Who Dares News On 13th February
Just a few short weeks ago I sat in the company of the gaming hive mind of Nigel and Lloyd Pyne (more on that in a moment) and lamented that Ghostbusters would make an excellent board game and that I was surprised nobody had thought of it yet. In my fevered eldritch tinged imaginations I […]
Who Dares News On 2nd February 2015
Greetings Greg’s Been a while since we did one of these and as Stuff! has occurred or is about to, I thought it was a suitable calm in the storm of the gaming teacup to stop for a quiet moment of contemplation and hit you all up with whats new and what we have coming […]
Imperial Settlers
WDR Gold Essential
My first introduction to Civ games was the granddaddy of em all Sid Meir’s Civilization. And oh my! have I whiled away countless hours chasing that next wonder or shiny new tech, its like historical crack. I’ve circled Fantasy Flights lavish board game adaptation like a seagull over a ham sandwich but I just couldn’t […]
London Toy Fair 2015
In January I made some bold (read foolish) proclamations of intent to run a series of articles relating to how the hobby game industry functions within the UK, the intent is to take a peek at all levels from distributors, designers to us lowly bloggers. I thought it would be an interesting topic to cover, […]
The D12 Challenge
What is this you may ask. Well its the D12 challenge isn’t it. “So what is it?” Its the brain child of that gaming Adonis Mr Nate Brett creator of and the driving force behind Board Game Hour (Mondays at 7pm GMT @BoardGameHour). The challenge is to help 12 new people DISCOVER the modern tabletop […]

Its been a relatively slow start to 2015’s gaming calendar, actually scrub that. It was a relatively slow start until yesterday. Gamelyn games have been building anticipation for their next release in the Tiny Epic series Tiny Epic Galaxies for a while, back at the start of 2014 saw their first big(small) release the original […]
And Here we go again! Yippee!
So we’ve packed 2014 away neatly back into its box, checked under the table for any missing components and bagged all its meeples, and slid it with satisfied contentment away onto the shelf. Lets take a breath because personally the last couple of months have been a bit of a blur, I’m in the unenviable […]
So long 2014 thanks for all the dice.
Whoa! (In full Keanu Reeves Matrix mode) and like poop from a lubed gooses backside 2014 has up and shot past us, really this year has been a blur, probably taking the analogy to its limits a smear, sorry. So as we sit here on the edge of tomorrow with 2015 beckoning us like a […]
Podcast Episode 16 – The Christmas Episode
Seasons greetings to you one and all. Updates have been a tad quiet around here of late and this is due to my day job which involves managing a large toy shop, I’ve been up to my ears in the special type of joy that only comes this time of year when faced with stressed […]
Mysterium
WDR Gold Essential
If a board game can be defined as such a thing as a sleeper hit then I think Mysterium is one, originally published by Portal Games back in 2013 this has long flown under the gamer radar. I personally didn’t know of its existence until rumblings started to emanate from Essen this year and swiftly […]
