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 […]
Battle of the Austen: Matchmaker Vs Marrying Mr Darcy
So apparently Jane Austen is a genre of tabletop game… Who knew? Actually I did. I’m a fan of Jane Austen, I’m dating a much bigger fan of Jane Austen. When people started talking about these two games I knew buying Marrying Mr Darcy and backing Matchmaker would be an inevitability. The thing is, these […]
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 […]
Catch the Moon
Catch the Moon is a… Damn. Catch the Moon is an interesting little dexterity game which… Catch the Moon is a dexterity game. And sometimes I wonder why I do these things. I am dyspraxic. Quick comparisons are to having lag between my brain and my body. My spatial coordination is horrendous, as are […]
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. […]
Robot Wars
This is my life now. I reviewed Lost, 24 and really should get round to writing a review of Ground Force. My ‘friends’ have seen this and decided that I’m the bad charity shop licensed game reviewer, so I was sent Robot Wars: The Game, to review. Thanks, Glen. At first, I thought what most […]
Warhammer 40K 8th Edition
Unless you have been living under a rock (or perhaps deep in some form of cave system), you’ll have noticed that there has been rather a lot of noise coming from the direction of Nottingham. For it is here that the goliath of the UK games industry, Games Workshop, is based. Well, a new version […]
Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition Pre-Alpha
Just so you know where I’m coming from with this get yourself settled and I’ll tell a tale or two about my role-playing history with World of Darkness. Don’t worry, it’ll be quick. I lost my RPG cherry to Vampire: The Masquerade. I was 13 and had mistakenly been bought it for Christmas. It was […]
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 […]
Snowdonia
WDR Gold Essential
To celebrate the fifth birthday of the most excellent Snowdonia we present to you our modest review of my beloved games.
