Terraforming Mars Who Dares Rolls TV – Review
WDR Gold Essential
Some time ago we reviewed Terraforming Mars and promised to look at all the released expansions for the game. Well as we pretty much have all of them now out and available it was a great opportunity to revisit the base game and update our opinions (a bit) with a video review of the game. […]
Lewis & Clark
WDR Silver
Let’s go paddling downriver in our canoes, fortunately, this involves very little duelling banjos and thankfully no pig squealing. We’re going way back to the expedition of 1804 that saw Meriwether Lewis and William Clark exploring the newly acquired Louisiana Territory. Lewis and Clark is a frothy milkshake of deck builder, worker placement and […]
Terraforming Mars
WDR Silver
Welcome to our “Late to the Table” series of reviews. That’s industry code for eventually reviewing a hugely popular game long after every other reviewer, facebook group and pet with an opinion has flogged that particular nag to death. Anyway, where better to start than a cracking fugly hybrid euro sci-fi from a couple of […]
Bärenpark
Bears! Bears are pretty great. I’ve reviewed Honey Heist and really loved that. Bears can be adorable and deadly in equal measure. In the Who Dares Rolls Podcast 47 I mentioned taking part in the BoardGameGeek UK Maths Trade and getting Bärenpark. My partner heard that I was getting this game and cared about nothing else. […]
Snowdonia
WDR Gold Essential
To celebrate the fifth birthday of the most excellent Snowdonia we present to you our modest review of my beloved games.
Cape Horn
Adam is all at sea with Cape Horn. Yep he’s been in the bargain bin again.. Everyone knows I love both a bargain. Moreover, I love an obscure game that I can pick up at a bargain price and hopefully get a good bit of play out of. Having been previously rewarded with games like […]
Scythe
WDR Bronze
Scythe was massively hyped even before hitting Kickstarter and unsurprisingly proceeded to smash through its initial funding goal in a matter of hours, going on to be really rather popular. Little has subsequently diminished the frenzy of hyperbole leading up to its release. It’s the cardboard equivalent of a summer blockbuster. Scythe represents Jamey Stegmaier’s […]
A Study In Emerald – 2nd Edition
WDR Silver
What initially drew me to this was not designer Martin Wallace criminally this was my first sampling of his work, but rather its inspiration from the short story by Neil Gaiman. Gaiman’s tale collides the worlds of Doyles Holmes with Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos into the sort of thing to get any self-respecting geek into a […]
Viticulture & Tuscany Expansion
WDR Gold Essential
Have you ever dreamt of giving it all up, jacking it all in, saying goodbye to the sweat and the grind and staring a new life? Perhaps you want to open a B&B on the French Riviera? Or maybe, given the recent changes to the law in several US states, you fancy growing your own […]
Alchemists
WDR Bronze
Alchemists was one of the big hits from Essen 2014 with much ballyhoo concerning its reliance on an app to play. I was intrigued, not only by the apps inclusion (it did sound quite cool) but generally from what the game pertained to be, a heady concoction of deduction and worker placement all bottled together […]
