Sandcastles
Ah trips to the beach, a distinctly British pastime of dragging the family down to one of our many coastlines and indulging in a spot of bonding over gritty ham sandwiches, lounging in a deckchair while being buffeted by a strong north easterly wind and applying copious amounts of sun cream to each other. Whilst […]
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 […]
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 […]
oddball Aeronauts
WDR Silver
OK so I’m coming a tad late to this party, in actual fact its a shocking oversight as the designers are local lads. Stop with the looks back there, OK the truth of the matter is I missed the original Kickstarter and fully intended to catch up with Nigel and Lloyd at the UK Games […]
Chroma Cubes
WDR Silver
Note that this based on a pre-release version of the game and the finished components and rules may differ, but it’ll still be cool. Now here’s a thing, when was the last time you indulged in some coloring in? Can’t remember right, neither could I, how had it come that I’d not indulged in a […]
Firefly The Game – Blue Sun
WDR Silver
Its time to take another mosey around the verse in the latest Firefly expansion from Gale Force 9, this time we’re heading out to Rim Space with the Blue Sun expansion. Since its launch over a year ago Firefly is a game that has been met with equal parts adoration and loathing with many being […]
Legendary Encounters
WDR Essential
Ever since Upper Deck announced their plans to release an Alien themed version of Legendary I’ve been staying frosty in anticipation. The film series is something I’ve adored since I first encountered everyone’s favorite Xenomorph back in 79, whilst not quite of age to see Alien on the big screen I devoured issues of Fantastic […]
Coin Age
WDR Silver
Kickstarter has given us a great many things Video Games, Comics, Potato salad! One area it has thrived is board games and more specifically the micro game has flourished in these mysterious seas, just cast a net into the turbulent kickstarter waters and you’re sure to drag up a net bulging with promise. Coin Age […]
Apocalypse:Galactic Arena – Preview
Note that this based on a pre-release version of the game and the finished components and rules may differ, but it’ll still be cool. You remember that episode of Star Trek, the one with the Shat drop kicking the big green lizard dude and getting his shirt torn (the Gorn for those discerning trek types) […]
Fresco Big Box
WDR Silver
The Renaissance, a glorious and romantic period in human history; a time over-flowing with creativity; a period which saw the production of some of the greatest works of art of all time: Michelangelo’s David and the Sistine Chapel, Leonardo Da Vinci’s Last Supper and Mona Lisa, Donatello’s Saint John The Baptist and Saint John The […]
