Lifeform Review
WDR Gold Essential
Lifeform was one of my most anticipated games so to finally see it released into the wild is fantastic. I’ve been tracking it’s development for years, for those unaware of the game its designer Mark Chaplin’s love letter to Alien. And it features all the white knuckle sci-fi horror fun that you’d expect from that […]
Necromunda
It all started back in 1990. A series of articles appeared in White Dwarf about gang warfare in the Warhammer 40,000 universe the system (Confrontation) was a radical departure from anything GW had previously offered. The articles featured the Hive World of Necromunda, its cities towering lawless labyrinthine monstrosities that dominated the polluted […]

The first place my mind goes to when people ask this question is Battlestar Galactica, a game which has definitely seen its’ […]
Risk: Star Wars Edition
WDR Silver
Force Friday saw Hasbro spewing a bloated heap of board games slapped with the Star Wars mantle all over the shelves. I’ve sifted through the congealed remnants and unsurprisingly most are terrible, slapdash cash grabs. However, glittering amongst this slurry of mediocrity is one gem Star Wars Risk. Now before you come over all Ackbar, […]
Dark Moon
WDR Silver
Hidden traitor games. For me, they are one of my most absolute favorite game mechanics introduced in this modern age of board gaming. The frenzied levels of finger pointing loud proclamations of distrust and the general level of tension these can instill among a group of dear friends over a dining table are fantastic. There […]
Room 25
