Vadoran Gardens
WDR Essential
Mike reviews Vadoran Gardens from designer Frank West. A tile laying game of tending your garden and looking after cute critters with a fiendishly surprising amount of puzzling to get your head around. Grab yourself a copy direct from the publisher Right Here And if you fancy a look at City of Kings and our […]
Ground Force
I am shocked to say, this is possibly the best licensed game I’ve bought from a charity shop so far. Ground Force is a game for 2-4 players, each of whom start off with a three-by-three grid of cards representing a smashed up garden. Look at it. What a mess. There’s a tire, there’s litter. […]
Mined Out!
WDR Silver
We fire up the camera and get our best glad rags on for a walk-through and review of the latest game from Brain Crack Games. Mined Out! Join us as we delve deeply into some musty old caverns and look for a gem or two.
GOSU
Sometimes you stumble upon a little gem by accident or by fortune. In the case of GOSU, I stumbled across it because someone at The Works stuffed up royally. I won’t go into too many details (it involved someone buying a large number of copies without checking the language it was printed in), but I […]
Game of Thrones LCG
Fantasy Flight Games like their Game Of Thrones license. They really, really like it, based on the number of products they appear to be releasing within a rapid succession of one another. You can barely take a breath before they announce another one coming soon to stores near you. This is not an article bashing […]
Sub Rosa: Spies For Hire
Sub Rosa is imminently due for release on Kickstarter. I was lucky enough to be furnished with a preview copy by the designer and following are my thoughts. Ever fancied yourself as a Spymaster? Sub Rosa deserves to be set during the 1970’s at the height of those shadowy cold war shenanigans, after all, who […]
Ashes: Rise of the Phoenixborn
WDR Essential
The duelling card game arena is sodden with choices. There is the behemoth Magic system with its thousands of cards and ferocious tournament play, an intimidating prospect for new players. Netrunner has its riveting asynchronous matches marred by a ridiculously steep learning curve enough to send a casual observer into spasms and investing into it […]
Boss Monster
Boss Monster is catnip for any passing geek, there’s the cool retro 8-bit style of the cards and the genius box design that alludes to those bygone days of gaming on creaky old consoles. Then there’s the theme, manage your own little dungeon as a bunch of heroes attempt to pillage it like some Conan […]
Lords Of War – Weather & Terrain Expansion
Last week we gave an enthusiastic review to the new faction pack from Lords Of War Templars Vs Undead, one of the things that we enjoyed the most from that set, aside from the amazing Steve Cox artwork was how with a couple of subtle new rule changes the game had taken on some […]
