Stamp Swap

By Stonemaier Games, Paul Saloman I don’t know what it is with games which have really mundane themes, but something always appeals to me about them. Fantasy and science fiction are fine, I’ve got several games about Cthulhu and about zombies, but if you tell me there’s a game about a stamp convention, I’m in. […]

Hearthstone

by Mike Bon July 3, 2014
OK so yes this is a game on a computer. Don’t panic this isn’t a sudden departure for the site into video game reviews, but I have been playing this a lot and its at heart a CCG similar to Magic. If you are unaware Hearthstone is Blizzards grab for the online CCG market, pretty […]

Nothing Personal

Nothing Personal has been on my radar for a while, I mean a gangster game chock full of double crosses, whaking’s, and family infighting who wouldn’t want to play that? Who hasn’t watched the Godfather Movies or Goodfellas and not wanted to dip their gaming toe in those turbulent waters, who doesn’t want to smile […]

Moby Dick or, The Card Game.

by Mike Bon July 3, 2014
  Moby Dick the novel of whaling by Herman Melville has always been something of peculiar interest to me, the book is a strange beast rather like its title character. With its large digressions into the minute of whaling and a barrel full of subtext  it’s not for everyone and for many its a baffling […]

Stak Bots

by Mike Bon July 3, 2014
Stak Bots is a game I was very recently introduced to by none other than its creator Tom Norfolk. Whilst bumbling around at a game convention Ollie my eldest was rather taken by a large poster depicting the above little colorful and cutesy robots with the tag line “Battling Robots Card Game”. Being a eleven […]

Zombie Dice

by Mike Bon July 3, 2014
OK time for something very light. We love dice here and embrace any opportunity to play a game with them, which is lucky really as that’s all Zombie Dice is. In the tube you get 3 sets of different dice. Green, Yellow, Red. Each of the dice have 3 different types of symbol on them, […]

Coup

by Mike Bon July 3, 2014
Coup premiered at Essen 2012. Designed by Rikki Tahta it went on to be a huge success and pretty soon unfortunately went out of print.  Skip forward to early 2013 and Indie Board & Cards announced that they had picked up the rights to a re-theme and re-print setting it in their Resistance universe, a […]

Dominion

by Mike Bon July 3, 2014
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. Its easy to forget now quite what a […]

Firefly was a big hit at this summers Gencon 2013 selling out daily during the show and receiving a pretty universal thumbs up from all. Well finally its hitting our shores and so gives me an opportunity to dive into the outer and tell you what I think. First impressions. The box for this thing […]

City Of Horror

by Mike Bon July 3, 2014
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

by Mike Bon July 3, 2014
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). 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. […]
