orchard review

Orchard – a lesson in humility

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.

Fall of Rome review

Pandemic: Fall of Rome review

  So, I’m meant to be in Rome this week but that is not to be. It is a time to stay at home and stay safe, but that’s not to say that I’m not disappointed about not being able to go on the holiday. This means that I have more time to play boardgames […]

My Favourite Solo Board Games

The best of the best Terraforming Mars – On initial play I wasn’t the greatest of fans of this one, despite it sitting in the Top 5 of BGG. Then I didn’t play it for a long time, before coming back to it solo, and what a decision that was! The game is so easy […]

Raiders of the North Sea Solo

Raiders of the North Sea Solo

We have recently reviewed Raiders of the North Sea and loved it, it is such a great game of pillage and plunder made by Garphill Games – this is just a quick note to say that there is currently a pre-order for a Raiders of the North Sea Solo variant which should be shipping at the […]
