Auztralia Review
WDR Silver
Mike takes a gander at yet another cracking game from Martin Wallace in this spiritual successor to A Study In Emerald. It’s off to the outback to battle Lovecraftian monstrosities while dabbling in a spot of farming and railroad construction.
Shadow Tactics Kickstarter Preview
We start the week (kind of) with a preview of Antler Games latest bit of Kickstarter goodness Shadow Tactics:Blades of the Shogun. Featuring an abundance of hidden movement, stealthy card programming and bumbling Ninja Warriors its a heady mix of interesting mechanisms and play styles and we liked it a lot. As you can see. […]
Root: A Review of Might and Right
In Root, subtitled: ‘A game of Might and Right’ each player steps in to the role of a faction of cute (but deadly) forest critters, fighting for ownership of the various clearings in a vast woodland, and like it’s predecessor from Leader Games, Vast: The Crystal Caverns, Root is Asymmetric, meaning that each faction plays […]
Gloomhaven
WDR Gold Essential
So Gloomhaven, its an epic sprawling dungeon crawl board game with RPG allusions housed in a box capable of killing a planet if hurled at it from orbit. It went from being Kickstarter’s best-kept secret to subsequently last years biggest regret prompting a multi-million dollar funded second printing. More recently it was heralded as the […]
Wreck & Ruin
We first encountered Wreck & Ruin at last years EXPO where Tony and Jaime just two of the Hydra-like offshoots of our sinister review operation had experienced a blistering slice of post-apocalyptic mayhem and had loved it! I tried and failed to get a game in at the show as it was proving rather popular […]
Starfighter
Thanks to my well-known obsession with all things tabletop, every Christmas my friends and family attempt to outdo themselves by seeing what little gaming gems they can find me. Sometimes they succeed and sometimes I get Liar’s Dice. This year was no exception and with giddy delight, I turned to the neatly wrapped boxes before […]
D Day Dice
As this long out of print and particularly hard to find little devil has recently reemerged on Kickstarter I thought I’d pull out this old review from the vaults. Give it a polish and put it up here in case you missed it the first time. Having looked at the new edition other than some […]
Inis
This one snuck up on me. I had seen it a few times in games shops I frequent (I’m not always about the bargain bin you know), but the cover never grabbed my attention. Possibly the lady in a weird hat or maybe the very bright colour choices. Quick history lesson folks the artist of […]
SeaFall
A warning to passing travellers for your safety contained below within the secret passages is a deeper look into our SeaFall experience. Be warned these rarely trodden paths are treacherous and filled with the most heinous spoilers…OK look if you don’t want your SeaFall campaign to be ruined don’t click the bloody things, just so […]
Nine Worlds
WDR Bronze
Vikings are the new black. The zombie hoards having finally taken a dirt nap for the time being, although I fully anticipate some zombie Vikings in the not too distant future. So last year we got the extravagant toy filled fun of Eric Lang’s Blood Rage followed by an invasion of other violent Scandinavian tourist […]
