Is Too Many Bones complicated? Is it worth the money to buy? Do I need to buy everything in order to properly experience the game? As of writing, Too Many Bones currently sits at Number 55 in the rankings of board games on boardgamegeek.com. Being in the Top 100 is a pretty prestigious thing, but […]
I usually wait until I have played a game in all forms before I give it a review, however I felt that it was necessary to do an early one for Isle of Cats, particularly from a family perspective. When Isle of Cats came through my door it was one of the more recent hotness […]
The next in the Games I bounced off series – this time Labyrinth: War on Terror. I started off my boardgaming in Warhammer and Necromunda, so wargames. I loved these games for their strategy and miniatures. Unfortnately, time makes a fool of us all and I no longer have time for miniature painting anymore and […]
Context of the review: I have played The Mind 5+ times at the 4 player count. The copy of the game is the author’s own. Every so often a game comes up that, when described, I’m left with an ‘Oh OK’ kind of feeling. That is what I initially thought when I heard about The […]

Context of the review – I am reviewing Curators during the current Kickstarter. I have played the game twice at the 2 player count, plus another time at the 3 player count. The copy of Curators is a prototype copy which was provided to reviewers by the designer. I love museums and have since […]
Context of the review: This review was written after 3 plays of Tapestry at the 2 player count and 2 plays at the solo player count. The copy of Tapestry was provided by Stonemaier Games at a significant cost reduction to Next Player. Tapestry, designed by Jamey Stegmaier, came to the scene with massive fan […]
This is the first post in the ‘What you might like’ series looking at games that may suit your style of play or your situation. First up is games for the family. In this time of isolation I see a lot of family time happening and especially playing games that you can pick up from […]
