It is no secret that I am a massive fan of Hive and take it with me wherever I can, so when another game in a cloth bag came across my desk I thought that it would tickle my fancy, but did it? The Stars Align follows a pretty simple premise, draw a card then […]
We are back to regular programming for Kickstarter of the week. So without further ado – what do we recommend? Special Mention The Tokyo series by Jordan Draper has a new bunch on Kickstarter at the moment. Japan holds a special place in my heart, so these are great to see, there are also some […]
Hive Pocket was one of the games that easily made it on our Best Travel games list a little while back, for good reason. It is easily portable, has massive replayability and fantastic components. The biggest issue that I have with Hive is that it is a game of skill, that is that there is […]
Traditionally an American sale, Australians are now starting to get the benefits from Black Friday sales. These are great sales to get a good deal, stock up on Christmas presents or even grab some games to introduce new players to the hobby come family gathering time.

This post may seem a bit early, but it really is only around 6 weeks until Christmas, so when you factor in buying time, postage and all of the other stress around Christmas it is probably timely! The purpose of this post is to look at a few of the reasons why you might be […]

Unbroken was one of the hits of Kickstarter this year and with it almost ready to come out, I was given a great opportunity to speak with it designer, Artem Safarov, about him and the process that led to Unbroken being made. Where did you get your start in the board games industry, are you […]
Unfortunately, this website doesn’t allow for international travel just yet, so attendance at Essen this year is off the cards but that doesn’t stop us from talking about the releases that we are looking forward to. With over 800 titles being released, it is definitely a mammoth task to keep ahead of the games, but we have […]
A little while back we spoke with Jamie Noble-Frier, an illustrator also known as The Noble Artist, who was working on his own game to launch on Kickstarter (here is the link to the campaign). Well the day has come and the game will go live this week on the 18th of September to the […]
Love Letter is another one of those games where I was initially put off by the theme, but once that is put aside a whole new world is there to discover. The idea of courtesans in Renaissance times just seems so boring to to me, I just can’t wrap my head around that theme. You know how […]
