City Of Horror

  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

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). Released in 1987 by Games Workshop Chainsaw Warrior was an instant no-brainer. Essentially this is a John Carpenter movie in a box, minus Kurt Russel. […]

Buffy The Vampire Slayer

by Mike Bon July 3, 2014
Released at the height of Buffy’s fame the buffy the vampire slayer board game is a surprising little box of goodies, it came from Hasbro who are never known for exerting themselves with licensed property’s besides slapping a new set of images on a Monopoly board. This really shouldn’t have been all that good and […]

Pacific Rim – Shuffling The Deck Game

by Mike Bon July 3, 2014
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

by Mike Bon July 3, 2014
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 […]

This game is so much fun! If you love the old Godzilla movies or ever played Rampage at the arcades then this is for you. The game is simplicity you play a monster and you have to either kill all your opponents or get 20 victory points. How you achieve this is by rolling dice. […]

This is such a great game, I recommend it without hesitation. But that’s a bit short for a review so indulge me while I tell you why. Designed by Matt Leacock and winner of numerous awards this is a cracking CO-OP game that by rights should be sitting alongside Monopoly on the shelves of every […]

Small world is light but fun territory control war game. Its main selling point is the randomness of the races you will be battling with each turn. And it comes with all the quality components you would expect of Days Of Wonder.
