Dominion
Friends we are travelling back to the golden hued times of bygone gaming, well five years anyway. Released in 2008 Dominion ushered the hugely popular Deck Building mechanic onto the face of modern board gaming, and has since spawned numerous imitators some brilliant and others not so.

City Of Horror
WDR Silver
City Of Horror is surprise surprise a zombie game, you’d have to have been living in a cave not to have noticed board game designers obsession with this genre. To be honest I find a majority of the zombie games on the market all a bit samey and at worse dull. I’ve played Zombies […]
Chainsaw Warrior
WDR Bronze
Travel back in time my friends to the 1980’s. The golden age of action horror movies, muscle-bound heroes and bad hair (all three are in fine form in They Live).

Pacific Rim – Shuffling The Deck Game
Ever since the kids saw Pacific Rim in the summer they have been obsessed with this film and the world it created, its probably the closest they have come to that fanatical joy I had when Star Wars first hit the big screen. To that end I have had an eye open for any cool […]
Kakerlaken Poker Royal
And now for something simple and fun. Filler games or openers or indeed closer’s (for those of you now confused let me quickly demystify those terms – fillers are just that a small quick game to play when you might be in a rush or waiting for others to arrive. Opener’s and closer’s and sort […]
