games. I like thematic ambient sounds in the background when […]

Wraith and the Giants Review

Austin Charlie — Tue, 17 Jun 2025 13:06:00 +0000

Things are bad. Monstrous colossi stride the earth, leaving naught but death and destruction in their wake. In the face of these awe-inspiring behemoths, only you have the skills and training required to take them on—if you fail, your people are surely doomed… No, I’m not talking about that game. No, not that one either. […]

Confessions of a Lightly Treasonous Importer

Andy Schwarz — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 13:09:01 +0000

I’m doing my part as a patriotic American in national security crisis related to Chinese cardboard. Or maybe it’s a crisis caused by excessive Dutch innovation related to fast food simulators. Or alternatively, the crisis may be in Canadian e-commerce. Likely all three, possibly just two, but definitely at least one. How can I be […]

Inventors of the South Tigris Review

Victoria Stefanelli — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 13:16:01 +0000

As a real-life scientist who is all too familiar with how long and arduous the process of scientific innovation can be, I was excited to see how many inventions I could bring from ideation to publication—all within the comparatively short playtime (compared to real life) of 90-180 minutes in Inventors of the South Tigris. For […]

Roll Player Adventures: Silver Threads of Fate Preview

James Wolff — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 13:13:18 +0000

Roll Player Adventures is one of the games I point to as being the closest to a role-playing game due to its combination of adventure, narrative, character building, and combat. It’s a game I’ve played quite a bit and always enjoy having played the base campaign one and half times through, and I’m on the […]

Unstoppable Review

Austin Charlie — Tue, 10 Jun 2025 13:23:58 +0000

I think it’s fair to describe John D. Clair as king of the card-crafting deckbuilder. Admittedly, no one else is vying for that throne, but it’s hard to deny the man’s prolificacy in the arena of “putting cards in sleeves with order cards to create different cards.” From the light, whimsical forests of Mystic Vale […]
