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 […]
So it is a few months into the year, but I thought that I might write down some predictions on what we may see happen in the industry. The release of Blood on the Clocktower, I feel, will be a watershed moment in board game criticism and the line between review, preview and paid promotion. […]
