Frag – the first person shooter board game. If ever there was a game where the concept was a simple one, this is it. Its tagline says it all ‘If it moves, shoot it.’ Produced by Steve Jackson Games, with the original edition released in 2001, the game channels classic old-school First Person Shooters. This […]
Its a pine fresh new episode. Lovely. We discus what we’ve played including some early thoughts on Scythe. Mike gets all in a froth about Millennium Blades and murdering in Bloody Inn. As punctual as ever we discuss whats coming up at Gen Con (yes we know its been and gone) look for our post […]
Scythe was massively hyped even before hitting Kickstarter and unsurprisingly proceeded to smash through its initial funding goal in a matter of hours, going on to be really rather popular. Little has subsequently diminished the frenzy of hyperbole leading up to its release. It’s the cardboard equivalent of a summer blockbuster. Scythe represents Jamey Stegmaier’s […]
Ben, dropped me this piece as his first reaction to what has to be one of the most highly anticipated tabletop releases ever. Like Ben I’m still letting my final opinions percolate some more before it gets a final review, however inspired by his musings I’ve added some of my own, so think of this […]

Dungeon World has been my solution to wanting those kinds of experiences with some great mechanics. I’ve started my […]

Whatever you’re not so good at, maybe you’ll find the right bandmates, make the right decisions and stomp the […]

Millennium Blades, when described, sounds like a game about to perform the most extravagant Shark Jumping ever. It’s a card game that seeks to simulate the length and breadth of Trading Card Games (henceforth referred to as TCG) ala Magic The Gathering complete with the buying of boosters building of decks and the tournament scene […]
