Micro Macro Crime City Review

Micro Macro Crime City is a little different when it comes to calling it a ‘game’, is it really a game or is it more of an activity? Do I care? After playing it, not really. I hear ‘x is not a game, it’s an experience’ but isn’t that what this hobby is about? Micro […]

Azul: Queen's Garden

How much Azul is too much? Azul: Queens Garden Review

Let’s start off here, there is never too much Azul and that is confirmed by this new release of the (few year old) classic. I was drawn to Azul: Queen’s Garden primarily because I loved the original Azul and hadn’t had a chance to play any of the other releases as yet. In addition, I […]

orchard review

Orchard – a lesson in humility

We all have those little quirks in our gaming preferences. Mine happens to be the belief that the more components a game has, the better it will be overall. So when I went looking for a good chilled out solo game for an evening, I figured games more like Nusfjord. So when Orchard by was […]

five tribes review

Five Tribes review

Five Tribes, like the oasis in the desert, is one of those games that is gone as soon as you see it back in stock. It may be that the love that it has been given by bigger reviewers has boosted it’s sales, or that it is just a classic of all time. Five Tribes […]

too many bones

Why I didn’t buy Too Many Bones

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 […]

The Isle of Cats – Family review

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 […]

labyrinth war on terror

Games I bounced off – Labyrinth War on Terror

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 […]

The Mind cards

The Mind review

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 […]

cartographers player map

Cartographers Review

Context of the review – I have no idea how many times I have played this game solo and groups but it’s plenty. The copy of the game is the reviewers own.  Sometimes I find myself criticising a game like Eldritch Horror for being too in-depth, other times I just want to sit and play […]
