Great Western Trail review Australia

Great Western Trail Review

Several years have passed since Great Western Trail was released and I had managed to not play it since then, partly because I have been playing other things, but also partly because I had tried to avoid it a little bit lame, especially with the box art. I thought that this was some sort of […]

King of Tokyo review Australia

King Of Tokyo review

Kaiju have always held a special place in my heart since seeing a film in the early 80’s about a monster that took people from their beds and ate them. That special place in my heart was mostly being mortally terrified but not now that King Of Tokyo has found it’s way in. Now I […]

Robinson Crusoe board game review

Robinson Crusoe Review

Beware, here be danger! Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island released by Portal Games and developed by Ignaczy.. is a brutal take on the survival genre. It seamlessly blends worker and tile placement with narrative adventure, and is probably one of the most challenging games that you will play, even though it is a […]

ex libris australia

Ex-Libris Review

Scythe Review

Scythe may have been out a while now, but it has won the hearts of a lot of people and still sits in the top of many reviewers lists, so what is it about Scythe that sets it apart? I come from a background of Warhammer 40k and Necromunda (a looong time ago), so miniatures […]

azul australia

Azul Review

Azul has been the talk of the town for a little while now, with plenty of convention activity in the States especially with the Giant Azul copies that we see plenty of photos of. So it was time for me to get a copy and see what all the fuss is about. I picked my […]

Sushi Go! Review

Sushi Go! is a classic already and probably the initiation into modern board games for a lot of people. The box is compact and the rules are easy and accessible to the point that they can be taught in probably less than 5 minutes. The games comes with a deck of cutesy sushi cards and […]

Fox in the Forest Australia

Fox in the Forest Review

A trick taking game for 2 players, really? Yup – in another strong undertaking from Renegade and Foxtrot games, they have hit it out of the park with this game.  The game play is super simple,  one player places a card and the second player tries to beat that…or not. The trick of Fox in […]
