Stak Bots – Red Expansion

by Mike Bon May 13, 2016
Stak Bots has been a part of the WDR furniture since I first started writing reviews, it’s grown up with us and is still the filler of choice for Son No.1. Not that he’d admit that in public these days, being a teenager he’s far more interested in that poster of Katie Perry, oh dear. […]

Shephy

WDR Bronze
Whoops, we’ve done an apocalypse. But in a surprising turn of events rather than cockroaches or unkillable robotic endoskeletons crawling from the ashes, it’s the sheep who will inherit the earth. Shephy is a solitaire game of flock building in the post-apocalypse, with nary a Border Collie in sight and the final “Come-Bye” uttered some […]

by Mike Bon May 5, 2016
Hello, hello. Very recently I was lucky enough to catch up with the fine gents from Antler Games to sit down and discuss Saltlands their new Post Apocalyptic set adventure co-op currently funding on Kickstarter.

Saltlands

by Mike Bon April 22, 2016
WDR Silver
The post-apocalypse is one of my most beloved genre’s thanks in large part to a petrol-head father, Mad Max and the fact we watched them pretty much on a constant loop in my formative years. It’s a disappointment then that hobby board games are still a wasteland when it comes to this genre; I endured […]

by Mike Bon April 19, 2016
It’s looking that video game conversions might well soon become tabletop’s new zombies. Recently we had the announcement that Eric Lang was working on a Bloodborne card game which was pretty damn exciting. Then what comes next but that we’re also set to get a Dark Souls licensed board game Huzzah!. If you’ve not ventured […]

Talisman 4th Edition

by Mike Bon April 7, 2016
Let’s play Talisman. It’s a phrase when uttered in gaming circles will either materialise hazy half-remembrances of wasted Sunday afternoons and dreamy expressions, send a gamer screaming from the room or get you punched. On the button pushing scale of gaming, it’s up there with other marmite flavoured delights such as Munchkin, Cards Against Humanity […]

Who Dares News 29th March 2016

by Mike Bon March 29, 2016
And so March shoots passed us like a pensioner on a mobility scooter going downhill with dodgy brakes. We’ve been a tad subdued on here of late as I happened to be on a cruise and short of re-mortgaging the house to get a WiFi connection on the ship I was off the grid. However […]

Fury of Dracula 3rd edition

by Mike Bon March 18, 2016
WDR Silver
Fury of Dracula shares much with its fanged protagonist/antagonist it has an eternally youthful demeanour and just when you think its dead, up it pops again with renewed fury and vigour. Originally rising back in the eighties from Games Workshops crypt it was a unique concept meshing theme and mechanics to excellent effect which probably […]
