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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

Super Boss Monster Review

Tony Mastrangeli — Fri, 06 Jun 2025 13:24:20 +0000

Boss Monster has a bit of a special place in my heart. It was one of the earlier reviews I did when I was just starting Board Game Quest, and it also has a ton of nostalgic charm. With its retro-inspired art and gaming callbacks, it’s hard not to smile while playing it. That’s not […]

Monumental African Empires Expansion Review

Chris Sacco — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 13:12:58 +0000

Writing reviews is hard work—the hours upon hours meticulously learning the ins and outs of a game’s design, the countless “test” playthroughs just to see which strategic interactions might be broken, the abundance of paper cuts suffered while punching out a plethora of uniquely shaped cardboard chits. Sometimes the task takes longer than anyone—particulary Board […]

Heroscape: Revna’s Rebuke Expansions Review

Tony Mastrangeli — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 13:27:57 +0000

Heroscape is back baby! Well ok, you already knew that if you read my review of the Heroscape Master Set: Age of Annihilation a few months back. It also won our 2024 Board Game Quest Award for Best Reprint. It’s on our tabletops again, it’s fully compatible with the original game, and my son is […]

Kyoto No Neko Review

Michelle Ridge — Tue, 03 Jun 2025 13:24:04 +0000

Cats and board games continue to be a perfect match, and Kyoto no Neko delivers both a theme and game mechanics that resonate well with me as a player. The game box itself and the key art is striking on the shelf, too. It’s been a lifelong dream of mine to go to Japan and […]
